Hi,
Is there any specific reason why bird (1.6.0 @linux in particular) does not process static routes like:
route 10.101.0.0/24 via "eth1";
when eth1 has no assigned IP address (but is up & active)?
This route is completely legal but it is invisible anywhere, simply ignored (even does not appear in debug messages).
That is true. For historical reasons, BIRD handles interface without IP addresses as down. -- 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."
