Babel has been described as 'RIP on speed' -- +it is based on the same principles as RIP, but includes a number of refinements +that make it react much faster to topology changes without ever counting to +infinity, and allow it to perform reliable link quality estimation on wireless +links. Babel is a double-stack routing protocol, meaning that a single Babel +instance is able to perform routing for both IPv4 and IPv6. + +FRR implements Babel as described in :rfc:`6126`. + +.. _configuring-babeld: + +Configuring babeld +================== + +The *babeld* daemon can be invoked with any of the common +options (:ref:`common-invocation-options`). + +The *zebra* daemon must be running before *babeld* is +invoked.

This is + highly recommended in networks with many wireless nodes. + If you enable this, you will probably want to set `babel + diversity-factor` and `babel channel` below. + + +.. clicmd:: babel diversity-factor (1-256) + + Sets the multiplicative factor used for diversity routing, in units of + 1/256; lower values cause diversity to play a more important role in + route selection. The default it 256, which means that diversity plays + no role in route selection; you will probably want to set that to 128 + or less on nodes with multiple independent radios. + +.. clicmd:: network IFNAME + + Enable or disable Babel on the given interface. + + +.. clicmd:: babel + + Specifies whether this interface is wireless, which disables a number + of optimisations that are only correct on wired interfaces. + Specifying `wireless` (the default) is always correct, but may + cause slower convergence and extra routing traffic. + +.. clicmd:: babel split-horizon + + Specifies whether to perform split-horizon on the interface. Specifying + ``no babel split-horizon`` is always correct, while ``babel + split-horizon`` is an optimisation that should only be used on symmetric + and transitive (wired) networks. The default is ``babel split-horizon`` + on wired interfaces, and ``no babel split-horizon`` on wireless + interfaces. This flag is reset when the wired/wireless status of an + interface is changed. + + +.. clicmd:: babel hello-interval (20-655340) + + Specifies the time in milliseconds between two scheduled hellos. On + wired links, Babel notices a link failure within two hello intervals; + on wireless links, the link quality value is reestimated at every + hello interval. The default is 4000 ms. + + +.. clicmd:: babel update-interval (20-655340) + + Specifies the time in milliseconds between two scheduled updates. Since + Babel makes extensive use of triggered updates, this can be set to fairly + high values on links with little packet loss.

This is reset when the wired/wireless status of an interface is + changed. + + +.. clicmd:: babel rxcost (1-65534) + + Specifies the base receive cost for this interface. For wireless + interfaces, it specifies the multiplier used for computing the ETX + reception cost (default 256); for wired interfaces, it specifies the + cost that will be advertised to neighbours. This value is reset when + the wired/wireless attribute of the interface is changed. + +.. note:: + Do not use this command unless you know what you are doing; in most + networks, acting directly on the cost using route maps is a better + technique. + + +.. clicmd:: babel rtt-decay (1-256) + + This specifies the decay factor for the exponential moving average of + RTT samples, in units of 1/256. Higher values discard old samples + faster. The default is 42. + + +.. clicmd:: babel rtt-min (1-65535) + + This specifies the minimum RTT, in milliseconds, starting from which we + increase the cost to a neighbour.

