Sorry, I've not read your email carefully. I saw errors "kernel1 < rejected by protocol" in log and lack of "device routes yes" in config and suggest my solution. local table has special meaning in Linux, and I've never try do some trick with it. I can suggest use ip monitor and read bird source. On 11/25/2016 04:32 PM, Eric Vyncke (evyncke) wrote:

Hi Volodymyr,

Thanks for your suggestion, but, already tried without any success :-(

Hi Eric, have you tried "device routes yes" ?

Ondrej, But grep'ing for RTN_LOCAL in the code, I have also tried this but then the route is marked 'unreachable' and I cannot import it to be exporting in OSPFv3 (which is my goal actually). Thanks for confirming that I was looking in the right direction ;-) -éric On 25/11/16 15:46, "Ondrej Zajicek" <santiago@crfreenet.org> wrote: On Fri, Nov 25, 2016 at 11:39:32AM +0000, Eric Vyncke (evyncke) wrote: > Hello, > > I am trying to import 'local' routes from the kernel into Bird without any success... > > The route is installed as: "/sbin/ip -6 route add local 2001:db8:cafe:babe::/64 dev lo" (it allows the host to reply/answer to any address in this prefix :-)) Hello Routes in table 255 have special type (RTN_LOCAL, RTN_BROADCAST ...) and these route types are unsupported by BIRD. You could import them as unreachable routes by compiling BIRD with attached patch. Also note that routes with 'proto kernel' are ignored, byt that is probably not relevant to your case, just to other routes in table 255. -- 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."
