vyOS 1.4 - Unable to apply routing changes when "protocols mpls interface 'xxx'" applied

When the command ''set protocols mpls interface ‘xxx’" is configured and committed, it is applied correctly. Any subsequent commands committed in later commits then error out with.

vyos.frr.ConfigurationNotValid: Config commit retry counter (5) exceeded

The “workaround” is:

  1. delete the line delete protocols mpls interface 'xxx'
  2. commit
  3. then add the required configuration
  4. commit
  5. add the line set protocols mpls interface 'xxx'
  6. commit

It seems a mismatch between what FRR is reporting back as the current configuration and vyOS using that same configuration to “reapply” with the merged new commits.

Full debug output, enabling FRR debugging shows…

I also have found that there is an issue with rebooting a saved config that contains the same command, which causes sections of configuration not to be applied on boot.

A saved version of the boot file (/config/config.boot) with the mpls\interface eth3 entry fails and then the subsequent config is not applied. The broken version of the file (only relevant section shown) follows:

 mpls {
        interface eth3
        ldp {
            discovery {
                transport-ipv4-address 10.255.254.2
            }
            export {
                ipv4 {
                    explicit-null
                }
            }
            interface eth3
            router-id 10.255.254.2
        }
    }
    ospf {
        area 0 {
            network 10.180.3.0/24
            network 10.255.254.2/32
        }
        parameters {
            abr-type cisco
            router-id 10.255.254.2
        }
    }

If I remove the line under mpls interface eth3, save the file then reboot, upon restarting the configuration is applied in full successfully. The good boot file is as follows (only relevant section shown) :


 mpls {
        ldp {
            discovery {
                transport-ipv4-address 10.255.254.2
            }
            export {
                ipv4 {
                    explicit-null
                }
            }
            interface eth3
            router-id 10.255.254.2
        }
    }
    ospf {
        area 0 {
            network 10.180.3.0/24
            network 10.255.254.2/32
        }
        parameters {
            abr-type cisco
            router-id 10.255.254.2
        }
    }

After a reboot the config is applied in full successfully and the ‘running config’ looks like (relevent section only):

 mpls {
        interface eth3
        ldp {
            discovery {
                transport-ipv4-address 10.255.254.2
            }
            export {
                ipv4 {
                    explicit-null
                }
            }
            interface eth3
            router-id 10.255.254.2
        }
    }
    ospf {
        area 0 {
            network 10.180.3.0/24
            network 10.255.254.2/32
        }
        parameters {
            abr-type cisco
            router-id 10.255.254.2
        }
    }

So as the line has been re-entered automatically upon application of the config.boot (which did not contain the line), if I now make a change to the config and save it, when I reboot, I end up in the same broken situation that I will lose configuration as that line is seen as invalid configuration and breaks the rest of the config application process.

@simonb should be fixed in the latest rolling release. Could you check?