This information +forms the initial command set for a routing beast as it is starting. + +Config files are generally found in |INSTALL_PREFIX_ETC|. + +Config Methods +-------------- + +There are two ways of configuring FRR. + +Traditionally each of the daemons had its own config file. The daemon name plus +``.conf`` was the default config file name. For example, zebra's default config +file was :file:`zebra.conf`. This method is deprecated. + +Because of the amount of config files this creates, and the tendency of one +daemon to rely on others for certain functionality, most deployments now use +"integrated" configuration. In this setup all configuration goes into a single +file, typically :file:`/etc/frr/frr.conf`. When starting up FRR using an init +script or systemd, ``vtysh`` is invoked to read the config file and send the +appropriate portions to only the daemons interested in them. Running +configuration updates are persisted back to this single file using ``vtysh``. +This is the recommended method. To use this method, add the following line to +:file:`/etc/frr/vtysh.conf`: + +.. code-block:: frr + + service integrated-vtysh-config + +If you installed from source or used a package, this is probably already +present. + +If desired, you can specify a config file using the :option:`-f` or +:option:`--config_file` options when starting a daemon. + + +.. _basic-config-commands: + +Basic Config Commands +--------------------- + +.. clicmd:: hostname HOSTNAME + + Set hostname of the router. It is only for current ``vtysh``, it will not be + saved to any configuration file even with ``write file``. + +.. clicmd:: domainname DOMAINNAME + + Set domainname of the router. It is only for current ``vtysh``, it will not + be saved to any configuration file even with ``write file``. + +.. clicmd:: password PASSWORD + + Set password for vty interface. The ``no`` form of the command deletes the + password. If there is no password, a vty won't accept connections. + +.. clicmd:: enable password PASSWORD + + Set enable password. The ``no`` form of the command deletes the enable + password. + +.. clicmd:: service cputime-stats + + Collect CPU usage statistics for individual FRR event handlers and CLI + commands. This is enabled by default and can be disabled if the extra + overhead causes a noticeable slowdown on your system. + + Disabling these statistics will also make the + :clicmd:`service cputime-warning (1-4294967295)` limit non-functional. + +.. clicmd:: service cputime-warning (1-4294967295) + + Warn if the CPU usage of an event handler or CLI command exceeds the + specified limit (in milliseconds.) Such warnings are generally indicative + of some routine in FRR mistakenly blocking/hogging the processing loop and + should be reported as a FRR bug. + + This command has no effect if :clicmd:`service cputime-stats` is disabled. + +.. clicmd:: service walltime-warning (1-4294967295) + + Warn if the total wallclock time spent handling an event or executing a CLI + command exceeds the specified limit (in milliseconds.) This includes time + spent waiting for I/O or other tasks executing and may produce excessive + warnings if the system is overloaded. (This may still be useful to + provide an immediate sign that FRR is not operating correctly due to + externally caused starvation.) + +.. clicmd:: log trap LEVEL + + These commands are deprecated and are present only for historical + compatibility. The log trap command sets the current logging level for all + enabled logging destinations, and it sets the default for all future logging + commands that do not specify a level. The normal default logging level is + debugging. The ``no`` form of the command resets the default level for + future logging commands to debugging, but it does not change the logging + level of existing logging destinations. + + +.. clicmd:: log stdout LEVEL + + Enable logging output to stdout. If the optional second argument specifying + the logging level is not present, the default logging level (typically + debugging) will be used. The ``no`` form of the command disables logging to + stdout. The ``LEVEL`` argument must have one of these values: emergencies, + alerts, critical, errors, warnings, notifications, informational, or + debugging. Note that the existing code logs its most important messages with + severity ``errors``. + + .. note:: + + If ``systemd`` is in use and stdout is connected to systemd, FRR will + automatically switch to ``journald`` extended logging for this target. + + .. warning:: + + FRRouting uses the ``writev()`` system call to write log messages. This + call is supposed to be atomic, but in reality this does not hold for + pipes or terminals, only regular files. This means that in rare cases, + concurrent log messages from distinct threads may get jumbled in + terminal output. Use a log file and ``tail -f`` if this rare chance is + inacceptable to your setup. + +.. clicmd:: log file [FILENAME [LEVEL]] + + If you want to log into a file, please specify ``filename`` as + in this example: + + :: + + log file /var/log/frr/bgpd.log informational + + If the optional second argument specifying the logging level is not present, + the default logging level (typically debugging, but can be changed using the + deprecated ``log trap`` command) will be used. The ``no`` form of the command + disables logging to a file. + +.. clicmd:: log syslog [LEVEL] + + Enable logging output to syslog. If the optional second argument specifying + the logging level is not present, the default logging level (typically + debugging, but can be changed using the deprecated ``log trap`` command) will + be used. The ``no`` form of the command disables logging to syslog. + + .. note:: + + This uses the system's ``syslog()`` API, which does not support message + batching or structured key/value data pairs. If possible, use + :clicmd:`log extended EXTLOGNAME` with + :clicmd:`destination syslog [supports-rfc5424]` instead of this. + +.. clicmd:: log extended EXTLOGNAME + + Create an extended logging target with the specified name. The name has + no further meaning and is only used to identify the target. Multiple + targets can be created and deleted with the ``no`` form. + + Refer to :ref:`ext-log-target` for further details and suboptions. + +.. clicmd:: log monitor [LEVEL] + + This command is deprecated and does nothing. + +.. clicmd:: log facility [FACILITY] + + This command changes the facility used in syslog messages. The default + facility is ``daemon``. The ``no`` form of the command resets the facility + to the default ``daemon`` facility. + +.. clicmd:: log record-priority + + To include the severity in all messages logged to a file, to stdout, or to + a terminal monitor (i.e. anything except syslog), + use the ``log record-priority`` global configuration command. + To disable this option, use the ``no`` form of the command. By default, + the severity level is not included in logged messages. Note: some + versions of syslogd can be configured to include the facility and + level in the messages emitted. + +.. clicmd:: log timestamp precision [(0-6)] + + This command sets the precision of log message timestamps to the given + number of digits after the decimal point. Currently, the value must be in + the range 0 to 6 (i.e. the maximum precision is microseconds). To restore + the default behavior (1-second accuracy), use the ``no`` form of the + command, or set the precision explicitly to 0. + + :: + + log timestamp precision 3 + + In this example, the precision is set to provide timestamps with + millisecond accuracy. + +.. clicmd:: log commands + + This command enables the logging of all commands typed by a user to all + enabled log destinations. The note that logging includes full command lines, + including passwords. If the daemon startup option `--command-log-always` + is used to start the daemon then this command is turned on by default + and cannot be turned off and the [no] form of the command is dissallowed. + +.. clicmd:: log filtered-file [FILENAME [LEVEL]] + + Configure a destination file for filtered logs with the + :clicmd:`log filter-text WORD` command. + +.. clicmd:: log filter-text WORD + + This command forces logs to be filtered on a specific string. A log message + will only be printed if it matches on one of the filters in the log-filter + table. The filter only applies to file logging targets configured with + :clicmd:`log filtered-file [FILENAME [LEVEL]]`. + + .. note:: + + Log filters help when you need to turn on debugs that cause significant + load on the system (enabling certain debugs can bring FRR to a halt). + Log filters prevent this but you should still expect a small performance + hit due to filtering each of all those logs. + + .. note:: + + This setting is not saved to ``frr.conf`` and not shown in + :clicmd:`show running-config`. It is intended for ephemeral debugging + purposes only. + +.. clicmd:: clear log filter-text + + This command clears all current filters in the log-filter table. + + +.. clicmd:: log immediate-mode + + Use unbuffered output for log and debug messages; normally there is + some internal buffering. + +.. clicmd:: log unique-id + + Include ``[XXXXX-XXXXX]`` log message unique identifier in the textual part + of log messages. This is enabled by default, but can be disabled with + ``no log unique-id``. Please make sure the IDs are enabled when including + logs for FRR bug reports. + + The unique identifiers are automatically generated based on source code + file name, format string (before filling out) and severity. They do not + change "randomly", but some cleanup work may cause large chunks of ID + changes between releases. The IDs always start with a letter, consist of + letters and numbers (and a dash for readability), are case insensitive, and + ``I``, ``L``, ``O`` & ``U`` are excluded. + + This option will not affect future logging targets which allow putting the + unique identifier in auxiliary metadata outside the log message text + content. (No such logging target exists currently, but RFC5424 syslog and + systemd's journald both support it.) + +.. clicmd:: debug unique-id XXXXX-XXXXX backtrace + + Print backtraces (call stack) for specific log messages, identified by + their unique ID (see above.) Includes source code location and current + event handler being executed. On some systems you may need to install a + `debug symbols` package to get proper function names rather than raw code + pointers. + + This command can be issued inside and outside configuration mode, and is + saved to configuration only if it was given in configuration mode. + + .. warning:: + + Printing backtraces can significantly slow down logging calls and cause + log files to quickly balloon in size. Remember to disable backtraces + when they're no longer needed. + +.. clicmd:: debug routemap [detail] + + This command turns on debugging of routemaps. When detail is specified + more data is provided to the operator about the reasoning about what + is going on in the routemap code. + +.. clicmd:: service password-encryption + + Encrypt password. + +.. clicmd:: service advanced-vty + + Enable advanced mode VTY. + +.. clicmd:: service terminal-length (0-512) + + Set system wide line configuration. This configuration command applies to + all VTY interfaces. + +.. clicmd:: line vty + + Enter vty configuration mode. + +.. clicmd:: banner motd default + + Set default motd string. + +.. clicmd:: banner motd file FILE + + Set motd string from file. The file must be in directory specified + under ``--sysconfdir``. + +.. clicmd:: banner motd line LINE + + Set motd string from an input. + +.. clicmd:: exec-timeout MINUTE [SECOND] + + Set VTY connection timeout value. When only one argument is specified + it is used for timeout value in minutes. Optional second argument is + used for timeout value in seconds. Default timeout value is 10 minutes. + When timeout value is zero, it means no timeout. + + Not setting this, or setting the values to 0 0, means a timeout will not be + enabled. + +.. clicmd:: access-class ACCESS-LIST + + Restrict vty connections with an access list. + +.. clicmd:: allow-reserved-ranges + + Allow using IPv4 reserved (Class E) IP ranges for daemons. E.g.: setting + IPv4 addresses for interfaces or allowing reserved ranges in BGP next-hops. + + If you need multiple FRR instances (or FRR + any other daemon) running in a + single router and peering via 127.0.0.0/8, it's also possible to use this + knob if turned on. + + Default: off. + +.. _sample-config-file: + +Sample Config File +------------------ + +Below is a sample configuration file for the zebra daemon. + +.. code-block:: frr + + ! + ! Zebra configuration file + ! + frr version 6.0 + frr defaults traditional + ! + hostname Router + password zebra + enable password zebra + ! + log stdout + ! + ! + + +``!`` and ``#`` are comment characters. If the first character of the word is +one of the comment characters then from the rest of the line forward will be +ignored as a comment. + +.. code-block:: frr + + password zebra!password + +If a comment character is not the first character of the word, it's a normal +character. So in the above example ``!`` will not be regarded as a comment and +the password is set to ``zebra!password``. + + +Configuration versioning, profiles and upgrade behavior +------------------------------------------------------- + +All |PACKAGE_NAME| daemons share a mechanism to specify a configuration profile +and version for loading and saving configuration. Specific configuration +settings take different default values depending on the selected profile and +version. + +While the profile can be selected by user configuration and will remain over +upgrades, |PACKAGE_NAME| will always write configurations using its current +version. This means that, after upgrading, a ``write file`` may write out a +slightly different configuration than what was read in. + +Since the previous configuration is loaded with its version's defaults, but +the new configuration is written with the new defaults, any default that +changed between versions will result in an appropriate configuration entry +being written out. **FRRouting configuration is sticky, staying consistent +over upgrades.** Changed defaults will only affect new configuration. + +Note that the loaded version persists into interactive configuration +sessions. Commands executed in an interactive configuration session are +no different from configuration loaded at startup. This means that when, +say, you configure a new BGP peer, the defaults used for configuration +are the ones selected by the last ``frr version`` command. + +.. warning:: + + Saving the configuration does not bump the daemons forward to use the new + version for their defaults, but restarting them will, since they will then + apply the new ``frr version`` command that was written out. Manually + execute the ``frr version`` command in ``show running-config`` to avoid + this intermediate state. + +This is visible in ``show running-config``: + +.. code-block:: frr + + Current configuration: + ! + ! loaded from 6.0 + frr version 6.1-dev + frr defaults traditional + ! + +If you save and then restart with this configuration, the old defaults will +no longer apply. Similarly, you could execute ``frr version 6.1-dev``, causing +the new defaults to apply and the ``loaded from 6.0`` comment to disappear. + + +Profiles +^^^^^^^^ + +|PACKAGE_NAME| provides configuration profiles to adapt its default settings +to various usage scenarios. Currently, the following profiles are +implemented: + +* ``traditional`` - reflects defaults adhering mostly to IETF standards or + common practices in wide-area internet routing. +* ``datacenter`` - reflects a single administrative domain with intradomain + links using aggressive timers. + +Your distribution/installation may pre-set a profile through the ``-F`` command +line option on all daemons. All daemons must be configured for the same +profile. The value specified on the command line is only a pre-set and any +``frr defaults`` statement in the configuration will take precedence. + +.. note:: + + The profile must be the same across all daemons. Mismatches may result + in undefined behavior. + +You can freely switch between profiles without causing any interruption or +configuration changes. All settings remain at their previous values, and +``show running-configuration`` output will have new output listing the previous +default values as explicit configuration. New configuration, e.g. adding a +BGP peer, will use the new defaults. To apply the new defaults for existing +configuration, the previously-invisible old defaults that are now shown must +be removed from the configuration. + + +Upgrade practices for interactive configuration +^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ + +If you configure |PACKAGE_NAME| interactively and use the configuration +writing functionality to make changes persistent, the following +recommendations apply in regards to upgrades: + +1. Skipping major versions should generally work but is still inadvisable. + To avoid unneeded issue, upgrade one major version at a time and write + out the configuration after each update. + +2. After installing a new |PACKAGE_NAME| version, check the configuration + for differences against your old configuration. If any defaults changed + that affect your setup, lines may appear or disappear. If a new line + appears, it was previously the default (or not supported) and is now + necessary to retain previous behavior. If a line disappears, it + previously wasn't the default, but now is, so it is no longer necessary. + +3. Check the log files for deprecation warnings by using ``grep -i deprecat``. + +4. After completing each upgrade, save the configuration and either restart + |PACKAGE_NAME| or execute ``frr version `` to ensure defaults of + the new version are fully applied. + + +Upgrade practices for autogenerated configuration +^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ + +When using |PACKAGE_NAME| with generated configurations (e.g. Ansible, +Puppet, etc.), upgrade considerations differ somewhat: + +1. Always write out a ``frr version`` statement in the configurations you + generate. This ensures that defaults are applied consistently. + +2. Try to not run more distinct versions of |PACKAGE_NAME| than necessary. + Each version may need to be checked individually. If running a mix of + older and newer installations, use the oldest version for the + ``frr version`` statement. + +3. When rolling out upgrades, generate a configuration as usual with the old + version identifier and load it. Check for any differences or deprecation + warnings. If there are differences in the configuration, propagate these + back to the configuration generator to minimize relying on actual default + values. + +4. After the last installation of an old version is removed, change the + configuration generation to a newer ``frr version`` as appropriate. Perform + the same checks as when rolling out upgrades. + + +.. _terminal-mode-commands: + +Terminal Mode Commands +====================== + +.. clicmd:: write terminal + + Displays the current configuration to the vty interface. + +.. clicmd:: write file + + Write current configuration to configuration file. + +.. clicmd:: configure [terminal] + + Change to configuration mode.

