vyatta-vrf

This is a fork of https://github.com/upa/vrf-vyatta for use with EdgeOS.

This requires EdgeOS 1.4.0 or newer due to kernel and iproute2 package dependancies.

This also requires installation of a multi vtysh patched quagga.

Quagga setup

sudo dpkg -i vyatta-quagga_0.99.20.1-ubnt7_mips-vtysh.deb

Configuration example

Content of VRF is linux network namespace. When new namespace is created, a quagga instance is executed on the namespace.

Configuration exapmle.

 vyatta@vrf1# show vrf 
  vrf hoge {
      interfaces {
          ethernet eth1 {
              vif 10 {
                  address 10.10.10.1/24
                  address 2001:db8::1/64
              }
          }
      }
      protocols {
          ospf {
              area 0.0.0.0 {
                  network 10.10.10.0/24
              }
          }
          ospfv3 {
              area 0.0.0.0 {
                  interface eth1.10
              }
          }
          static {
              route 192.168.0.0/24 {
                  next-hop 10.10.10.2 {
                  }
              }
          }
      }

And, veth type interface pairs between two VRFs (including default VRF) is supported. You can create veth pair under configure mode interfaces veth-pair vethX. a veth interface can be attached under VRF.

Configuration exapmle.

 vyatta@vrf1# show 
  interfaces {
      veth-pair veth0 {
          veth veth0a {
              vrf hoge
          }
      }
      vethernet veth0b {
          address 172.16.0.1/24
      }
  }
  protocols {
      ospf {
          area 0.0.0.0 {
              network 172.16.0.0/24
          }
      }
  }
  vrf hoge {
      interfaces {
          vethernet veth0a {
              address 172.16.0.2/24
          }
      }
      protocols {
          ospf {
              area 0.0.0.0 {
                  network 172.16.0.0/24
              }
          }
      }

vethXa and vethXb are auto generated when veth-pair vethX is defiend.

TODO

• Add veth to Interface.pm
• Make vrf policies update with main policy set (making use of xvyatta-multi-vtysh.pl say)
• bgpd
• Allowing raw ethN interfaces to be passed into a vrf (a quick test seems to indicate this should be possible)
• Other virtual interfaces in vrfs
