Dear Anand,
the problem is caused by the fact that device routes are handled
differently than the others. Protocol 'kernel' ignores those routes
and they are generated by protocol 'direct'. And this routing
protocol is connected to routing table 'master' in you example. So
this route is not in routing table 'anycast'. You should see it byt
'show route table master' and not 'show route table anycast'. There
are more ways how to fix this:
1) Use only routing table 'master'. Is there a reason for using
special routing table in this case?
2) Generate this routing in routing table 'anycast'
a) You can either attach protocol 'direct' to table 'anycast':
protocol direct {
interface "dummy0*";
table anycast;
}
b) Or you can export this route using protocol 'pipe'
protocol pipe { # The Pipe
table master;
peer table anycast;
export filter as112;
};
c) Or you can generate it using protocol 'static':
protocol static {
route 192.75.48.0/24 via "dummy0";
table anycast;
};
There is even more ways of course. But I hope this is gonna help you.