This is only available if + allocations on a type are always made with the same size. + * the third column is the total amount of memory allocated for the + particular type, including padding applied by malloc. This means that + the number may be larger than the first column multiplied by the second. + Overhead incurred by malloc's bookkeeping is not included in this, and + the column may be missing if system support is not available. + + When executing this command from ``vtysh``, each of the daemons' memory + usage is printed sequentially. You can specify the daemon's name to print + only its memory usage. + +.. clicmd:: show motd + + Show current motd banner. + +.. clicmd:: show history + + Dump the vtysh cli history. + +.. clicmd:: logmsg LEVEL MESSAGE + + Send a message to all logging destinations that are enabled for messages of + the given severity. + +.. clicmd:: find REGEX... + + This command performs a regex search across all defined commands in all + modes. As an example, suppose you're in enable mode and can't remember where + the command to turn OSPF segment routing on is: + + :: + + frr# find segment-routing on + (ospf) segment-routing on + (isis) segment-routing on + + + The CLI mode is displayed next to each command. In this example, + :clicmd:`segment-routing on` is under the `router ospf` mode. + + Similarly, suppose you want a listing of all commands that contain "l2vpn" + and "neighbor": + + :: + + frr# find l2vpn.*neighbor + (view) show [ip] bgp l2vpn evpn neighbors advertised-routes [json] + (view) show [ip] bgp l2vpn evpn neighbors routes [json] + (view) show [ip] bgp l2vpn evpn rd ASN:NN_OR_IP-ADDRESS:NN neighbors advertised-routes [json] + (view) show [ip] bgp l2vpn evpn rd ASN:NN_OR_IP-ADDRESS:NN neighbors routes [json] + ... + + + Note that when entering spaces as part of a regex specification, repeated + spaces will be compressed into a single space for matching purposes. This is + a consequence of spaces being used to delimit CLI tokens. If you need to + match more than one space, use the ``\s`` escape. + + POSIX Extended Regular Expressions are supported. + + +.. _common-show-commands: + +.. clicmd:: show thread cpu [r|w|t|e|x] + + This command displays system run statistics for all the different event + types. If no options is specified all different run types are displayed + together. Additionally you can ask to look at (r)ead, (w)rite, (t)imer, + (e)vent and e(x)ecute thread event types. + +.. clicmd:: show thread poll + + This command displays FRR's poll data. It allows a glimpse into how + we are setting each individual fd for the poll command at that point + in time. + +.. clicmd:: show thread timers + + This command displays FRR's timer data for timers that will pop in + the future. + +.. clicmd:: show yang operational-data XPATH [{format |translate TRANSLATOR|with-config}] DAEMON + + Display the YANG operational data starting from XPATH. The default + format is JSON, but can be displayed in XML as well. + + Normally YANG operational data are located inside containers marked + as `read-only`. + + Optionally it is also possible to display configuration leaves in + addition to operational data with the option `with-config`. This + option enables the display of configuration leaves with their + currently configured value (if the leaf is optional it will only show + if it was created or has a default value). + +.. _common-invocation-options: + +Common Invocation Options +========================= + +These options apply to all |PACKAGE_NAME| daemons. + + +.. option:: -d, --daemon + + Run in daemon mode. + +.. option:: -f, --config_file + + Set configuration file name. + +.. option:: -h, --help + + Display this help and exit. + +.. option:: -i, --pid_file + + Upon startup the process identifier of the daemon is written to a file, + typically in :file:`/var/run`. This file can be used by the init system + to implement commands such as ``.../init.d/zebra status``, + ``.../init.d/zebra restart`` or ``.../init.d/zebra stop``. + + The file name is an run-time option rather than a configure-time option so + that multiple routing daemons can be run simultaneously. This is useful when + using |PACKAGE_NAME| to implement a routing looking glass. One machine can + be used to collect differing routing views from differing points in the + network. + +.. option:: -A, --vty_addr
+ + Set the VTY local address to bind to. If set, the VTY socket will only be + bound to this address. + +.. option:: -P, --vty_port + + Set the VTY TCP port number. If set to 0 then the TCP VTY sockets will not + be opened. + +.. option:: -u + + Set the user and group to run as. + +.. option:: -N + + Set the namespace that the daemon will run in. A "/" will + be added to all files that use the statedir. If you have "/var/run/frr" + as the default statedir then it will become "/var/run/frr/". + +.. option:: -o, --vrfdefaultname + + Set the name used for the *Default VRF* in CLI commands and YANG models. + This option must be the same for all running daemons.

Enabling this + is suggested if you have need to track what the operator is doing on + this router. + +.. option:: --log + + When initializing the daemon, setup the log to go to either stdout, + syslog or to a file. These values will be displayed as part of + a show run. Additionally they can be overridden at runtime if + desired via the normal log commands. + +.. option:: --log-level + + When initializing the daemon, allow the specification of a default + log level at startup from one of the specified levels. + +.. option:: --tcli + + Enable the transactional CLI mode. + +.. option:: --limit-fds + + Limit the number of file descriptors that will be used internally + by the FRR daemons. By default, the daemons use the system ulimit + value. + +.. _loadable-module-support: + +Loadable Module Support +======================= + +FRR supports loading extension modules at startup. Loading, reloading or +unloading modules at runtime is not supported (yet). To load a module, use +the following command line option at daemon startup: + + +.. option:: -M, --module + + Load the specified module, optionally passing options to it. If the module + name contains a slash (/), it is assumed to be a full pathname to a file to + be loaded. If it does not contain a slash, the |INSTALL_PREFIX_MODULES| + directory is searched for a module of the given name; first with the daemon + name prepended (e.g. ``zebra_mod`` for ``mod``), then without the daemon + name prepended. + + This option is available on all daemons, though some daemons may not have + any modules available to be loaded. + + +The SNMP Module +--------------- + +If SNMP is enabled during compile-time and installed as part of the package, +the ``snmp`` module can be loaded for the *Zebra*, *bgpd*, *ospfd*, *ospf6d* +and *ripd* daemons. + +The module ignores any options passed to it. Refer to :ref:`snmp-support` for +information on its usage. + + +The FPM Module +-------------- + +If FPM is enabled during compile-time and installed as part of the package, the +``fpm`` module can be loaded for the *zebra* daemon. This provides the +Forwarding Plane Manager ("FPM") API. + +The module expects its argument to be either ``Netlink`` or ``protobuf``, +specifying the encapsulation to use. ``Netlink`` is the default, and +``protobuf`` may not be available if the module was built without protobuf +support.

