Support for nexthop-vrf on static routes in the VyOS CLI

[Apachez]

VyoS uses VRF-lite meaning it acts on the interface addresses along with a routing table connected to each interface. That is “proper” namespace separation is missing (if you compare VRF with how for example Arista EOS is doing this).

So Im thinking wouldnt something like this then work for you?

eth0: vrf: RED: 10.0.0.1/24
eth1: vrf: BLUE: 10.1.0.1/24

set vrf name RED protocols static route x.x.x.x/yy interface eth1

or:

set vrf name RED protocols static route x.x.x.x/yy next-hop <ip of BLUE>

Eventually you might need to add:

set vrf bind-to-all

At least in 2021 the syntax of defining a next-hop being vrf seems to have existed - dunno what happend to that:

VRF Static Route Leaking

Hello, I’ve been trying to get VRF route leaking via static routes to work for the past few days to no avail, even following 1:1 the provided documentation. My goal is to leak a default route from the global table to a couple of VRFs, so that they can reach the internet. I’m unable to even get 2 VRFs to talk to each other with a simple static route leak. VRF A: 172.16.9.1/24 (eth0) set vrf name A protocols static route 192.168.9.0/24 interface eth1 vrf B VRF B: 192.168.9.1/24 (eth1) set …
