@Viacheslav, Thank you for the hint. After further analysis, these are the findings from the tests done in the lab running 1.4.0 version on both sides with server/client setup.

@fernando Any idea for CLI?

The solution sketched above will be handled in subtask T6569; in this task we will revert to using only the local redundancy removal in order to provide per-script error reporting.

Any idea for CLI?

Since loopback and dummy are fundamentally different in Linux, trying to pretend they are not would be misleading rather than helpful. Unless anything changes in the kernel, we should keep things as is.

Recovering gracefully and logging an error is a simple fix, and will be committed in the interim while the larger issue is addressed: namely, when running under vyos-configd, a ConfigError in a called dependency script should elicit a commit error in the originating config session. Here, however, we confront again the constraints of operating under the legacy commit algorithm. To address the matter, we will implement a partial solution to T5731 so as to catch verification errors in the (first instance of) sequential processing of the priority queue and cache the data for final processing of the activation stages (generate/apply); errors in the latter stages, as less common, will be logged. The sketch provided summarizes a design that balances the needs of early and correct (verify stage) error reporting with removing redundancy overhead when running under configd.

After spending more time handling VRFs within VyOS the answer from @Viacheslav is best

Probably the best way will be moving the config to the vrf section (not implemented)
For example:

set vrf name foo service dhcp-server shared-network-name eth1 option default-router '192.168.1.1'
set vrf name foo service dhcp-server shared-network-name eth1 subnet 192.168.1.0/24 lease '300'
set vrf name foo service dhcp-server shared-network-name eth1 subnet 192.168.1.0/24 range default start '192.168.1.10'

And start several instances, each with its configuration.