When port number is 0, that means do not + listen bgp port. + +.. option:: -l, --listenon + + Specify specific IP addresses for bgpd to listen on, rather than its default + of ``0.0.0.0`` / ``::``. This can be useful to constrain bgpd to an internal + address, or to run multiple bgpd processes on one host. Multiple addresses + can be specified. + + In the following example, bgpd is started listening for connections on the + addresses 100.0.1.2 and fd00::2:2. The options -d (runs in daemon mode) and + -f (uses specific configuration file) are also used in this example as we + are likely to run multiple bgpd instances, each one with different + configurations, when using -l option. + + Note that this option implies the --no_kernel option, and no learned routes will be installed into the linux kernel. + +.. code-block:: shell + + # /usr/lib/frr/bgpd -d -f /some-folder/bgpd.conf -l 100.0.1.2 -l fd00::2:2 + +.. option:: -n, --no_kernel + + Do not install learned routes into the linux kernel. This option is useful + for a route-reflector environment or if you are running multiple bgp + processes in the same namespace. This option is different than the --no_zebra + option in that a ZAPI connection is made. + + This option can also be toggled during runtime by using the + ``[no] bgp no-rib`` commands in VTY shell. + + Note that this option will persist after saving the configuration during + runtime, unless unset by the ``no bgp no-rib`` command in VTY shell prior to + a configuration write operation. + +.. option:: -S, --skip_runas + + Skip the normal process of checking capabilities and changing user and group + information. + +.. option:: -e, --ecmp + + Run BGP with a limited ecmp capability, that is different than what BGP + was compiled with. The value specified must be greater than 0 and less + than or equal to the MULTIPATH_NUM specified on compilation. + +.. option:: -Z, --no_zebra + + Do not communicate with zebra at all. This is different than the --no_kernel + option in that we do not even open a ZAPI connection to the zebra process. + +.. option:: -s, --socket_size + + When opening tcp connections to our peers, set the socket send buffer + size that the kernel will use for the peers socket. This option + is only really useful at a very large scale. Experimentation should + be done to see if this is helping or not at the scale you are running + at. + +.. option:: --v6-with-v4-nexthops + + Allow BGP to peer in the V6 afi, when the interface only has v4 addresses. + This allows bgp to install the v6 routes with a v6 nexthop that has the + v4 address encoded in the nexthop. Zebra's equivalent option currently + overrides the bgp setting. This setting is only really usable when + the operator has turned off communication to zebra and is running bgpd + as a complete standalone process. + +LABEL MANAGER +------------- + +.. option:: -I, --int_num + + Set zclient id. This is required when using Zebra label manager in proxy mode. + +.. _bgp-basic-concepts: + +Basic Concepts +============== + +.. _bgp-autonomous-systems: + +Autonomous Systems +------------------ + +From :rfc:`1930`: + + An AS is a connected group of one or more IP prefixes run by one or more + network operators which has a SINGLE and CLEARLY DEFINED routing policy. + +Each AS has an identifying number associated with it called an :abbr:`ASN +(Autonomous System Number)`. This is a two octet value ranging in value from 1 +to 65535. The AS numbers 64512 through 65535 are defined as private AS numbers. +Private AS numbers must not be advertised on the global Internet. + +The :abbr:`ASN (Autonomous System Number)` is one of the essential elements of +BGP. BGP is a distance vector routing protocol, and the AS-Path framework +provides distance vector metric and loop detection to BGP. + +.. seealso:: :rfc:`1930` + +.. _bgp-address-families: + +Address Families +---------------- + +Multiprotocol extensions enable BGP to carry routing information for multiple +network layer protocols. BGP supports an Address Family Identifier (AFI) for +IPv4 and IPv6. Support is also provided for multiple sets of per-AFI +information via the BGP Subsequent Address Family Identifier (SAFI). FRR +supports SAFIs for unicast information, labeled information (:rfc:`3107` and +:rfc:`8277`), and Layer 3 VPN information (:rfc:`4364` and :rfc:`4659`). + +.. _bgp-route-selection: + +Route Selection +--------------- + +The route selection process used by FRR's BGP implementation uses the following +decision criterion, starting at the top of the list and going towards the +bottom until one of the factors can be used. + +1. **Weight check** + + Prefer higher local weight routes to lower routes. + +2. **Local preference check** + + Prefer higher local preference routes to lower. + + If ``bgp bestpath aigp`` is enabled, and both paths that are compared have + AIGP attribute, BGP uses AIGP tie-breaking unless both of the paths have the + AIGP metric attribute. This means that the AIGP attribute is not evaluated + during the best path selection process between two paths when one path does + not have the AIGP attribute. + +3. **Local route check** + + Prefer local routes (statics, aggregates, redistributed) to received routes. + +4. **AS path length check** + + Prefer shortest hop-count AS_PATHs. + +5. **Origin check** + + Prefer the lowest origin type route. That is, prefer IGP origin routes to + EGP, to Incomplete routes. + +6. **MED check** + + Where routes with a MED were received from the same AS, prefer the route + with the lowest MED. :ref:`bgp-med`. + +7. **External check** + + Prefer the route received from an external, eBGP peer over routes received + from other types of peers. + +8. **IGP cost check** + + Prefer the route with the lower IGP cost. + +9. **Multi-path check** + + If multi-pathing is enabled, then check whether the routes not yet + distinguished in preference may be considered equal. If + :clicmd:`bgp bestpath as-path multipath-relax` is set, all such routes are + considered equal, otherwise routes received via iBGP with identical AS_PATHs + or routes received from eBGP neighbours in the same AS are considered equal. + +10. **Already-selected external check** + + Where both routes were received from eBGP peers, then prefer the route + which is already selected. Note that this check is not applied if + :clicmd:`bgp bestpath compare-routerid` is configured. This check can + prevent some cases of oscillation. + +11. **Router-ID check** + + Prefer the route with the lowest `router-ID`. If the route has an + `ORIGINATOR_ID` attribute, through iBGP reflection, then that router ID is + used, otherwise the `router-ID` of the peer the route was received from is + used. + +12. **Cluster-List length check** + + The route with the shortest cluster-list length is used. The cluster-list + reflects the iBGP reflection path the route has taken. + +13. **Peer address** + + Prefer the route received from the peer with the higher transport layer + address, as a last-resort tie-breaker. + +.. _bgp-capability-negotiation: + +Capability Negotiation +---------------------- + +When adding IPv6 routing information exchange feature to BGP. There were some +proposals. :abbr:`IETF (Internet Engineering Task Force)` +:abbr:`IDR (Inter Domain Routing)` adopted a proposal called Multiprotocol +Extension for BGP. The specification is described in :rfc:`2283`. The protocol +does not define new protocols. It defines new attributes to existing BGP. When +it is used exchanging IPv6 routing information it is called BGP-4+. When it is +used for exchanging multicast routing information it is called MBGP. + +*bgpd* supports Multiprotocol Extension for BGP. So if a remote peer supports +the protocol, *bgpd* can exchange IPv6 and/or multicast routing information. + +Traditional BGP did not have the feature to detect a remote peer's +capabilities, e.g. whether it can handle prefix types other than IPv4 unicast +routes. This was a big problem using Multiprotocol Extension for BGP in an +operational network. :rfc:`2842` adopted a feature called Capability +Negotiation. *bgpd* use this Capability Negotiation to detect the remote peer's +capabilities. If a peer is only configured as an IPv4 unicast neighbor, *bgpd* +does not send these Capability Negotiation packets (at least not unless other +optional BGP features require capability negotiation). + +By default, FRR will bring up peering with minimal common capability for the +both sides. For example, if the local router has unicast and multicast +capabilities and the remote router only has unicast capability the local router +will establish the connection with unicast only capability. When there are no +common capabilities, FRR sends Unsupported Capability error and then resets the +connection. + +.. _bgp-router-configuration: + +BGP Router Configuration +======================== + +ASN and Router ID +----------------- + +First of all you must configure BGP router with the :clicmd:`router bgp ASN` +command. The AS number is an identifier for the autonomous system. The AS +identifier can either be a number or two numbers separated by a period. The +BGP protocol uses the AS identifier for detecting whether the BGP connection is +internal or external. + +.. clicmd:: router bgp ASN + + Enable a BGP protocol process with the specified ASN. After + this statement you can input any `BGP Commands`. + +.. clicmd:: bgp router-id A.B.C.D + + This command specifies the router-ID. If *bgpd* connects to *zebra* it gets + interface and address information. In that case default router ID value is + selected as the largest IP Address of the interfaces. When `router zebra` is + not enabled *bgpd* can't get interface information so `router-id` is set to + 0.0.0.0. So please set router-id by hand. + + +.. _bgp-multiple-autonomous-systems: + +Multiple Autonomous Systems +--------------------------- + +FRR's BGP implementation is capable of running multiple autonomous systems at +once. Each configured AS corresponds to a :ref:`zebra-vrf`. In the past, to get +the same functionality the network administrator had to run a new *bgpd* +process; using VRFs allows multiple autonomous systems to be handled in a +single process. + +When using multiple autonomous systems, all router config blocks after the +first one must specify a VRF to be the target of BGP's route selection. This +VRF must be unique within respect to all other VRFs being used for the same +purpose, i.e. two different autonomous systems cannot use the same VRF. +However, the same AS can be used with different VRFs. + +.. note:: + + The separated nature of VRFs makes it possible to peer a single *bgpd* + process to itself, on one machine. Note that this can be done fully within + BGP without a corresponding VRF in the kernel or Zebra, which enables some + practical use cases such as :ref:`route reflectors ` + and route servers. + +Configuration of additional autonomous systems, or of a router that targets a +specific VRF, is accomplished with the following command: + +.. clicmd:: router bgp ASN vrf VRFNAME + + ``VRFNAME`` is matched against VRFs configured in the kernel. When ``vrf + VRFNAME`` is not specified, the BGP protocol process belongs to the default + VRF. + +An example configuration with multiple autonomous systems might look like this: + +.. code-block:: frr + + router bgp 1 + neighbor 10.0.0.1 remote-as 20 + neighbor 10.0.0.2 remote-as 30 + ! + router bgp 2 vrf blue + neighbor 10.0.0.3 remote-as 40 + neighbor 10.0.0.4 remote-as 50 + ! + router bgp 3 vrf red + neighbor 10.0.0.5 remote-as 60 + neighbor 10.0.0.6 remote-as 70 + ... + +.. seealso:: :ref:`bgp-vrf-route-leaking` +.. seealso:: :ref:`zebra-vrf` + + +.. _bgp-views: + +Views +----- + +In addition to supporting multiple autonomous systems, FRR's BGP implementation +also supports *views*. + +BGP views are almost the same as normal BGP processes, except that routes +selected by BGP are not installed into the kernel routing table. Each BGP view +provides an independent set of routing information which is only distributed +via BGP. Multiple views can be supported, and BGP view information is always +independent from other routing protocols and Zebra/kernel routes. BGP views use +the core instance (i.e., default VRF) for communication with peers. + +.. clicmd:: router bgp AS-NUMBER view NAME + + Make a new BGP view. You can use an arbitrary word for the ``NAME``. Routes + selected by the view are not installed into the kernel routing table. + + With this command, you can setup Route Server like below. + + .. code-block:: frr + + ! + router bgp 1 view 1 + neighbor 10.0.0.1 remote-as 2 + neighbor 10.0.0.2 remote-as 3 + ! + router bgp 2 view 2 + neighbor 10.0.0.3 remote-as 4 + neighbor 10.0.0.4 remote-as 5 + +.. clicmd:: show [ip] bgp view NAME + + Display the routing table of BGP view ``NAME``. + + +Route Selection +--------------- + +.. clicmd:: bgp bestpath as-path confed + + This command specifies that the length of confederation path sets and + sequences should should be taken into account during the BGP best path + decision process. + +.. clicmd:: bgp bestpath as-path multipath-relax + + This command specifies that BGP decision process should consider paths + of equal AS_PATH length candidates for multipath computation. Without + the knob, the entire AS_PATH must match for multipath computation. + +.. clicmd:: bgp bestpath compare-routerid + + Ensure that when comparing routes where both are equal on most metrics, + including local-pref, AS_PATH length, IGP cost, MED, that the tie is broken + based on router-ID. + + If this option is enabled, then the already-selected check, where + already selected eBGP routes are preferred, is skipped. + + If a route has an `ORIGINATOR_ID` attribute because it has been reflected, + that `ORIGINATOR_ID` will be used. Otherwise, the router-ID of the peer the + route was received from will be used. + + The advantage of this is that the route-selection (at this point) will be + more deterministic. The disadvantage is that a few or even one lowest-ID + router may attract all traffic to otherwise-equal paths because of this + check. It may increase the possibility of MED or IGP oscillation, unless + other measures were taken to avoid these. The exact behaviour will be + sensitive to the iBGP and reflection topology. + +.. clicmd:: bgp bestpath peer-type multipath-relax + + This command specifies that BGP decision process should consider paths + from all peers for multipath computation. If this option is enabled, + paths learned from any of eBGP, iBGP, or confederation neighbors will + be multipath if they are otherwise considered equal cost. + +.. clicmd:: bgp bestpath aigp + + Use the bgp bestpath aigp command to evaluate the AIGP attribute during + the best path selection process between two paths that have the AIGP + attribute. + + When bgp bestpath aigp is disabled, BGP does not use AIGP tie-breaking + rules unless paths have the AIGP attribute. + + Disabled by default. + +.. clicmd:: maximum-paths (1-128) + + Sets the maximum-paths value used for ecmp calculations for this + bgp instance in EBGP. The maximum value listed, 128, can be limited by + the ecmp cli for bgp or if the daemon was compiled with a lower + ecmp value. This value can also be set in ipv4/ipv6 unicast/labeled + unicast to only affect those particular afi/safi's. + +.. clicmd:: maximum-paths ibgp (1-128) [equal-cluster-length] + + Sets the maximum-paths value used for ecmp calculations for this + bgp instance in IBGP. The maximum value listed, 128, can be limited by + the ecmp cli for bgp or if the daemon was compiled with a lower + ecmp value. This value can also be set in ipv4/ipv6 unicast/labeled + unicast to only affect those particular afi/safi's. + +.. _bgp-distance: + +Administrative Distance Metrics +------------------------------- + +.. clicmd:: distance bgp (1-255) (1-255) (1-255) + + This command changes distance value of BGP. The arguments are the distance + values for external routes, internal routes and local routes + respectively. + +.. clicmd:: distance (1-255) A.B.C.D/M + +.. clicmd:: distance (1-255) A.B.C.D/M WORD + + Sets the administrative distance for a particular route. + + If the system has a static route configured from the kernel, it has a + distance of 0. In some cases, it might be useful to override the route + from the FRR. E.g.: Kernel has a statically configured default route, + and you received another default route from the BGP and want to install + it to be preferred over the static route. In such a case, you MUST set + a higher distance from the kernel. + + .. seealso:: :ref:`administrative-distance` + +.. _bgp-requires-policy: + +Require policy on EBGP +---------------------- + +.. clicmd:: bgp ebgp-requires-policy + + This command requires incoming and outgoing filters to be applied + for eBGP sessions as part of RFC-8212 compliance. Without the incoming + filter, no routes will be accepted. Without the outgoing filter, no + routes will be announced. + + This is enabled by default for the traditional configuration and + turned off by default for datacenter configuration. + + When you enable/disable this option you MUST clear the session. + + When the incoming or outgoing filter is missing you will see + "(Policy)" sign under ``show bgp summary``: + + .. code-block:: frr + + exit1# show bgp summary + + IPv4 Unicast Summary (VRF default): + BGP router identifier 10.10.10.1, local AS number 65001 vrf-id 0 + BGP table version 4 + RIB entries 7, using 1344 bytes of memory + Peers 2, using 43 KiB of memory + + Neighbor V AS MsgRcvd MsgSent TblVer InQ OutQ Up/Down State/PfxRcd PfxSnt Desc + 192.168.0.2 4 65002 8 10 0 0 0 00:03:09 5 (Policy) N/A + fe80:1::2222 4 65002 9 11 0 0 0 00:03:09 (Policy) (Policy) N/A + + Additionally a `show bgp neighbor` command would indicate in the `For address family:` + block that: + + .. code-block:: frr + + exit1# show bgp neighbor + ... + For address family: IPv4 Unicast + Update group 1, subgroup 1 + Packet Queue length 0 + Inbound soft reconfiguration allowed + Community attribute sent to this neighbor(all) + Inbound updates discarded due to missing policy + Outbound updates discarded due to missing policy + 0 accepted prefixes + +Reject routes with AS_SET or AS_CONFED_SET types +------------------------------------------------ + +.. clicmd:: bgp reject-as-sets + + This command enables rejection of incoming and outgoing routes having AS_SET or AS_CONFED_SET type. + +Suppress duplicate updates +-------------------------- + +.. clicmd:: bgp suppress-duplicates + + For example, BGP routers can generate multiple identical announcements with + empty community attributes if stripped at egress.

