IPv6 multiple routing tables - all routes were added to main table

IPv6 multiple routing tables - all routes were added to main table

[Asi Lichtenstein]

Hi there,

I'm using an old kernel 2.6.16 where i applied this patchset:
http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.network/41149/focus=41150

i was able to create new table but all routes I've added to specific
table were added to main table.

please see output:

# ip -6 rule
0:      from all vrf 0 lookup local
16383:  from all iif eth0 vrf 0 lookup 3
16383:  from all iif eth1 vrf 0 lookup 5
32766:  from all vrf 0 lookup main

Does anyone know if adding route to specific table should be working
after applying this patch?

No idea if your patches will work on that ancient kernel.  Did you update
your ip tool as well?

try:  ip route show table X

and show us what commands you used to try to add the routes to a specific
table?

Thanks,
Ben
