uuuhhh... 1.6? This version has not been receiving updates for quite some time. Definitely more than 5 years ago. And even before that, for a few years version 1.6 was only receiving fixes. I suggest you consider migrating to the current version of Bird2, which if I'm not mistaken is 2.16.1 Em qui., 13 de fev. de 2025 às 00:08, Jimmy Lim <jhalim10@gmail.com> escreveu:
Hi guys,
I have multipath enabled on bird6 running in old 1.6.8. I discovered that the IPv6 prefix failed to be installed properly in the kernel with more than 1 path and when multipath is enabled.
syslog message:
Feb 9 23:54:31 x40-n bird6: kernel1 < replaced fcdf::/16 multipath Feb 9 23:54:53 x40-n bird6: kernel1: fcdf::/16: reinstalling Feb 9 23:55:53 x40-n bird6: kernel1: fcdf::/16: reinstalling Feb 9 23:56:53 x40-n bird6: kernel1: fcdf::/16: reinstalling
The IPv6 prefix is installed properly if I remove multipath in bird6:
# merge paths on;
But then it means the path won't be shared with the rest of the path.

Do you guys encounter this issue or is there any other configuration needed? The multipath works well in IPv4/bird.
Thanks, Jimmy
