Hello,

I am trying to import 'local' routes from the kernel into Bird without any success...

The route is installed as: "/sbin/ip -6 route add local 2001:db8:cafe:babe::/64 dev lo" (it allows the host to reply/answer to any address in this prefix :-))

My bird6.conf is:

protocol direct {

interface "lo";

}

# Table main is 254

# Table local is 255

protocol kernel {

        debug all;

        learn;

        persist;

        scan time 10;

        import all;

        export all;

        kernel table 255;

}

The log shows an attempt to import a connected route but not the 'local' one

Assistance will be welcome (and I did google a lot)
