Hi, In an attempt to limit it to only two interfaces, I added this: protocol device { interface "eth2r", "ppp0"; } Nevertheless, "birdc show interface" displays _all_ interfaces. But it still says Network not found. So I also added a kernel stanza: protocol kernel { learn; persist; ipv6 {export all;}; } Now it shows routes! I have: 588-north:bird# birdc show route BIRD 2.0.7 ready. Table master6: ::/0 unicast [kernel1 12:10:08.587] (10) dev ppp0 2a02:29e1:300:e922::/64 unicast [kernel1 12:10:08.587] (10) dev eth2r Thank you! However, I thought that with static having route 2a02:29e1:300:e900::/56 unreachable; After learning the local interface addresses, bird would gather that (only) the addresses not configured are unreachable. It says: 589-north:bird# birdc show route for 2a02:29e1:300:e918::5 BIRD 2.0.7 ready. Table master6: ::/0 unicast [kernel1 12:10:08.587] (10) dev ppp0 That IP should be unreachable. How do I tell it that? Best Ale On Mon 24/Apr/2023 20:23:32 +0200 Maria Matejka via Bird-users wrote:
Hello!
It looks like you are missing "protocol device {}" which you need for BIRD to actually know about the interfaces and assigned addresses.

Hi all,
I installed bird2 (Debian stock) and configured radv, following the documented example.
When bird it started, it said: Apr 24 12:36:55 31 north bird: static1: Channel ipv6 connected to table radv_routes Apr 24 12:36:55 31 north bird: static1: Initializing Apr 24 12:36:55 31 north bird: radv1: Channel ipv6 connected to table radv_routes Apr 24 12:36:55 31 north bird: radv1: Initializing Apr 24 12:36:55 31 north bird: static1: Starting Apr 24 12:36:55 31 north bird: static1: State changed to up Apr 24 12:36:55 31 north bird: radv1: Starting Apr 24 12:36:55 31 north bird: radv1: State changed to up Apr 24 12:36:55 30 north bird: Started Apr 24 12:36:55 31 north bird: radv1 < interface eth2r created Apr 24 12:36:55 31 north bird: radv1 < interface ppp0 created
No more logging. After some hours I get this: 541-north:bird# birdc show route for 2a02:29e1:300:e922::2 BIRD 2.0.7 ready. Network not found
What does it mean? I configured static routes in the kernel. Perhaps I should only configure them in bird. 542-north:bird# ip route get 2a02:29e1:300:e922::2 2a02:29e1:300:e922::2 from :: dev eth2r proto kernel src 2a02:29e1:300:e922::1 metric 256 pref medium
My ISP assigned to me 2a02:29e1:300:e900/56. I have a few addresses assigned locally, and 2a02:29e1:300:e922::1 to the lan interface (eth2r), reserving that /64 for lan hosts. A neighboring PC has 2a02:29e1:300:e922::2/64.
External routing doesn't work, but this is another question (also asked on stackexchange: https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/742826/ipv6-over-pppoe)
There must be something wrong in the config, which I don't know how to fix. I paste it below. What did I get wrong?
TIA Ale
