Copyright (c) 2024, LabN Consulting, L.L.C. +.. +.. + +Prior versions of FRR supported reading and writing per-daemon config files; +however, with the introduction of the centralized management daemon ``mgmtd`` +this could no longer be supported. + +In order to allow for an orderly transition from per-daemon config files to the +integrated config file, FRR daemons will continue to try and **read** their +specific per-daemon configuration file as before. Additionally the config can +still be loaded directly using the ``-f`` or ``--config-file`` CLI options; +however, these files will **not** be updated when the configuration is written +(e.g., with the ``write mem`` command). + +.. warning:: + + Per-daemon files will **no longer** be updated when the user issues a ``write + memory`` command. Therefore these per-daemon config files should only be used + as a mechanism for transitioning to the integrated config, and then removed. |
