Static IPv6 Route Tags Missing
Closed, ResolvedPublicFEATURE REQUEST

Description

It appears that while VyOS 1.4 supports static IPv6 route tags, VyOS 1.3 does not:

trae@cr01a-vyos# set protocols static route6 2607:f0d0:1234:123::/64 blackhole 
Possible completions:
   distance     Distance value for this route

      
[edit]
trae@cr01a-vyos# set protocols static route6 2607:f0d0:1234:123::/64 blackhole tag 86

  Configuration path: protocols static route6 2607:f0d0:1234:123::/64 blackhole [tag] is not valid
  Set failed

FRR itself appears to support it:

cr01b-vyos(config)# ipv6 route 2607:f0d0:1234:123::/64 Null0 tag 
  (1-4294967295)  Tag value

This prevents the use of static IPv6 routes for remotely triggered black holes. Can this functionality be added to 1.3?
