Hello. I am using bird 1.6 on Linux. If I run the ripng protocol on the sit tunnel interface, until an IPv6 LinkLocal address is assigned to the interface, the ripng protocol does not start (does not receive or send messages). Even if a static unicast IPv6 address is assigned to the sit interface.
Can ripng in bird 1.6 implementation use an interface with static unicast address but without LinkLocal ?
Hello No, BIRD requires link-local IPv6 address on both sides for RIPng - it is not active on ifaces without link-local address, and it ignores RIP packets with source address that is not link local. This is required by RIPng RFC (RFC 2080). -- Elen sila lumenn' omentielvo Ondrej 'Santiago' Zajicek (email: santiago@crfreenet.org) "To err is human -- to blame it on a computer is even more so."
