let's 192.168.1.1 is my router Wan IP. One single physical router running bird and bird6. Solution 1 : bird router id = 192.168.1.1 bird6 router id = 192.168.1.1 Solution 2 : bird router id = 192.168.1.1 bird6 router id = 127.0.0.1 Is that what you're advising ? What are the benefits of using IPv4 loopback as bird6 router id ??! :-) On Mar 19, 2015 11:13 AM, "Job Snijders" <job@instituut.net> wrote:

Is it good practice to use same router id for bird and bird6 ?
I'm wondering if there are some drawbacks or pitfalls ?
I see no reason why not to use the same router id.
I second that. If they are the same physical box, using the IPv4 loopback as router-id in bird6 is a good (and common) approach.
Kind regards,
