Hello,
I'm new to this list, so please bear with me.
I'm trying to set up a BGP route advertising server with BIRD,
in order to update IPv6 static routes to a juniper router.
My configuration is as follows (addresses omitted to avoid identification):
==START==
log syslog { debug, trace, info, remote, warning, error, auth, fatal, bug };
log stderr all;
router id <omitted>;
debug protocols all;
protocol device {
scan time 10; # Scan interfaces every 10 seconds
}
protocol static {
route <subnet>/64 via <gateway>;
route <subnet>/64 via <gateway>;
route <subnet>/64 via <gateway>;
}
protocol bgp {
local as 64515;
source address <own address>;
rs client;
export filter {
if source = RTS_STATIC then {
#bgp_next_hop = <gateway>;
#gw = <gateway>;
accept;
}
};
neighbor <omitted> as <omitted>;
}
==END==
I can see the correct routes being advertised, even with the correct 'via'
in Debug traces,
However, received routes are in the form of:
<subnet>/64 via <bird source address>.
I'm sure I haven't set next-hop self, so this behaviour seems strange to me.
Could anyone please provide some insight into this?
Cheers,
