Is this a known bug? Or have I misconfigured something? What does the exclamation mean?
It means that bird wasn't able to push the route into the kernel. There should be plenty of messages in syslog complainig about this. Does this give some clue?
Ah ha! I see in /var/log/messages: bird6: Netlink: No such device Thanks for the hint. Some Google searches later, I've discovered that Linux doesn't allow blackhole for IPv6 for some reason. I guess I will use "unreachable" instead of "blackhole" then. Regards, Anand