These properties and problems +have proven to be hard to understand, at least historically, and may still not +be widely understood. The following attempts to collect together and present +what is known about MED, to help operators and FRR users in designing and +configuring their networks. + +The BGP :abbr:`MED` attribute is intended to allow one AS to indicate its +preferences for its ingress points to another AS. The MED attribute will not be +propagated on to another AS by the receiving AS - it is 'non-transitive' in the +BGP sense. + +E.g., if AS X and AS Y have 2 different BGP peering points, then AS X might set +a MED of 100 on routes advertised at one and a MED of 200 at the other. When AS +Y selects between otherwise equal routes to or via AS X, AS Y should prefer to +take the path via the lower MED peering of 100 with AS X. Setting the MED +allows an AS to influence the routing taken to it within another, neighbouring +AS. + +In this use of MED it is not really meaningful to compare the MED value on +routes where the next AS on the paths differs. E.g., if AS Y also had a route +for some destination via AS Z in addition to the routes from AS X, and AS Z had +also set a MED, it wouldn't make sense for AS Y to compare AS Z's MED values to +those of AS X. The MED values have been set by different administrators, with +different frames of reference. + +The default behaviour of BGP therefore is to not compare MED values across +routes received from different neighbouring ASes. In FRR this is done by +comparing the neighbouring, left-most AS in the received AS_PATHs of the routes +and only comparing MED if those are the same. + +Unfortunately, this behaviour of MED, of sometimes being compared across routes +and sometimes not, depending on the properties of those other routes, means MED +can cause the order of preference over all the routes to be undefined. That is, +given routes A, B, and C, if A is preferred to B, and B is preferred to C, then +a well-defined order should mean the preference is transitive (in the sense of +orders [#med-transitivity-rant]_) and that A would be preferred to C. + +However, when MED is involved this need not be the case. With MED it is +possible that C is actually preferred over A. So A is preferred to B, B is +preferred to C, but C is preferred to A. This can be true even where BGP +defines a deterministic 'most preferred' route out of the full set of A,B,C. +With MED, for any given set of routes there may be a deterministically +preferred route, but there need not be any way to arrange them into any order +of preference. With unmodified MED, the order of preference of routes literally +becomes undefined. + +That MED can induce non-transitive preferences over routes can cause issues. +Firstly, it may be perceived to cause routing table churn locally at speakers; +secondly, and more seriously, it may cause routing instability in iBGP +topologies, where sets of speakers continually oscillate between different +paths. + +The first issue arises from how speakers often implement routing decisions. +Though BGP defines a selection process that will deterministically select the +same route as best at any given speaker, even with MED, that process requires +evaluating all routes together. For performance and ease of implementation +reasons, many implementations evaluate route preferences in a pair-wise fashion +instead. Given there is no well-defined order when MED is involved, the best +route that will be chosen becomes subject to implementation details, such as +the order the routes are stored in. That may be (locally) non-deterministic, +e.g.: it may be the order the routes were received in. + +This indeterminism may be considered undesirable, though it need not cause +problems. It may mean additional routing churn is perceived, as sometimes more +updates may be produced than at other times in reaction to some event . + +This first issue can be fixed with a more deterministic route selection that +ensures routes are ordered by the neighbouring AS during selection. +:clicmd:`bgp deterministic-med`. This may reduce the number of updates as routes +are received, and may in some cases reduce routing churn. Though, it could +equally deterministically produce the largest possible set of updates in +response to the most common sequence of received updates. + +A deterministic order of evaluation tends to imply an additional overhead of +sorting over any set of n routes to a destination. The implementation of +deterministic MED in FRR scales significantly worse than most sorting +algorithms at present, with the number of paths to a given destination. That +number is often low enough to not cause any issues, but where there are many +paths, the deterministic comparison may quickly become increasingly expensive +in terms of CPU. + +Deterministic local evaluation can *not* fix the second, more major, issue of +MED however. Which is that the non-transitive preference of routes MED can +cause may lead to routing instability or oscillation across multiple speakers +in iBGP topologies. This can occur with full-mesh iBGP, but is particularly +problematic in non-full-mesh iBGP topologies that further reduce the routing +information known to each speaker. This has primarily been documented with iBGP +:ref:`route-reflection ` topologies. However, any +route-hiding technologies potentially could also exacerbate oscillation with MED. + +This second issue occurs where speakers each have only a subset of routes, and +there are cycles in the preferences between different combinations of routes - +as the undefined order of preference of MED allows - and the routes are +distributed in a way that causes the BGP speakers to 'chase' those cycles. This +can occur even if all speakers use a deterministic order of evaluation in route +selection. + +E.g., speaker 4 in AS A might receive a route from speaker 2 in AS X, and from +speaker 3 in AS Y; while speaker 5 in AS A might receive that route from +speaker 1 in AS Y. AS Y might set a MED of 200 at speaker 1, and 100 at speaker +3. I.e, using ASN:ID:MED to label the speakers: + +:: + + . + /---------------\\ + X:2------|--A:4-------A:5--|-Y:1:200 + Y:3:100--|-/ | + \\---------------/ + + + +Assuming all other metrics are equal (AS_PATH, ORIGIN, 0 IGP costs), then based +on the RFC4271 decision process speaker 4 will choose X:2 over Y:3:100, based +on the lower ID of 2. Speaker 4 advertises X:2 to speaker 5. Speaker 5 will +continue to prefer Y:1:200 based on the ID, and advertise this to speaker 4. +Speaker 4 will now have the full set of routes, and the Y:1:200 it receives +from 5 will beat X:2, but when speaker 4 compares Y:1:200 to Y:3:100 the MED +check now becomes active as the ASes match, and now Y:3:100 is preferred. +Speaker 4 therefore now advertises Y:3:100 to 5, which will also agrees that +Y:3:100 is preferred to Y:1:200, and so withdraws the latter route from 4. +Speaker 4 now has only X:2 and Y:3:100, and X:2 beats Y:3:100, and so speaker 4 +implicitly updates its route to speaker 5 to X:2. Speaker 5 sees that Y:1:200 +beats X:2 based on the ID, and advertises Y:1:200 to speaker 4, and the cycle +continues. + +The root cause is the lack of a clear order of preference caused by how MED +sometimes is and sometimes is not compared, leading to this cycle in the +preferences between the routes: + +:: + + . + /---> X:2 ---beats---> Y:3:100 --\\ + | | + | | + \\---beats--- Y:1:200 <---beats---/ + + + +This particular type of oscillation in full-mesh iBGP topologies can be +avoided by speakers preferring already selected, external routes rather than +choosing to update to new a route based on a post-MED metric (e.g. router-ID), +at the cost of a non-deterministic selection process. FRR implements this, as +do many other implementations, so long as it is not overridden by setting +:clicmd:`bgp bestpath compare-routerid`, and see also +:ref:`bgp-route-selection`. + +However, more complex and insidious cycles of oscillation are possible with +iBGP route-reflection, which are not so easily avoided. These have been +documented in various places. See, e.g.: + +- [bgp-route-osci-cond]_ +- [stable-flexible-ibgp]_ +- [ibgp-correctness]_ + +for concrete examples and further references. + +There is as of this writing *no* known way to use MED for its original purpose; +*and* reduce routing information in iBGP topologies; *and* be sure to avoid the +instability problems of MED due the non-transitive routing preferences it can +induce; in general on arbitrary networks. + +There may be iBGP topology specific ways to reduce the instability risks, even +while using MED, e.g.: by constraining the reflection topology and by tuning +IGP costs between route-reflector clusters, see :rfc:`3345` for details. In the +near future, the Add-Path extension to BGP may also solve MED oscillation while +still allowing MED to be used as intended, by distributing "best-paths per +neighbour AS". This would be at the cost of distributing at least as many +routes to all speakers as a full-mesh iBGP would, if not more, while also +imposing similar CPU overheads as the "Deterministic MED" feature at each +Add-Path reflector. + +More generally, the instability problems that MED can introduce on more +complex, non-full-mesh, iBGP topologies may be avoided either by: + +- Setting :clicmd:`bgp always-compare-med`, however this allows MED to be compared + across values set by different neighbour ASes, which may not produce + coherent desirable results, of itself. +- Effectively ignoring MED by setting MED to the same value (e.g.: 0) using + :clicmd:`set metric METRIC` on all received routes, in combination with + setting :clicmd:`bgp always-compare-med` on all speakers. This is the simplest + and most performant way to avoid MED oscillation issues, where an AS is happy + not to allow neighbours to inject this problematic metric. + +As MED is evaluated after the AS_PATH length check, another possible use for +MED is for intra-AS steering of routes with equal AS_PATH length, as an +extension of the last case above. As MED is evaluated before IGP metric, this +can allow cold-potato routing to be implemented to send traffic to preferred +hand-offs with neighbours, rather than the closest hand-off according to the +IGP metric. + +Note that even if action is taken to address the MED non-transitivity issues, +other oscillations may still be possible.

