Hello, I'm trying to build a setup which includes changing the bgp_next_hop of the bgp announcements. In IPv6 I would like to include both global and link local addresses of the changed next hop, however I'm struggeling with the format. Is this possible ? If so, what would be the correct syntax ? i.e. bgp_next_hop = "global_addr ll_addr"; failed. Thank you. kind regards, -- Claude Tompers Chief Network Officer LU-CIX Management GIE 4, rue A.

Hello This is currently not possible. Manually changed bgp_next_hop is sent without associated link-local address. There is one exception - if bgp_next_hop is manually changed to the BGP session source address, then appropriate link-local address is used (like in 'next hop self'). -- Elen sila lumenn' omentielvo Ondrej 'Santiago' Zajicek (email: santiago@crfreenet.org) OpenPGP encrypted e-mails preferred (KeyID 0x11DEADC3, wwwkeys.pgp.net) "To err is human -- to blame it on a computer is even more so."
