I’ve added protocols->static for routing all 0.0.0.0/0 via my def gateway, yet it also doesn’t work, for sure. WTH I’m doing wrong, help please?
There is no “system default-gateway” command anymore. It was a bad idea from the start. We’ve made a script that automatically converts it to a normal “protocols static route” syntax.
As of routes not working, you might have run into ⚓ T1218 Static routes not being applied in 1.2 Release
We are still trying to track down its root causes, so any feedback is valuable. If possible, please paste your complete config (anonymyzed).
Well. Fixed my static route from table x (not clear why exactly I’ve used such variant being highly confused by def gateway missing) to just regular static route
Frankly, not clear why gateway-address such a bad idea even if it is just a wrapper for a “static route” setting. As for me it was much easier to check it out, and it comes over even from juniper os, not only vyatta…
That script, does it work for old version config conversions?
Glad you’ve fixed it. The “protocols static table $num …” is for policy-based routing, routes from non-default tables are only applied to traffic processed by PBR rules.
not clear why gateway-address such a bad idea
Well, three main reasons:
It makes old Occam reach for his razor
It’s a common gotcha when reviewing someone else’s config (where’s that route coming from?)
Setting both a route in protocols and system default-gateway creates unintentional ECMP, and that’s the kind of action at a distance we try to avoid
Also, having settings of the same application (FRR) in multiple config subtrees is a maintenance headache and it complicates script ordering.
Yes, the script checks if a config has the system default-gateway and converts it to a route in “protocols static”. If you ever run into problems with it, please create a bug report.
