(resending with proper from address)
Hello,
It seems that bird ignores any interfaces / ip addresses which have a subnet mask of 255.255.255.255. This seems to apply to both BGP as OSPF. An interface configured with A.B.C.D/E (E<32) seems to be picked up just fine, whereas configuring it A.B.C.D/32 and a route to A.B.C.D/E does not result in the interface to be picked.
BIRD definitely did not ignore interfaces with /32 mask, (for example, you can have BGP or OSPF link with peer addresses without any problems). But if you just add IP address with /32 mask (without specifying a peer address) and then add a device route for some other network, IP addresses from such network are not considered to be neighbors. I am not sure if that answers your questions. -- Elen sila lumenn' omentielvo Ondrej 'SanTiago' Zajicek (email: santiago@crfreenet.org) OpenPGP encrypted e-mails preferred (KeyID 0x11DEADC3, wwwkeys.pgp.net) "To err is human -- to blame it on a computer is even more so."
