Description

In VyOS, when attempting to assign both a static and DHCP address to an interface, the following is received:

vyos@cr01a-vyos# set interfaces bonding bond0 vif 20 address 192.168.100.2/24
[edit]
vyos@cr01a-vyos# show interfaces bonding bond0 vif 20

[ interfaces bonding bond0 vif 20 address 192.168.100.2/24 ]


[ interfaces bonding bond0 ]
Can't configure both static IPv4 and DHCP address on the same interface

[[interfaces bonding bond0]] failed
Commit failed

From a technical standpoint, this is entirely possible:

vyos@cr01a-vyos# sudo ip a add 192.168.100.2/24 dev bond0.20 
[edit]
vyos@cr01a-vyos# ping 192.168.100.1

Why is this prevented in the configuration? Can we remove the error and allow it?

This is a old quirk that's long known (probably was already reported) and
can be worked around by adding a pseudo-ethernet interface with the DHCP
client on it.

Shouldn't it be fixed at some point though? I mean is there a reason this should stay something that has to be worked around?

For 1.4 it is impossible to set both dhcp + static in one commit.

One issue with static + dhcp on one interface at the same time.
After renew, the static address 192.168.122.11 is disappears
To reproduce:

vyos@r11-roll:~$ show conf com | match eth0
set interfaces ethernet eth0 address '192.168.122.11/24'
set interfaces ethernet eth0 address 'dhcp'

Renew dhcp:

vyos@r11-roll:~$ renew dhcp interface eth0

Static address not in the system:

vyos@r11-roll:~$ show int
