Allow bonding interfaces to have pseudo-ethernet interfaces
Closed, ResolvedPublicFEATURE REQUEST

Description

I have a connection bundle on bond0 to my switch. And bond0.2 is my connection to the ISP that requires me to use DHCP.

But my ISP allows me to get up to 3 IPs, but I have to request them using DHCP, with different mac address for each address.

Feature request: Allow me to do something like this:

+pseudo-ethernet peth0 {
+    link bond0
+    vif 2 {
+        address dhcp
+        address dhcpv6
+        mac 00:20:91:aa:aa:aa
+    }
+}
+pseudo-ethernet peth1 {
+    link bond0
+    vif 2 {
+        address dhcp
+        address dhcpv6
+        mac 00:20:91:bb:bb:bb
+    }
+}
+pseudo-ethernet peth2 {
+    link bond0
+    vif 2 {
+        address dhcp
+        address dhcpv6
+        mac 00:20:91:cc:cc:cc
+    }
+}

Currently fails with:

[ interfaces pseudo-ethernet peth2 link bond0 ]
bond0 is a bonding interface not an ethernet interface

[[interfaces pseudo-ethernet peth2]] failed
[ interfaces pseudo-ethernet peth0 link bond0 ]
bond0 is a bonding interface not an ethernet interface

[[interfaces pseudo-ethernet peth0]] failed

Event Timeline

I commented out lines 389 and 390 in https://github.com/vyos/vyatta-cfg-system/blob/67b10e6ff5f33d73c128508f00198cc3c04c13fc/scripts/vyatta-interfaces.pl#L377.

By doing that i was able to create a peth0 with bond0 as link.

I then created vif 2 under peth0, it was created successfully but no traffic arrived on it.

Only once i deleted bond0.2 did I receive traffic, so a check should be in place for that. Probably also for ethX.N interfaces.

I am now using the peth0.2 as my internet interface and it works fine.

@Gunni can you check the latest rolling?

It works

vyos@r4-roll:~$ show version 

Version:          VyOS 1.3-rolling-202010190146
Release Train:    equuleus
set interfaces bonding bond0 member interface 'eth1'
set interfaces bonding bond0 vif 20
set interfaces ethernet eth1
set interfaces pseudo-ethernet peth0 address 'dhcp'
set interfaces pseudo-ethernet peth0 source-interface 'bond0.20'
set interfaces pseudo-ethernet peth1 address 'dhcp'
set interfaces pseudo-ethernet peth1 source-interface 'bond0.20'
set interfaces pseudo-ethernet peth2 address 'dhcp'
set interfaces pseudo-ethernet peth2 source-interface 'bond0.20'

And check dhcp, I get address on each "peth" interface.
