route-map issues , not load configuration FRR
Closed, ResolvedPublicBUG

Description

Hi team ,

I've made some tests, over the last version frr 8.4, and I found a behavior that this configuration doesn't allow to load full route-map with sentences on FRR (however, our cli allows to configure it /show)

vyos cli- export policy: 

set policy prefix-list PFX-ALL rule 10 action 'permit'
set policy prefix-list PFX-ALL rule 10 prefix '0.0.0.0/0'
set policy prefix-list PFX-BGP-RESERVED rule 10 action 'deny'
set policy prefix-list PFX-BGP-RESERVED rule 10 prefix '192.168.100.0/26'


set policy community-list COMM-AS65599-INTERNAL-DEL1 rule 10 action 'permit'
set policy community-list COMM-AS65599-INTERNAL-DEL1 rule 10 regex '1001:111'
set policy community-list COMM-AS65599-MATCH-BLH1 rule 10 action 'permit'
set policy community-list COMM-AS65599-MATCH-BLH1 rule 10 regex '1001:666'
set policy community-list COMM-ISP1-AS1001-MATCH-ADV1 rule 10 action 'permit'
set policy community-list COMM-ISP1-AS1001-MATCH-ADV1 rule 10 regex '1001:111'
set policy community-list COMM-ISP1-AS1001-MATCH-FLT1 rule 10 action 'permit'
set policy community-list COMM-ISP1-AS1001-MATCH-FLT1 rule 10 regex '666:666'

set policy route-map MAP-ISP1-AS1001-EXPORT rule 130 match ip address prefix-list PFX-ALL


import:

set policy route-map MAP-ISP1-AS1001-IMPORT rule 10 match ip address prefix-list 'PFX-BGP-RESERVED'
set policy route-map MAP-ISP1-AS1001-IMPORT rule 100 action 'permit'
set policy route-map MAP-ISP1-AS1001-IMPORT rule 100 continue '200'
set policy route-map MAP-ISP1-AS1001-IMPORT rule 100 match community community-list 'COMM-AS65599-INTERNAL-DEL1'
set policy route-map MAP-ISP1-AS1001-IMPORT rule 100 set community delete 'COMM-AS65599-INTERNAL-DEL1'
set policy route-map MAP-ISP1-AS1001-IMPORT rule 200 action 'permit'

if only configure the import policy , it works without issues ,when i add the export policy is not able to load full configuration :

Event Timeline

set policy route-map MAP-ISP1-AS1001-EXPORT rule 50 action 'deny'
set policy route-map MAP-ISP1-AS1001-EXPORT rule 50 continue '100'

A possible reason is an action deny and state continue that doesn't make sense and can't pass FRR validation
FRR

route-map FOO permit 10
route-map FOO permit 100
route-map FOO deny 50
 on-match goto 100


r14(config)# route-map FOO permit 10
r14(config-route-map)# route-map FOO permit 100
r14(config-route-map)# route-map FOO deny 50
r14(config-route-map)#  on-match goto 100
% Configuration failed.

Error type: validation
r14(config-route-map)#

So route-map cannot be loaded at all, as it is an invalid configuration.

It seems wrong logic to stat "on-match" with deny, as it expects permit

route-map FOO permit 10
route-map FOO permit 100
route-map FOO permit 50
 on-match goto 100


r14(config)# 
r14(config)# route-map FOO permit 10
r14(config-route-map)# route-map FOO permit 100
r14(config-route-map)# route-map FOO permit 50
r14(config-route-map)#  on-match goto 100
r14(config-route-map)# 
r14(config-route-map)#

thanks @Viacheslav

as we talked , this behavior is the same on vyos1.3.x/frr7.5.x . the main difference is that on vyos-cli doesn't add this command .

vyos@vyos#   commit
[ policy route-map MAP-ISP1-AS1001-EXPORT rule 50 continue 100 ]

on FRR :

vyos(config)# route-map FOO deny 50
vyos(config-route-map)# on-match goto 100

regarding frr documentation, there isn't an explicit part where they said that it's not possible, however I found something that talked about exits-policy :

http://docs.frrouting.org/en/stable-8.4/routemap.html#term-Exit-Policy

    n entry may, optionally, specify an alternative Exit Policy to take if the entry matched, rather than the normal policy of exiting the route-map and permitting the route. The two possibilities are:

        next: Continue on with processing of the route-map entries.

        goto N: Jump ahead to the first route-map entry whose order in the route-map is >= N. Jumping to a previous entry is not permitted.

The default action of a route-map, if no entries match, is to deny. I.e. a route-map essentially has as its last entry an empty deny entry, which matches all routes. To change this behaviour, one must specify an empty permit entry as the last entry in the route-map.

It seems the logic on 'set rules' over RM, is denied by default. So it doesn't allow jumping (on-match goto) or shouldn't allow making it. as f far as I understand, we should check /not permit these rules to avoid issues when the route-map load on FRR.

Viacheslav claimed this task.
Viacheslav moved this task from Need Triage to Finished on the VyOS 1.4 Sagitta board.

rule 50 "continue" cannot be used with action deny!
