Description

Despite having weights configured for BGP neighbors they are not displayed and do not appear to be utilized in the route selection process. I may be missing one or more config settings in 1.2 that or messing me up, but the same general equivilant in 1.18 worked.

looks like even if not listed it can be set, but not applied via cli. also need to test if it works.

@sentania http://dev.packages.vyos.net/repositories/current/vyos/pool/main/v/vyatta-cfg-quagga/vyatta-cfg-quagga_0.19.1+vyos2+current9_all.deb or next rolling release will have it patched. It was just not implemented in the backend, so the parameter was never read from the cli.

I've tested with the following:

set protocols bgp 64513 address-family ipv4-unicast redistribute connected
set protocols bgp 64513 maximum-paths ebgp '1'
set protocols bgp 64513 maximum-paths ibgp '1'

set protocols bgp 64513 neighbor 10.100.0.36 timers holdtime '4'
set protocols bgp 64513 neighbor 10.100.0.36 timers keepalive '12'

Still seeing this bug in 1.2.2. VyOS config has weights configured, but in the FRR config, weight is missing.

@hagbard can you take a look if that was backported?
