Hi, I'm on Bird 2.0.8 The background is that I'm trying to configure link local BGP sessions towards Juniper switches. I'm trying to follow the the documentation that indicates that it should be possible to define a interface.
https://bird.network.cz/?get_doc&v=20&f=bird-6.html#ss6.4 interface *string* Define interface we should use for link-local BGP IPv6 sessions. Interface can also be specified as a part of neighbor address (e.g., neighbor fe80::1234%eth0 as 65000;). The option may also be used for non link-local sessions when it is necessary to explicitly specify an interface, but only for direct (not multihop) sessions Here is my config: template bgp ebgp_client_v6 { local as system_as_number; ipv6 { import all; export filter export_bgp; }; bfd graceful; connect delay time 1; connect retry time 5; error wait time 1,5; error forget time 10; }; protocol bgp auto_disc_2 from ebgp_client_v6 { interface "enp67s0f0np0"; }; and from my understanding it should be enough with just that. But I do get the error: /etc/bird/peers.conf:53:1 Neighbor must be configured I've also tried to add "neighbor as asn_of_neighbor;" To the config with the same results. Any help would be much appreciated! Br, Sander
