When trying to lower the local preference in a route-map, I get an error:
[email protected]# set rule 300 set local-preference "-10" "-10" is not a valid value of type "u32"
Even though http://docs.frrouting.org/en/latest/routemap.html?highlight=local-preference#clicmd-setlocal-preferenceLOCAL_PREF mentions that the local preference can be lowered like this.
@tuxis-ie
FRR doesn't allow you to set that value. It's not a bug of VyOS.
In commands description allowed values (0-4294967295)
r12-1.2.6(config)# route-map FOO permit 100 r12-1.2.6(config-route-map)# set local-preference (0-4294967295) Preference value r12-1.2.6(config-route-map)# set local-preference (0-4294967295) Preference value r12-1.2.6(config-route-map)# set local-preference -10 % Unknown command: set local-preference -10
I think the FRR documentation is out of date.
@tuxis-ie we are running FRR 7.3 and can not easily upgrade to 7.4 due do changes in the FRR behavior and known bugs which we already faced in a rolling release which was running FRR 7.5.
Very well.
Suggestions on how to achieve the same behaviour are welcome.
I think this bug should be a feature-request for a later version of Vyos which includes FRR >7.4?
