Description

Running /etc/rc.newipsecdns breaks FRR BGP on VTI interfaces

Create a simple FRR BGP session across an IPsec VTI

Announce a route to the other side. 172.25.233.0/24 is our subject route.

Run /etc/rc.newipsecdns on the side receiving the route. The routes are still received but are marked inactive and are not installed in the routing table.

Restarting FRR seems to clear it.

Actions #1

Confirmed same behavior on latest 2.5.0 snapshots.

Actions #2

Updated by Jim Pingle over 5 years ago

  • Project changed from pfSense Packages to pfSense
  • Category changed from FRR to IPsec
  • Target version set to 2.5.0

Not an FRR issue. The IPsec interface goes away and comes back, and it never latches back on. FRR needs to be restarted after the IPsec interface comes back, so it's only fixable in base as far as I can see. Unless it's an upstream FRR bug.

Actions #4

Second solution is better but still not ideal. Rather than restarting all packages, when IPsec is reloaded via rc.newipsecdns FRR will shut/no shut all VTI interfaces which seems to make it latch back on OK. Also requires FRR 0.6.3 or later.

Actions #5

Updated by Jim Pingle about 5 years ago

  • Target version changed from 2.5.0 to 2.4.5
Actions #6

Updated by Chris Linstruth about 5 years ago

In addition to using this patch on a couple of customer sites with success, I just specifically tested this again between 2.4.4-p3 and 2.4.5. The 2.4.4-p3 side exhibits the issue, the 2.4.5 side brings the routes back up on the VTI interface. Looks good.