This "down/up" transition results in a +"routing flap" and causes BGP route re-computation, generation of BGP routing +updates, and unnecessary churn to the forwarding tables. + +The following functionality is provided by graceful restart: + +1. The feature allows the restarting router to indicate to the helping peer the + routes it can preserve in its forwarding plane during control plane restart + by sending graceful restart capability in the OPEN message sent during + session establishment. Graceful restart notification flag and/or restart + time can also be changed during the dynamic BGP capabilities. If using + dynamic capabilities, no session reset is required, thus it's very useful + to increase restart time before doing a software upgrade or so. +2.

At the same time it requires a new framework for policy routing. +With BGP Extended Communities Attribute we can use Route Target or Site of +Origin for implementing network policy for MPLS VPN/BGP. + +BGP Extended Communities Attribute is similar to BGP Communities Attribute. It +is an optional transitive attribute. BGP Extended Communities Attribute can +carry multiple Extended Community value. Each Extended Community value is +eight octet length. + +BGP Extended Communities Attribute provides an extended range compared with BGP +Communities Attribute. Adding to that there is a type field in each value to +provides community space structure. + +There are two format to define Extended Community value. One is AS based format +the other is IP address based format. + +``AS:VAL`` + This is a format to define AS based Extended Community value. ``AS`` part + is 2 octets Global Administrator subfield in Extended Community value. + ``VAL`` part is 4 octets Local Administrator subfield. ``7675:100`` + represents AS 7675 policy value 100. + +``IP-Address:VAL`` + This is a format to define IP address based Extended Community value. + ``IP-Address`` part is 4 octets Global Administrator subfield. ``VAL`` part + is 2 octets Local Administrator subfield. + +.. _bgp-extended-community-lists: + +Extended Community Lists +^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ + +.. clicmd:: bgp extcommunity-list standard NAME permit|deny EXTCOMMUNITY + + This command defines a new standard extcommunity-list. `extcommunity` is + extended communities value. The `extcommunity` is compiled into extended + community structure. We can define multiple extcommunity-list under same + name. In that case match will happen user defined order. Once the + extcommunity-list matches to extended communities attribute in BGP updates + it return permit or deny based upon the extcommunity-list definition.

Large Communities bring additional functionality and convenience +over traditional communities, specifically the fact that the ``GLOBAL`` part +below is now 4 octets wide allowing seamless use in networks using 4-byte ASNs. + +``GLOBAL:LOCAL1:LOCAL2`` + This is the format to define Large Community values. Referencing :rfc:`8195` + the values are commonly referred to as follows: + + - The ``GLOBAL`` part is a 4 octet Global Administrator field, commonly used + as the operators AS number. + - The ``LOCAL1`` part is a 4 octet Local Data Part 1 subfield referred to as + a function. + - The ``LOCAL2`` part is a 4 octet Local Data Part 2 field and referred to + as the parameter subfield. + + As an example, ``65551:1:10`` represents AS 65551 function 1 and parameter + 10. The referenced RFC above gives some guidelines on recommended usage. + +.. _bgp-large-community-lists: + +Large Community Lists +""""""""""""""""""""" + +Two types of large community lists are supported, namely `standard` and +`expanded`. + +.. clicmd:: bgp large-community-list standard NAME permit|deny LARGE-COMMUNITY + + This command defines a new standard large-community-list. `large-community` + is the Large Community value. We can add multiple large communities under + same name. In that case the match will happen in the user defined order. + Once the large-community-list matches the Large Communities attribute in BGP + updates it will return permit or deny based upon the large-community-list + definition. When there is no matched entry, a deny will be returned. When + `large-community` is empty it matches any routes. + +.. clicmd:: bgp large-community-list expanded NAME permit|deny LINE + + This command defines a new expanded large-community-list. Where `line` is a + string matching expression, it will be compared to the entire Large + Communities attribute as a string, with each large-community in order from + lowest to highest. `line` can also be a regular expression which matches + this Large Community attribute. + + Note that all community lists share the same namespace, so it's not + necessary to specify ``standard`` or ``expanded``; these modifiers are + purely aesthetic. + +.. clicmd:: show bgp large-community-list + +.. clicmd:: show bgp large-community-list NAME detail + + This command display current large-community-list information.

Multiple large-community values can be specified. + +Note that the large expanded community is only used for `match` rule, not for +`set` actions. + +.. _bgp-roles-and-only-to-customers: + +BGP Roles and Only to Customers +------------------------------- + +BGP roles are defined in :rfc:`9234` and provide an easy way to route leaks +prevention, detection and mitigation. + +To enable its mechanics, you must set your local role to reflect your type of +peering relationship with your neighbor. Possible values of ``LOCAL-ROLE`` are: + +- provider +- rs-server +- rs-client +- customer +- peer + +The local Role value is negotiated with the new BGP Role capability with a +built-in check of the corresponding value.

Otherwise, a Role + Mismatch Notification will be sent. + +Labeled unicast +--------------- + +*bgpd* supports labeled information, as per :rfc:`3107`. + +.. clicmd:: bgp labeled-unicast + +By default, locally advertised prefixes use the `implicit-null` label to +encode in the outgoing NLRI. The following command uses the `explicit-null` +label value for all the BGP instances. + +.. _bgp-l3vpn-vrfs: + +L3VPN VRFs +---------- + +*bgpd* supports :abbr:`L3VPN (Layer 3 Virtual Private Networks)` :abbr:`VRFs +(Virtual Routing and Forwarding)` for IPv4 :rfc:`4364` and IPv6 :rfc:`4659`. +L3VPN routes, and their associated VRF MPLS labels, can be distributed to VPN +SAFI neighbors in the *default*, i.e., non VRF, BGP instance. VRF MPLS labels +are reached using *core* MPLS labels which are distributed using LDP or BGP +labeled unicast. *bgpd* also supports inter-VRF route leaking. + + +L3VPN over GRE interfaces +^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ + +In MPLS-VPN or SRv6-VPN, an L3VPN next-hop entry requires that the path +chosen respectively contains a labelled path or a valid SID IPv6 address. +Otherwise the L3VPN entry will not be installed. It is possible to ignore +that check when the path chosen by the next-hop uses a GRE interface, and +there is a route-map configured at inbound side of ipv4-vpn or ipv6-vpn +address family with following syntax: + +.. clicmd:: set l3vpn next-hop encapsulation gre + +The incoming BGP L3VPN entry is accepted, provided that the next hop of the +L3VPN entry uses a path that takes the GRE tunnel as outgoing interface. The +remote endpoint should be configured just behind the GRE tunnel; remote +device configuration may vary depending whether it acts at edge endpoint or +not: in any case, the expectation is that incoming MPLS traffic received at +this endpoint should be considered as a valid path for L3VPN. + +.. _bgp-vrf-route-leaking: + +VRF Route Leaking +----------------- + +BGP routes may be leaked (i.e. copied) between a unicast VRF RIB and the VPN +SAFI RIB of the default VRF for use in MPLS-based L3VPNs. Unicast routes may +also be leaked between any VRFs (including the unicast RIB of the default BGP +instanced). A shortcut syntax is also available for specifying leaking from one +VRF to another VRF using the default instance's VPN RIB as the intermediary. A +common application of the VRF-VRF feature is to connect a customer's private +routing domain to a provider's VPN service. Leaking is configured from the +point of view of an individual VRF: ``import`` refers to routes leaked from VPN +to a unicast VRF, whereas ``export`` refers to routes leaked from a unicast VRF +to VPN. + +Required parameters +^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ + +Routes exported from a unicast VRF to the VPN RIB must be augmented by two +parameters: + +- an :abbr:`RD (Route Distinguisher)` +- an :abbr:`RTLIST (Route-target List)` + +Configuration for these exported routes must, at a minimum, specify these two +parameters. + +Routes imported from the VPN RIB to a unicast VRF are selected according to +their RTLISTs. Routes whose RTLIST contains at least one route-target in +common with the configured import RTLIST are leaked. Configuration for these +imported routes must specify an RTLIST to be matched. + +The RD, which carries no semantic value, is intended to make the route unique +in the VPN RIB among all routes of its prefix that originate from all the +customers and sites that are attached to the provider's VPN service. +Accordingly, each site of each customer is typically assigned an RD that is +unique across the entire provider network. + +The RTLIST is a set of route-target extended community values whose purpose is +to specify route-leaking policy. Typically, a customer is assigned a single +route-target value for import and export to be used at all customer sites. This +configuration specifies a simple topology wherein a customer has a single +routing domain which is shared across all its sites. More complex routing +topologies are possible through use of additional route-targets to augment the +leaking of sets of routes in various ways. + +When using the shortcut syntax for vrf-to-vrf leaking, the RD and RT are +auto-derived. + +General configuration +^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ + +Configuration of route leaking between a unicast VRF RIB and the VPN SAFI RIB +of the default VRF is accomplished via commands in the context of a VRF +address-family: + +.. clicmd:: rd vpn export AS:NN|IP:nn + + Specifies the route distinguisher to be added to a route exported from the + current unicast VRF to VPN. + +.. clicmd:: rt vpn import|export|both RTLIST... + + Specifies the route-target list to be attached to a route (export) or the + route-target list to match against (import) when exporting/importing between + the current unicast VRF and VPN. + + The RTLIST is a space-separated list of route-targets, which are BGP + extended community values as described in + :ref:`bgp-extended-communities-attribute`. + +.. clicmd:: label vpn export allocation-mode per-vrf|per-nexthop + + Select how labels are allocated in the given VRF. By default, the `per-vrf` + mode is selected, and one label is used for all prefixes from the VRF.

