Allow route-map 'set src' to reference both IPv4 and IPv6
Open, NormalPublicENHANCEMENT

Description

Hi,

Current template does not allow setting an IPv6 address as the preferred source address in a route-map rule. FRRouting natively supports this so it was trivial to change the restriction of the existing item in VyOS. Opening the request so that it can be tied to a proposed patch.

Regards

I've attached a simple patch to allow 'set src' to be either IPv4 or IPv6 addresses.

Any chance of motion on this?

If I remember this change was accepted in to VyOS 1.3. There is confirmation of a configuration where we set IPv4 and IPv6 preferred source in the following thread:

https://vyos.dev/T5085 did the changes for OSPF, but we need this for BGP too
