Thanks for the clarification! I confirmed that I see the specified protocols using `show protocol all`: With ipv4 and ipv6 tables added explicitly: ... [preceding lines] ... Local capabilities Multiprotocol AF announced: ipv4 vpn4-mpls ipv6 ... [following lines] ... With just the vpn4 mpls table: ... [preceding lines] ... Local capabilities Multiprotocol AF announced: vpn4-mpls ... [following lines] ... I'll follow up with the bird-lg contributors, it's possible that it's not ready to handle the output from BIRD 2 for multi-table protocols.

Following the example at https://github.com/BIRD/bird/ blob/v2.0.2/doc/bird.conf.example2, I set up a simple bird config (see below).
It is working, but I am not certain what the '---' in the table column of the output of `show protocols` means. I expected the column to display vpntab4.
Hi
BGP in BIRD 2 is generally a multi-table protocol (although you use just one channel / one table) and because of that associated table is not shown in 'show protocol'. You will see it in 'show protocol all'.