If Zebra + is not running, or if this command is not configured, automatic label + assignment will not complete, which will block corresponding route export. + +.. clicmd:: nexthop vpn export A.B.C.D|X:X::X:X + + Specifies an optional nexthop value to be assigned to a route exported from + the current unicast VRF to VPN. If left unspecified, the nexthop will be set + to 0.0.0.0 or 0:0::0:0 (self). + +.. clicmd:: route-map vpn import|export MAP + + Specifies an optional route-map to be applied to routes imported or exported + between the current unicast VRF and VPN. + +.. clicmd:: import|export vpn + + Enables import or export of routes between the current unicast VRF and VPN. + +.. clicmd:: import vrf VRFNAME + + Shortcut syntax for specifying automatic leaking from vrf VRFNAME to + the current VRF using the VPN RIB as intermediary. The RD and RT + are auto derived and should not be specified explicitly for either the + source or destination VRF's. + + This shortcut syntax mode is not compatible with the explicit + `import vpn` and `export vpn` statements for the two VRF's involved. + The CLI will disallow attempts to configure incompatible leaking + modes. + +.. clicmd:: bgp retain route-target all + +It is possible to retain or not VPN prefixes that are not imported by local +VRF configuration. This can be done via the following command in the context +of the global VPNv4/VPNv6 family.

The Locator name must + be set in zebra, but user can set it in any order. + +General configuration +^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ + +Configuration of the SRv6 SID used to advertise a L3VPN for both IPv4 and IPv6 +is accomplished via the following command in the context of a VRF: + +.. clicmd:: sid vpn per-vrf export (1..1048575)|auto + + Enables a SRv6 SID to be attached to a route exported from the current + unicast VRF to VPN. A single SID is used for both IPv4 and IPv6 address + families. If you want to set a SID for only IPv4 address family or IPv6 + address family, you need to use the command ``sid vpn export (1..1048575)|auto`` + in the context of an address-family. If the value specified is ``auto``, + the SID value is automatically assigned from a pool maintained by the Zebra + daemon. If Zebra is not running, or if this command is not configured, automatic + SID assignment will not complete, which will block corresponding route export. + +.. _bgp-evpn: + +Ethernet Virtual Network - EVPN +------------------------------- + +Note: When using EVPN features and if you have a large number of hosts, make +sure to adjust the size of the arp neighbor cache to avoid neighbor table +overflow and/or excessive garbage collection. On Linux, the size of the table +and garbage collection frequency can be controlled via the following +sysctl configurations: + +.. code-block:: shell + + net.ipv4.neigh.default.gc_thresh1 + net.ipv4.neigh.default.gc_thresh2 + net.ipv4.neigh.default.gc_thresh3 + + net.ipv6.neigh.default.gc_thresh1 + net.ipv6.neigh.default.gc_thresh2 + net.ipv6.neigh.default.gc_thresh3 + +For more information, see ``man 7 arp``. + +.. _bgp-enabling-evpn: + +Enabling EVPN +^^^^^^^^^^^^^ + +EVPN should be enabled on the BGP instance corresponding to the VRF acting as +the underlay for the VXLAN tunneling.

