Hi

The IP%iface syntax in BIRD is a hack that uses symbol syntax for iface name,
which allows just alphanumeric chars and underscore.

You could try fe80::xxx%'eth1.3330'

Well, it is unrelated to VLAN iface, it is problem with dot in name.

Also note that it is possible to use

  vconfig set_name_type VLAN_PLUS_VID_NO_PAD

to have VLAN ifaces named vlanXX, or VLAN can be created with any name using
'ip' tool instead of 'vconfig' tool.
