PPPoE IA-PD doesn't work in VRF

Description

  • My ISP provides static IPv4 and /56 IPv6 subnet via DSL/PPPoE
  • I was able to set up PPPoE connection with the provider and it works fine
  • However, if I move the pppoe interface to VRF, I get IPv4 and IPv6 addresses but not /56 subnet.
  • I tried to add only pppoe interface to vrf as well as all underlying interfaces (makes difference on Juniper) with no avail

Here is the configuration without VRF:

r2# show interfaces
 ethernet eth1 {
     description WAN
     duplex auto
     hw-id 00:0d:b9:44:54:31
     speed auto
     vif 35 {
         description DSL-1
     }
 }
 pppoe pppoe0 {
     authentication {
         password <password>
         user <user>
     }
     default-route auto
     description PPPOE-1
     dhcpv6-options {
         pd 0 {
             length 56
         }
         rapid-commit
     }
     ipv6 {
         address {
             autoconf
         }
     }
     source-interface eth1.35
 }
 dummy dum0 {
     address 2606:6d00:19f:a800::2/128
     address 2606:6d00:19f:a800::bbbb/128
 }

and output of dhcp6c:

As you can see from the log, the /56 subnet is allocated and I can confirm that it is working since I have a dummy interface with addresses on this net and I can ping from it.

And here is the same with pppoe interface in VRF:

r2# show vrf
 name red {
     table 200
 }

r2# show interfaces
 ethernet eth1 {
     description WAN
     duplex auto

     speed auto
     vif 35 {
         description DSL-1
         vrf red
     }
     vrf red
 }
 pppoe pppoe0 {
     authentication {
         password <password>
         user <user>
     }
     default-route auto
     description PPPOE-1

         }
         rapid-commit
     }
     ipv6 {
         address {
             autoconf

     }

 dummy dum0 {

     address 2606:6d00:19f:a800::bbbb/128
     vrf red
 }

and the corresponding dhcpv6c log:

So, PPPoE connection works but /56 subnet seems not allocated.

BTW, it would be nice to report any IA-PD allocations in the output of show interfaces... but this is a topic for a separate ticket.

This is an interesting use-case and will not work as of now.

Reason is that the PPPoE interface runs in vrf "red" and dhcpc6 which is the userspace helper for PD will run in vrf "default" and thus has no way in reaching the ISP.

Hi all,

I stump across this, because I had something similar in my testing with PPPoE in VRF and also PD to a different interface which is in the same VRF

Here is my config for example :

interfaces {
    ethernet eth0 {
        address dhcp
        description MGMT
        hw-id 00:0c:29:f0:be:4c
        vrf MGMT
    }
    ethernet eth1 {
        hw-id 00:0c:29:f0:be:56
        vrf PPPoE
    }
    ethernet eth2 {
        hw-id 00:0c:29:f0:be:60
    }
    ethernet eth3 {
        hw-id 00:0c:29:f0:be:6a
    }
    ethernet eth4 {
        hw-id 00:0c:29:f0:be:74
        vrf PPPoE
    }
    loopback lo {
    }
    pppoe pppoe0 {
        authentication {
            password ****************
            user [email protected]
        }
        description "VyOS interface for testing pppoe session"
        dhcpv6-options {
            pd 0 {
                interface eth4 {
                    address 1
                    sla-id 0
                }
            }
        }
        ip {
            adjust-mss clamp-mss-to-pmtu
        }
        ipv6 {

            facility protocols {
                level debug
            }
        }
    }
}
vrf {
    name IPoE {
        table 300
    }
    name MGMT {
        table 100
    }
    name PPPoE {
        table 200
    }
}

In this situation I'm only able to get an IPv6 on the pppoe interface but nothing is happening for the eth4 PD.

What I discovered during some testing / experiment is that, as @c-po said before, the helper is running in the default namespace, but if I'm trying to execute the same command of the helper with some additional commands in help, like this :

ip vrf exec PPPoE /usr/sbin/dhcp6c -f -D -k /run/dhcp6c/dhcp6c.pppoe0.sock -c /run/dhcp6c/dhcp6c.pppoe0.conf -p /run/dhcp6c/dhcp6c.pppoe0.pid pppoe0

I'm able to achieve the result expected as documented in the debug logging :

Hoping that these information will get some hints on how to fix or to finally have this feature also working out of the default namespace.
