[09:23] <kjetilho> hmm.  how do I specify a route with a target device rather than a via value?  this is what I need to express in Netplan: `ip -6 route add 2a02:c0:1002:10::/64 dev eth1 table 1`
[09:26] <kjetilho> "The routes block defines standard static routes for an interface.
[09:26] <kjetilho> At least to and via must be specified."
[09:31] <schopin> kjetilho: hi :-). Just to clarify, you want to move the routes of a subnetwork that's directly reachable from eth1 into rt 1, right?
[09:32] <kjetilho> well, I need to duplicate that route due to a routing policy which switches routing table for traffic from 2a02:c0:1002:10::/64
[09:33] <kjetilho> without it, traffic to the local network is routed at the default gateway, which just sends a redirect
[09:33] <kjetilho> (the default gateway in table 1)
[09:34] <schopin> kjetilho: I think https://bugs.launchpad.net/netplan/+bug/1789862 would solve this as well.
[09:35] <kjetilho> seems like my exact problem, yes
[09:37] <kjetilho> hmm, what does that PR do, though?  I am running 0.102-0ubuntu1~20.04.2
[09:38] <schopin> OK, so following the various links, it seems `to: 2a02:c0:1002:10::/64 \n scope: link \n table: 1` *should* do what you request.
[09:39] <kjetilho> yes, just tried a debug run, it is accepted
[09:39] <kjetilho> must pick up some nerve to try it.  hang on ;)
[09:40] <kjetilho> looks good!
[09:40] <schopin> kjetilho: can you confirm that the table is taken into account?
[09:40] <schopin> (the reason why the above bug remained open)
[09:41] <kjetilho> yes, it is added to the correct table
[09:41] <kjetilho> so there are two PRs on the horizon: one for the reference manual, and one for the error message
[09:42] <kjetilho> "Error in network definition: unicast route must include both a 'to' and 'via' IP"
[09:42] <schopin> Looking forward to it :)
[09:42] <kjetilho> do you have the git-links handy perchance?
[09:43] <kjetilho> duh
[09:43] <kjetilho> I have it on my screen since I read the PR :)
[09:45] <kjetilho> hrm.  put a "global" into that error message?  the hint to use a different scope may be a bit subtle, but ...
[09:47] <schopin> We can always nitpick on the wording on the PR itself ;-)
[09:47] <kjetilho> yep
[09:47] <schopin> as for the link, for future reference you'll find one in the channel description.
[09:48] <kjetilho> haha
[09:48] <kjetilho> *really* staring me in the eye
[09:48] <schopin> slyon: (or whoever is +o here) would it be possible to add a link to the lp bug tracker as well?
[09:53] <slyon> schopin: yes, that's a good idea!
[09:55] <schopin> kjetilho: for the record, which backend are you using?
