Unable to add WireGuard interface to OSPFv3 area.

[giga1699]

I am unable to add a WireGuard interface to a OSPFv3 area. The error message states that no link-local address is assigned, as well as wg0 not matching any known interface name type, as shown below.

ubnt@RTR# set protocols ospfv3 area 0.0.0.0 interface wg0

Seems Ubiquiti also has quite the history of issues with OSPFv3.

Some reference links I've found, which I am showing similar issues over GRE and WireGuard.

Found another Ubiquiti posting specifically about WireGuard, and OSPFv3 not creating a neighbor relationship despite Hellos being seen via tcpdump.

The working solution is to use Bird for ospfv3, the interface types supported for the included OSPF daemon, does not have the template for wireguard interface type so that's why it complains.

The error seems to come from: https://github.com/remfalc/vyt-vyatta-cfg-system/blob/master/scripts/vyatta-interfaces.pl, which is on the router at /opt/vyatta/sbin/vyatta-interfaces.pl
