Bird 2 config syntax

21 Sep 2021

      Hi,

why is it not possible to define BGP sessions like this?

protocol bgp g60 {
	local as 64501;
	neighbor as 64499;
	ipv4 {
		import all;
		export all;
		};
		local 192.0.2.4;
		neighbor 192.0.2.5;
	};
	ipv6 {
		import all;
		export all;
		local 2001:db8::4;
		neighbor 2001:db8::5;
	};
};

It seems still necessary to write two bgp definitions separately for 
IPv4 and IPv6 repeating the AS numbers and name.

I see no benefit from the Bird 1.6 notation here.

Regards
