Hi Yes, it is something that could already be done using the IPv6-scope syntax, but that was both a hack (outside IPv6 link-local) and was limited in allowed characters in interface name. Now you can use: route 192.0.2.1/32 via 100.64.0.1 dev "eth0" onlink; https://bird.network.cz/?get_doc&v=20&f=bird-6.html#static-route-dev For details, see this thread: http://trubka.network.cz/pipermail/bird-users/2024-February/017411.html > By the way, the following yields a crash upon startup of Bird 2.14 (perhaps > in 2.15 also, I will check): > > protocol static s1 { > ipv4 { export all; }; > route 192.0.2.1/32 via 192.168.10.2%e0 *onlink bfd*; > } Will check that -- Elen sila lumenn' omentielvo Ondrej 'Santiago' Zajicek (email: santi...@crfreenet.org) "To err is human -- to blame it on a computer is even more so."
