Firewall groups are created in firewall section, and this groups can also be used in policy, nat and conntrack ignore rules.
But when group is being used in those section, and then the group is deleted from firewall configuration, commit is accepted. Feature still works but on next reboot configuration will not be able to be load succesfully.
Simple steps to reproduce bug with NAT:
vyos@default-log# run show config comm | grep "fire\|nat" set firewall group address-group AG address '198.51.100.5' set nat source rule 10 outbound-interface 'eth0' set nat source rule 10 source group address-group 'AG' set nat source rule 10 translation address 'masquerade' [edit] vyos@default-log# del firewall [edit] vyos@default-log# commit [edit] vyos@default-log# save [edit] vyos@default-log#
After rebooting, NAT config breaks and is not present.
