Thanks for the clarification! I confirmed that I see the specified protocols using `show protocol all`:
With ipv4 and ipv6 tables added explicitly: ... [preceding lines] ... Local capabilities Multiprotocol AF announced: ipv4 vpn4-mpls ipv6 ... [following lines] ... With just the vpn4 mpls table: ... [preceding lines] ... Local capabilities Multiprotocol AF announced: vpn4-mpls ... [following lines] ... I'll follow up with the bird-lg contributors, it's possible that it's not ready to handle the output from BIRD 2 for multi-table protocols.
