Add source route option to VTI interfaces
Closed, ResolvedPublicFEATURE REQUEST
Actions

Description

I am missing a CLI option to attach a source route to a vti interface like it is possible for other interfaces.

Ethernet:

hsychla@srt01# set interfaces ethernet eth1 policy route 
Possible completions:
   <text>       IPv4 policy route ruleset for interface

VTI:

hsychla@srt01# set interfaces vti vti1 
Possible completions:
+  address      IP address
   description  Description
   disable      Disable interface
 > firewall     Firewall options
 > ip           IPv4 routing parameters
 > ipv6         IPv6 routing parameters
   mtu          Maximum Transmission Unit (MTU)
   redirect     Incoming packet redirection destination
 > traffic-policy
                Traffic-policy for interface

According to @dmbaturin this might be an oversight rather than intentional.

Can somebody confirm?

And is there a possible workaround like adding manual iptables rules? ==> yes, add what you need to /config/scripts/vyatta-postconfig-bootup.script

Just in case somebody finds this through google...

A workaround is to create the source route policy as always and attach it to the interface using iptables directly

Create policy:

set policy route source_route rule 10 set table '10'
set policy route source_route rule 10 source address '10.10.10.0/24'
set protocols static table 10 route 0.0.0.0/0 next-hop '10.10.20.1'

Attach to vti inteface:
in /config/scripts/vyatta-postconfig-bootup.script:

iptables -t mangle -A VYATTA_FW_IN_HOOK -i vti0 -j source_route
