Hello, I'm trying to clone some routes bird leaned via the direct protocol into another kernel routing table. A simple example: log syslog all; debug protocols all; table t_test; protocol device {} # export t_test table to kernel table 100 protocol kernel k_test { table t_test; kernel table 100; export all; } # static route - shows up in table 100 protocol static static_test { table t_test; route 10.1.1.1/32 drop; } # direct routes # doesn't show up in table 100 protocol direct d_test { table t_test; } bird learns the routes perfectly fine but doesn't export them to the kernel table again: # birdc show route table t_test BIRD 1.3.9 ready. 10.1.1.1/32 blackhole [static_test 19:40] * (200) 192.168.0.0/24 dev eth0 [d_test 19:40] * (240) # ip route show table 100 blackhole 10.1.1.1 proto bird This log extract shows the reason for this: k_test: Connected to table t_test k_test < added 10.1.1.1/32 blackhole k_test < rejected by protocol 192.168.0.0/24 dev eth0 I suspect that this is intentional behavior (kernel protocol rejecting routes from direct protocol) as it doesn't make much sense adding direct routes to the kernel in scenarios with a single default/main routing table. But in my case that's what I need. Is there a workaround to make this work? Best regards, Gustav
