Pseudo-ethernet, not behaving like ethernet

General questions
1

Hi there,

I’m trying to get rid of most of my NAT as it’s not needed.

My traffic is hitting 192.168.3.1, which is the VyOS, from EdgeOS side but is not getting routed out of peth0 for whatever reason and if I try to use eth0 as the outgoing one, it will work.

Config for vyOS: PrivateBin

Related routing table:

$ show ip route table 26
Codes: K - kernel route, C - connected, S - static, R - >RIP,
O - OSPF, I - IS-IS, B - BGP, E - EIGRP, N - NHRP,
T - Table, v - VNC, V - VNC-Direct, A - Babel, D - SHARP,
F - PBR, f - OpenFabric,
-selected route, * - FIB route, q - queued route, r - rejected route
VRF default table 26:
S 0.0.0.0/0 [1/0] via xxxx.xxxx.64.65, peth0 inactive, 00:33:24

Hi @samip537, this is very strange why this route is inactive. Can you reach some host via peth0? I can’t reproduce this in my LAB with latest rolling version.
PS:/ maybe typo in addresses/mask, but I can’t see this for masking reason.

Hi,

I don’t know why but for some reason I had to re-create the interface, and mess with routing tables to get it active first. Then I had forgot some PBR rules, after which it started to work like it should have.

P.S It indeed did not work to ping out of the interface.
P.P.S I was unable to change the pseudo-ethernet mode without re-creating it, is that intended behavior?

Current working configuration: PrivateBin

Hi, if you receive a message about it, that yes.

Is this intended?

Hi @samip537, exactly no. Please, create a bug report on https://phabricator.vyos.net/ and describe reproducing steps.
