Deleting bridge before gre-bridge tunnel causes problems

Add a bridge:

admin@route-extern# set interfaces bridge br1 description "Test Bridge"
[edit]
admin@route-extern# commit

Create a tunnel

set interfaces tunnel tun0 address '172.24.242.2/30'
set interfaces tunnel tun0 encapsulation 'gre-bridge'
set interfaces tunnel tun0 firewall local name 'WAN-LOCAL'
set interfaces tunnel tun0 local-ip '10.44.44.44'
set interfaces tunnel tun0 multicast 'disable'
set interfaces tunnel tun0 remote-ip '44.44.44.44'
set interfaces tunnel tun0 parameters ip bridge-group bridge br1
admin@route-extern# commit
[edit]

Delete the Bridge

admin@route-extern# delete interfaces bridge br1
[edit]
admin@route-extern# commit

Basically try and do anything with the tunnel. Deleting is a good way to trigger it.

admin@route-extern# delete interfaces tunnel tun0
[edit]
admin@route-extern# commit
[ interfaces tunnel tun0 parameters ip bridge-group bridge br1 ]
bridge br1 does not exist!

delete [ interfaces tunnel tun0 ] failed
Commit failed
[edit]

Try to re-add the bridge

admin@route-extern# set interfaces bridge br1 description "Test"
[edit]
admin@route-extern# commit

And try to commit

[ interfaces tunnel tun0 parameters ip bridge-group bridge br1 ]
device tun0 is not a slave of br1

But it doesn’t exist anymore

admin@route-extern# delete interfaces tunnel tun0 parameters ip bridge-group bridge br1

  Nothing to delete (the specified value does not exist)

End result is you can’t commit. I had to hand edit the config.boot and reboot.

The real issue is that the safeguard against deleting a bridge that still has member interfaces is not working. I’m looking into it.

Here’s the task where you can track the progress: ⚓ T898 Safeguard against removing a bridge interfaces that still has members is not working

Ok, you have actually uncovered two bugs in one move!
The first bug is that deleting a bridge that still has active members should not have been allowed to begin with.

But there is another bug that prevents you from deleting a bridge and removing a tunnel from it at the same time with the same symptoms. ⚓ T900 Tunnels bridge-groups cannot be removed together with the bridge

It actually get worse and there are two more bugs there: tunnels cannot be moved from one bridge to another, and STP cost and priority options are non-functional, but that’s for later.

Fixes for both will be included in the rc3 (planned for Monday). Thanks for finding it!

Thanks for the fixes. Glad it was simple to sort out
