Interface redirect to dum0
Closed, ResolvedPublicBUG

Description

Hi,

In version 1.4-rolling-202101171022 the command to redirect an interface to the dummy interface has stopped working. In version 1.1.8 that command works. Here's the command that is being applied:

set interfaces ethernet eth5 vif 1002 redirect 'dum0'

Here’s what is happening:
set interfaces dummy dum0 address ‘192.168.201.1/24’

Then this command is added:
vyos@vyos# set interfaces ethernet eth5 vif 1002 redirect ‘dum0’

Then the commit:
vyos@vyos# commit
[ interfaces ethernet eth5 vif 1002 redirect dum0 ]
Cannot find device “eth5.1002”
tc qdisc ingress failed at /opt/vyatta/sbin/vyatta-qos.pl line 334.

interfaces ethernet eth5 failed

Try it again:

vyos@vyos# set interfaces ethernet eth5 vif 1002 redirect ‘dum0’
vyos@vyos# commit
[ interfaces ethernet eth5 vif 1002 redirect dum0 ]
Error: Parent Qdisc doesn’t exists.
We have an error talking to the kernel
tc action redirect command failed at /opt/vyatta/sbin/vyatta-qos.pl line 343.

And just in case, try it again:

vyos@vyos# set interfaces ethernet eth5 vif 1002 redirect ‘dum0’
vyos@vyos# commit
[ interfaces ethernet eth5 vif 1002 redirect dum0 ]
Error: Exclusivity flag on, cannot modify.

I cannot replicate this bug in a clean install of 1.4-rolling-202105291042.

vyos@vyos# set interfaces dummy dum0 address 192.168.201.1/24

Either there's something in your config meddling with the interface creation or (most likely) this bug was solved in the main branch since then.

I got it to work with version 1.4-rolling-202105291042. Here's the configuration that works:

set interfaces dummy dum0 address '192.168.221.1/24'
set interfaces dummy dum0 ip source-validation 'strict'
set interfaces ethernet eth2 vif 1000
set protocols static route 192.168.221.2/32 interface eth2.1000

Thanks for your help
