FRR: Add interface name for static routes
Closed, ResolvedPublicFEATURE REQUEST
Actions

Description

In FFRouting we have ability to set interface for static routes, for example:

ip route 10.170.16.0/24 10.170.16.1 eth1

But in VyOS CLI this function is not exist, so we can configure only one of two type of static routes - interface OR next-hop:

ip route 10.170.16.0/24 10.170.16.1
OR
ip route 10.170.16.0/24 eth1

This option is necessary for fully-functional usage of VyOS on some of Cloud providers.

So, we need to add something like:

vyos@test# set protocols static route 10.170.16.0/24 next-hop 10.170.16.1 
Possible completions:
   disable      Disable IPv4 next-hop static route
   distance     Distance value for this route
   next-hop-interface     Next-hop interface

vyos@test# set protocols static route 10.170.16.0/24 next-hop 10.170.16.1 next-hop-interface eth1

Why not use a combination of two?

set protocols static interface-route 1.2.3.4/32 next-hop-interface eth0
set protocols static route 0.0.0.0/0 next-hop 1.2.3.4 distance 10

So default traffic is sent via 1.2.3.4 and it is reached via eth0

Unfortunately, this works only for default route, but not for any other.

@zsdc How quickly needs that to be resolved? It requires quite some work on the backend for the cli.

@zsdc would the below help you?

set protocols static route 10.100.100.1/32 next-hop 10.1.1.1 distance '100'
set protocols static route 10.100.100.1/32 next-hop 10.1.1.1 next-hop-interface 'lo'

@zsdc it's in http://dev.packages.vyos.net/repositories/current/vyos/pool/main/v/vyatta-cfg-quagga/vyatta-cfg-quagga_0.19.1+vyos2+current8_all.deb, but you better wait until the rolling release is working again, there were some frr dependencies added, which makes the packge not backward compatible. If you need it urgently, I can compile you a working one which works on the older releases (it's really only a dependency issue). So far I have it only implemented for IPv4 routes, let me know if you need it for route6 as well. I planned to start with the backend rewrite for frr asap.

@syncer @zsdc tested the rolling from tonight, works as far as i can tell, however it looks like 'delete protocols static ip' doesn't work. Not sure if it was always broken or not, I have a look into it asap.

hagbard added a comment.Mar 20 2019, 5:20 PM

Issue verified, new bug ticket or shall we use this one to resolve the issue. Looks like it's been broken for a while.

@hagbard solution works. Please, add it also to the stable branch and to the set protocols static table section.

I found an issue which prevents the implementation:

set protocols static route 10.100.100.1/32 next-hop 10.100.1.1 next-hop-interface eth2
set protocols static route 10.100.100.1/32 next-hop 10.100.1.1 next-hop-interface eth1

protocols {

static {
    route 10.100.100.1/32 {
        next-hop 10.100.1.1 {
            next-hop-interface eth1
        }
    }
}

}

That brings the cli line with frr out of sync:

ip route 10.100.100.1/32 10.100.1.1 eth2
ip route 10.100.100.1/32 10.100.1.1 eth1
!
line vty
!
end

It would require to know the old value and remove it. I think this has to wait until T1288 has been accomplished as a PoC. Furthermore I think it will also require different syntax, distance and the next-hop interface need to be in a tag node together.

https://github.com/vyos/vyatta-cfg-quagga/commit/468e19f564023771d774ee32ccffc4ccffed897c should fix the discovered issue. It can be imported to table as well.

@zsdc Is that even require in table, doesn't the below work?

WYSIWYG - please note that you can't set multiple route distances on the same path with different next-hop-ifnterfacess, that's the only limitation right now, the rest should work as you requested, if not let me know.
