Hi,
I have something like this in my config (bird 1.6.3 @linux):
protocol static {
route 10.1.0.0/24 via "eth1";
route 10.2.0.0/24 via 10.1.0.1;
}
Route to 10.1.0.0/24 is installed as expected, but, route to 10.2.0.0/24
is not showing up anywhere, while it seems logical that once its covering
network is routed it should be installed too.
Even if I add route to 10.1.0.0/24 manually (outside of bird) and it is
visible to bird, 10.2/24 is still ignored, it is only installed if (and
only if) I add an IP within 10.2.0.0/24 range to the interface.
Is it a bug or intentional behavior? Is there any way to workaround this?
Yes, I know that I can use recursive routes but this is not an option in
my setup - the gateway has to be exact, routing through interface will
not work.
The aim is to maintain a list of routes which will be activated if:
- device is up
- gateway becomes available through any other active route (like in my example)
Thank you!
