Hí,
I have recently found out a problem with assigning IPv6 prefix via static protocol for the VLAN interface.
When I wrote this: protocol static leases { route 2001:db8:0:100::/56 via fe80::xxxx:xxff:fexx:xxxx%eth1.3330; }
It gave me: /etc/bird/leases6.conf, line 2: syntax error
However, when I use a host interface for that VLAN (%eth1), it suddenly works.
Hi The IP%iface syntax in BIRD is a hack that uses symbol syntax for iface name, which allows just alphanumeric chars and underscore. You could try fe80::xxx%'eth1.3330'
Is there a way how to insert static route pointing to the VLAN interface?
Well, it is unrelated to VLAN iface, it is problem with dot in name. Also note that it is possible to use vconfig set_name_type VLAN_PLUS_VID_NO_PAD to have VLAN ifaces named vlanXX, or VLAN can be created with any name using 'ip' tool instead of 'vconfig' tool. -- 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."
