Hi, I manage to configure, establish a session and announce my prefix with
this configuration:
---
log "/var/log/bird.log" all;
router id <ipv4>;
define MYAS = 1234;
protocol device {
scan time 10;
}
protocol direct {
ipv6;
interface "dummy*";
}
# templates
template bgp uplink {
local as MYAS;
ipv6 {
import all;
export filter {
if net = <ipv6::/44> then accept;
reject;
};
};
graceful restart on;
}
protocol bgp SBv6 from uplink {
neighbor <ipv6> a as 12345;
source address <myipvy>;
}
---
For testing I added to eth0 an IPv6 address alias belonging to my /44
segment, I was available to ping and so far all good, but now something
that I am struggling with (probably something very basic) is how to do IP
address assignment to my network from the router?
This router is a VM but I would like to know how I could use a /64 subnet
and assign IP's to my home network.
Probably I am following the wrong approach, but I wanted to give a try
creating an internal router (iBGP) and announce only the /64 subnet, I am
using wireguard to connect the VM's but can't find a way to ping any IP I
assign in this VM, something like this
(internet)

( VM eBGP/44 ) <--- Wireguard ---> (VM iBGP/64) <----> HOME/LAN (/64)
this is my config:
log "/var/log/bird.log" all;
router id <ipv4>;
define MYAS = 1234;
protocol device {
scan time 10;
}
protocol direct {
ipv6;
interface "dummy*";
}
template bgp iAS {
local as MYAS;
ipv6 {
import all;
export filter {
if net = <ipv6::/64> then accept;
reject;
};
};
graceful restart on;
}
protocol bgp iBGP from iAS {
debug all;
neighbor <peer wireguard ipv6>%wg0 as MYAS;
direct;
source address <wireguard ipv6>;
}
The session gets established but only from the eBGP I can ping the iBGP but
not the other way around or from other hosts.
Probably I may be over-complicating things, and I could do everything from
the main router but is that the case, still wondering how can I then start
to assign IPv6's address to my home network? should I configure something
like radvd so that my devices can claim an IPv6?
I am doing this just for learning purposes, so if there is a better way or
practice to follow let me know.
regards.
