Subject: [IPv6] kernel refuses to install blackhole routes without dev lo
Date: Tue, 25 Aug 2009 23:35:46 -0300 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20090826023546.GC14047@khazad-dum.debian.net> (raw)
(Please keep me in the CC, I am not subscribed to netdev)
To make a long history short, and to get right to the point:
# ip -6 route add blackhole ::/0
RTNETLINK answers: No such device
while
# ip -6 route add blackhole ::/0 dev lo
and
# ip route add unreachable ::/0
works just fine. Looks like a bug, and it annoys the heck out of people
trying to use the standard way of null-routing on Quagga :-)
