VRF-aware config-management

Hello there,

is there the way to implement VRF-aware config-archive?

I tried to set source address for config-archive to address of interface in VRF but I’m getting the error:

[Errno 99] Cannot assign requested address
run-parts: /etc/commit/post-hooks.d/02vyos-commit-archive exited with return code 1

I’m using latest rolling version for now:

Could you share the full configuration , is difficult to understand what is going on .

Sure, here it goes (it’s lab environment but with some real IPs so I changed them):

interfaces {
    ethernet eth0 {
        address "192.168.1.170/24"
        description "--- BVPN ---"
        hw-id "50:00:00:07:00:00"
        vrf "BVPN"
    }
    ethernet eth1 {
        address "X.X.X.A/29"
        description "--- ID ---"
        hw-id "50:00:00:07:00:01"
    }
    ethernet eth2 {
        hw-id "50:00:00:07:00:02"
    }
    ethernet eth3 {
        hw-id "50:00:00:07:00:03"
    }
    loopback lo {
    }
    tunnel tun0 {
        address "10.200.200.17/30"
        encapsulation "gre"
        remote "X.X.X.B"
        source-interface "eth1"
        vrf "BVPN"
    }
}

                                inbound
                            }
                        }
                    }
                    remote-as "65005"
                }
                system-as "65077"
            }
            static {
                route 0.0.0.0/0 {
                    next-hop 192.168.1.1 {
                    }
                }
            }
        }
        table "100"
    }
}

I do understand that I can make archive work using route leaking, but that’s not the best design IMO.
