New to routing: radv Network not found?

[Alessandro Vesely]

Hi all,

I installed bird2 (Debian stock) and configured radv, following the documented example.

When bird it started, it said:
Apr 24 12:36:55 31 north bird: static1: Channel ipv6 connected to table radv_routes
Apr 24 12:36:55 31 north bird: static1: Initializing
Apr 24 12:36:55 31 north bird: radv1: Channel ipv6 connected to table radv_routes
Apr 24 12:36:55 31 north bird: radv1: Initializing
Apr 24 12:36:55 31 north bird: static1: Starting
Apr 24 12:36:55 31 north bird: static1: State changed to up
Apr 24 12:36:55 31 north bird: radv1: Starting
Apr 24 12:36:55 31 north bird: radv1: State changed to up
Apr 24 12:36:55 30 north bird: Started
Apr 24 12:36:55 31 north bird: radv1 < interface eth2r created
Apr 24 12:36:55 31 north bird: radv1 < interface ppp0 created


No more logging.  After some hours I get this:
541-north:bird# birdc show route for 2a02:29e1:300:e922::2
BIRD 2.0.7 ready.
Network not found

What does it mean?  I configured static routes in the kernel.  Perhaps I should only configure them in bird.
542-north:bird# ip route get 2a02:29e1:300:e922::2
2a02:29e1:300:e922::2 from :: dev eth2r proto kernel src 2a02:29e1:300:e922::1 metric 256 pref medium

My ISP assigned to me 2a02:29e1:300:e900/56.  I have a few addresses assigned locally, and 2a02:29e1:300:e922::1 to the lan interface (eth2r), reserving that /64 for lan hosts.  A neighboring PC has 2a02:29e1:300:e922::2/64.

External routing doesn't work, but this is another question (also asked on stackexchange: https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/742826/ipv6-over-pppoe)

There must be something wrong in the config, which I don't know how to fix.  I paste it below.  What did I get wrong?

TIA
Ale
