Another bird newbie question I'm afraid. I have the following config:

         10.255.199.3   10.255.199.1
[Quagga]----------------------------- [BIRD]
              10.255.199.0/24

My bird config and quagga config are at the bottom of this email.

Bird is learning a kernel route (6.6.6.6) and advertising it to quagga.
This works fine.

Quagga is originating a default route (0.0.0.0/32) and advertising it
to bird. The advertisement works fine, but I see:

bird> show route
6.6.6.6/32         via 10.99.99.2 on dummy [kernel1 18:02] * (10)
0.0.0.0/0          unreachable [MyBGP 18:26 from 10.255.199.1] * (100/-) [i]
bird> show route 0.0.0.0/0 all
0.0.0.0/0          unreachable [MyBGP 18:26 from 10.255.199.1] * (100/-) [i]
       Type: BGP unicast univ
BGP.origin: IGP
BGP.as_path:
BGP.next_hop: 10.255.199.1
BGP.local_pref: 100

Bird has marked the route as unreachable. Obviously the route is
not unreachable, because it is the next hop (quagga is doing
next-hop-self).

The only reason for this I can see is because bird is determining
reachability on the basis of its FIB only (as opposed to the kernel
routing table) and there is no FIB entry for 10.255.199.0/24
(from show route).

How are such interface routes meant to get into the FIB?

Bird config:

protocol kernel {
persist; # Don't remove routes on bird shutdown scan time 10; # Scan kernel routing table every 20 seconds
       import all;
       export all;
learn; # Learn all alien routes from the kernel
}

# This pseudo-protocol watches all interface up/down events.
protocol device {
scan time 10; # Scan interfaces every 10 seconds
}

protocol bgp MyBGP {
        local as 65000;
        neighbor 10.255.199.1 as 65000;
        export filter {
               accept;
        };
        import filter {
               accept;
        };
        next hop self;
        import all;
         export all;
}


Quagga config:

router bgp 65000
bgp router-id 10.255.199.1
neighbor 10.255.199.3 remote-as 65000
neighbor 10.255.199.3 next-hop-self
neighbor 10.255.199.3 default-originate
neighbor 10.255.199.3 soft-reconfiguration inbound
