DHCPv6 PD verification issues
Closed, ResolvedPublicBUG

Description

In the vyos-1x Git current and equuleus branches, verify_dhcpv6() in python/vyos/configverify.py raises a ConfigError when there is more than one VLAN interface configured to receive a DHCPv6 PD prefix. Specifically, on line 196, sla_id is assigned None because dict_search() splits on the VLAN interface period; the duplicate check then catches the multiple None values.

To reproduce, boot vyos-1.3-rolling-202101061750-amd64.iso and configure as follows:

set interfaces ethernet eth0 vif 10
set interfaces ethernet eth0 vif 11
set interfaces ethernet eth0 dhcpv6-options pd 0 interface eth0.10 sla-id 0
set interfaces ethernet eth0 dhcpv6-options pd 0 interface eth0.11 sla-id 1
commit

Results:

Site-Level Aggregation Identifier (SLA-ID) must be unique per prefix-delegation!
[[interfaces ethernet eth0]] failed
Commit failed

verify_dhcpv6() raises a ConfigError when more than one interface is auto-assigned an SLA-ID. data/templates/dhcp-client/ipv6.tmpl handles the auto-assigning of SLA-IDs on lines 39, 46, and 52.

To reproduce, boot vyos-1.3-rolling-202101061750-amd64.iso and configure as follows:

set interfaces ethernet eth0 dhcpv6-options pd 0 interface eth1
set interfaces ethernet eth0 dhcpv6-options pd 0 interface eth2
commit

Results:

Site-Level Aggregation Identifier (SLA-ID) must be unique per prefix-delegation!
[[interfaces ethernet eth0]] failed
Commit failed

verify_dhcpv6() fails to raise a ConfigError when one interface is auto-assigned an SLA-ID and another is configured with the same SLA-ID.

To reproduce, boot vyos-1.3-rolling-202101061750-amd64.iso and configure as follows:

set interfaces ethernet eth0 dhcpv6-options pd 0 interface eth1
set interfaces ethernet eth0 dhcpv6-options pd 0 interface eth2 sla-id 0
commit
cat /run/dhcp6c/dhcp6c.eth0.conf

Results:

### Autogenerated by interface.py ###

# man https://www.unix.com/man-page/debian/5/dhcp6c.conf/
interface eth0 {
    send ia-pd 0; # prefix delegation #0
};


id-assoc pd 0 {
    prefix ::/64 infinity;
    prefix-interface eth1 {
        sla-len 0;
        sla-id 0;
    };
    prefix-interface eth2 {
        sla-len 0;
        sla-id 0;
    };
};

Note the duplicate sla-id.


Fixes are already written; I will comment with a GitHub PR shortly.