This is +useful in datacenter deployments with Downstream VNI. ``auto`` is used to +retain the autoconfigure that is default behavior for L3 RTs. + +.. _bgp-evpn-advertise-pip: + +EVPN advertise-PIP +^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ + +In a EVPN symmetric routing MLAG deployment, all EVPN routes advertised +with anycast-IP as next-hop IP and anycast MAC as the Router MAC (RMAC - in +BGP EVPN Extended-Community). +EVPN picks up the next-hop IP from the VxLAN interface's local tunnel IP and +the RMAC is obtained from the MAC of the L3VNI's SVI interface. +Note: Next-hop IP is used for EVPN routes whether symmetric routing is +deployed or not but the RMAC is only relevant for symmetric routing scenario. + +Current behavior is not ideal for Prefix (type-5) and self (type-2) +routes. This is because the traffic from remote VTEPs routed sub optimally +if they land on the system where the route does not belong. + +The advertise-pip feature advertises Prefix (type-5) and self (type-2) +routes with system's individual (primary) IP as the next-hop and individual +(system) MAC as Router-MAC (RMAC), while leaving the behavior unchanged for +other EVPN routes. + +To support this feature there needs to have ability to co-exist a +(system-MAC, system-IP) pair with a (anycast-MAC, anycast-IP) pair with the +ability to terminate VxLAN-encapsulated packets received for either pair on +the same L3VNI (i.e associated VLAN). This capability is needed per tenant +VRF instance. + +To derive the system-MAC and the anycast MAC, there must be a +separate/additional MAC-VLAN interface corresponding to L3VNI’s SVI. +The SVI interface’s MAC address can be interpreted as system-MAC +and MAC-VLAN interface's MAC as anycast MAC. + +To derive system-IP and anycast-IP, the default BGP instance's router-id is used +as system-IP and the VxLAN interface’s local tunnel IP as the anycast-IP. + +User has an option to configure the system-IP and/or system-MAC value if the +auto derived value is not preferred. + +Note: By default, advertise-pip feature is enabled and user has an option to +disable the feature via configuration CLI. Once the feature is disabled under +bgp vrf instance or MAC-VLAN interface is not configured, all the routes follow +the same behavior of using same next-hop and RMAC values. + +.. clicmd:: advertise-pip [ip [mac ]] + +Enables or disables advertise-pip feature, specify system-IP and/or system-MAC +parameters. + +EVPN advertise-svi-ip +^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ +Typically, the SVI IP address is reused on VTEPs across multiple racks. However, +if you have unique SVI IP addresses that you want to be reachable you can use the +advertise-svi-ip option. This option advertises the SVI IP/MAC address as a type-2 +route and eliminates the need for any flooding over VXLAN to reach the IP from a +remote VTEP. + +.. clicmd:: advertise-svi-ip + +Note that you should not enable both the advertise-svi-ip and the advertise-default-gw +at the same time. + +.. _bgp-evpn-overlay-index-gateway-ip: + +EVPN Overlay Index Gateway IP +^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ +RFC https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc9136 explains the use of overlay +indexes for recursive route resolution for EVPN type-5 route. + +We support gateway IP overlay index. +A gateway IP, advertised with EVPN prefix route, is used to find an EVPN MAC/IP +route with its IP field same as the gateway IP. This MAC/IP entry provides the +nexthop VTEP and the tunnel information required for the VxLAN encapsulation. + +Functionality: + +:: + + . +--------+ BGP +--------+ BGP +--------+ +--------+ + SN1 | | IPv4 | | EVPN | | | | + ======+ Host1 +------+ PE1 +------+ PE2 +------+ Host2 + + | | | | | | | | + +--------+ +--------+ +--------+ +--------+ + +Consider above topology where prefix SN1 is connected behind host1. Host1 +advertises SN1 to PE1 over BGP IPv4 session. PE1 advertises SN1 to PE2 using +EVPN type-5 route with host1 IP as the gateway IP. PE1 also advertises +Host1 MAC/IP as type-2 route which is used to resolve host1 gateway IP. + +PE2 receives this type-5 route and imports it into the vrf based on route +targets. BGP prefix imported into the vrf uses gateway IP as its BGP nexthop. +This route is installed into zebra if following conditions are satisfied: + +1. Gateway IP nexthop is L3 reachable. +2. PE2 has received EVPN type-2 route with IP field set to gateway IP. + +Topology requirements: + +1. This feature is supported for asymmetric routing model only. While + sending packets to SN1, ingress PE (PE2) performs routing and + egress PE (PE1) performs only bridging. +2. This feature supports only traditional(non vlan-aware) bridge model. Bridge + interface associated with L2VNI is an L3 interface. i.e., this interface is + configured with an address in the L2VNI subnet. Note that the gateway IP + should also have an address in the same subnet. +3. As this feature works in asymmetric routing model, all L2VNIs and corresponding + VxLAN and bridge interfaces should be present at all the PEs. +4. L3VNI configuration is required to generate and import EVPN type-5 routes. + L3VNI VxLAN and bridge interfaces also should be present. + +A PE can use one of the following two mechanisms to advertise an EVPN type-5 +route with gateway IP. + +1. CLI to add gateway IP while generating EVPN type-5 route from a BGP IPv4/IPv6 +prefix: + +.. clicmd:: advertise unicast [gateway-ip] + +When this CLI is configured for a BGP vrf under L2VPN EVPN address family, EVPN +type-5 routes are generated for BGP prefixes in the vrf. Nexthop of the BGP +prefix becomes the gateway IP of the corresponding type-5 route. + +If the above command is configured without the "gateway-ip" keyword, type-5 +routes are generated without overlay index. + +2. Add gateway IP to EVPN type-5 route using a route-map: + +.. clicmd:: set evpn gateway-ip + +When route-map with above set clause is applied as outbound policy in BGP, it +will set the gateway-ip in EVPN type-5 NLRI. + +Example configuration: + +.. code-block:: frr + + router bgp 100 + neighbor 192.168.0.1 remote-as 101 + ! + address-family ipv4 l2vpn evpn + neighbor 192.168.0.1 route-map RMAP out + exit-address-family + ! + route-map RMAP permit 10 + set evpn gateway-ip 10.0.0.1 + set evpn gateway-ip 10::1 + +A PE that receives a type-5 route with gateway IP overlay index should have +"enable-resolve-overlay-index" configuration enabled to recursively resolve the +overlay index nexthop and install the prefix into zebra. + +.. clicmd:: enable-resolve-overlay-index + +Example configuration: + +.. code-block:: frr + + router bgp 65001 + bgp router-id 192.168.100.1 + no bgp ebgp-requires-policy + neighbor 10.0.1.2 remote-as 65002 + ! + address-family l2vpn evpn + neighbor 10.0.1.2 activate + advertise-all-vni + enable-resolve-overlay-index + exit-address-family + ! + +.. _bgp-evpn-mac-vrf-site-of-origin: + +EVPN MAC-VRF Site-of-Origin +^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ +In some EVPN deployments it is useful to associate a logical VTEP's Layer 2 +domain (MAC-VRF) with a Site-of-Origin "site" identifier. This provides a +BGP topology-independent means of marking and import-filtering EVPN routes +originated from a particular L2 domain. One situation where this is valuable +is when deploying EVPN using anycast VTEPs, i.e. Active/Active MLAG, as it +can be used to avoid ownership conflicts between the two control planes +(EVPN vs MLAG). + +Example Use Case (MLAG Anycast VTEPs): + +During normal operation, an MLAG VTEP will advertise EVPN routes for attached +hosts using a shared anycast IP as the BGP next-hop. It is expected for its +MLAG peer to drop routes originated by the MLAG Peer since they have a Martian +(self) next-hop. However, prior to the anycast IP being assigned to the local +system, the anycast BGP next-hop will not be considered a Martian (self) IP. +This results in a timing window where hosts that are locally attached to the +MLAG pair's L2 domain can be learned both as "local" (via MLAG) or "remote" +(via an EVPN route with a non-local next-hop). This can trigger erroneous MAC +Mobility events, as the host "moves" between one MLAG Peer's Unique VTEP-IP +and the shared anycast VTEP-IP, which causes unnecessary control plane and +data plane events to propagate throughout the EVPN domain. +By associating the MAC-VRF of both MLAG VTEPs with the same site identifier, +EVPN routes originated by one MLAG VTEP will ignored by its MLAG peer, ensuring +that only the MLAG control plane attempts to take ownership of local hosts. + +The EVPN MAC-VRF Site-of-Origin feature works by influencing two behaviors: + +1. All EVPN routes originating from the local MAC-VRF will have a + Site-of-Origin extended community added to the route, matching the + configured value. +2. EVPN routes will be subjected to a "self SoO" check during MAC-VRF + or IP-VRF import processing. If the EVPN route is found to carry a + Site-of-Origin extended community whose value matches the locally + configured MAC-VRF Site-of-Origin, the route will be maintained in + the global EVPN RIB ("show bgp l2vpn evpn route") but will not be + imported into the corresponding MAC-VRF ("show bgp vni") or IP-VRF + ("show bgp [vrf ] [ipv4 | ipv6 [unicast]]"). + +The import filtering described in item (2) is constrained just to Type-2 +(MAC-IP) and Type-3 (IMET) EVPN routes. + +The EVPN MAC-VRF Site-of-Origin can be configured using a single CLI command +under ``address-family l2vpn evpn`` of the EVPN underlay BGP instance. + +.. clicmd:: [no] mac-vrf soo + +Example configuration: + +.. code-block:: frr + + router bgp 100 + neighbor 192.168.0.1 remote-as 101 + ! + address-family ipv4 l2vpn evpn + neighbor 192.168.0.1 activate + advertise-all-vni + mac-vrf soo 100.64.0.0:777 + exit-address-family + +This configuration ensures: + +1. EVPN routes originated from a local L2VNI will have a Site-of-Origin + extended community with the value ``100.64.0.0:777`` +2. Received EVPN routes carrying a Site-of-Origin extended community with the + value ``100.64.0.0:777`` will not be imported into a local MAC-VRF (L2VNI) + or IP-VRF (L3VNI). + +.. _bgp-evpn-mh: + +EVPN Multihoming +^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ + +All-Active Multihoming is used for redundancy and load sharing.

This means that multiple packets are written + to the peer socket at the same time each I/O cycle, in order to minimize + system call overhead. This value controls how many are written at a time. + Under certain load conditions, reducing this value could make peer traffic + less 'bursty'. In practice, leave this settings on the default (64) unless + you truly know what you are doing. + +.. clicmd:: read-quanta (1-10) + + Unlike Tx, BGP Rx traffic is not vectored. Packets are read off the wire one + at a time in a loop. This setting controls how many iterations the loop runs + for. As with write-quanta, it is best to leave this setting on the default. + +The following command is available in ``config`` mode as well as in the +``router bgp`` mode: + +.. clicmd:: bgp graceful-shutdown + + The purpose of this command is to initiate BGP Graceful Shutdown which + is described in :rfc:`8326`. The use case for this is to minimize or + eliminate the amount of traffic loss in a network when a planned + maintenance activity such as software upgrade or hardware replacement + is to be performed on a router. The feature works by re-announcing + routes to eBGP peers with the GRACEFUL_SHUTDOWN community included. + Peers are then expected to treat such paths with the lowest preference. + This happens automatically on a receiver running FRR; with other + routing protocol stacks, an inbound policy may have to be configured. + In FRR, triggering graceful shutdown also results in announcing a + LOCAL_PREF of 0 to iBGP peers. + + Graceful shutdown can be configured per BGP instance or globally for + all of BGP. These two options are mutually exclusive. The no form of + the command causes graceful shutdown to be stopped, and routes will + be re-announced without the GRACEFUL_SHUTDOWN community and/or with + the usual LOCAL_PREF value. Note that if this option is saved to + the startup configuration, graceful shutdown will remain in effect + across restarts of *bgpd* and will need to be explicitly disabled. + +.. clicmd:: bgp input-queue-limit (1-4294967295) + + Set the BGP Input Queue limit for all peers when messaging parsing.

If the option is passed as a command line argument when +starting the daemon and the configuration gets saved, the option will persist +unless removed from the configuration with the negating command prior to the +configuration write operation.

Currently, +it's the AS-Path, communities, and the path selection reason. The default +behavior in BGP is not to send this data.

There can be +scenarios where the hardware tables in some of the routers (along the path from +the source to destination) is full which will result in all routes not getting +installed in the FIB. If these routes are advertised to the downstream routers +then traffic will start flowing and will be dropped at the intermediate router. + +The solution is to provide a configurable option to check for the FIB install +status of the prefixes and advertise to peers if the prefixes are successfully +installed in the FIB. The advertisement of the prefixes are suppressed if it is +not installed in FIB. + +The following conditions apply will apply when checking for route installation +status in FIB: + +1. The advertisement or suppression of routes based on FIB install status + applies only for newly learnt routes from peer (routes which are not in + BGP local RIB). +2. If the route received from peer already exists in BGP local RIB and route + attributes have changed (best path changed), the old path is deleted and + new path is installed in FIB. The FIB install status will not have any + effect. Therefore only when the route is received first time the checks + apply. +3. The feature will not apply for routes learnt through other means like + redistribution to bgp from other protocols. This is applicable only to + peer learnt routes. +4. If a route is installed in FIB and then gets deleted from the dataplane, + then routes will not be withdrawn from peers. This will be considered as + dataplane issue. +5. The feature will slightly increase the time required to advertise the routes + to peers since the route install status needs to be received from the FIB +6. If routes are received by the peer before the configuration is applied, then + the bgp sessions need to be reset for the configuration to take effect. +7. If the route which is already installed in dataplane is removed for some + reason, sending withdraw message to peers is not currently supported. + +.. clicmd:: bgp suppress-fib-pending + + This command is applicable at the global level and at an individual + bgp level. If applied at the global level all bgp instances will + wait for fib installation before announcing routes and there is no + way to turn it off for a particular bgp vrf. + +.. _routing-policy: + +Routing Policy +============== + +You can set different routing policy for a peer. For example, you can set +different filter for a peer. + +.. code-block:: frr + + ! + router bgp 1 view 1 + neighbor 10.0.0.1 remote-as 2 + address-family ipv4 unicast + neighbor 10.0.0.1 distribute-list 1 in + exit-address-family + ! + router bgp 1 view 2 + neighbor 10.0.0.1 remote-as 2 + address-family ipv4 unicast + neighbor 10.0.0.1 distribute-list 2 in + exit-address-family + +This means BGP update from a peer 10.0.0.1 goes to both BGP view 1 and view 2. +When the update is inserted into view 1, distribute-list 1 is applied. On the +other hand, when the update is inserted into view 2, distribute-list 2 is +applied. + + +.. _bgp-regular-expressions: + +BGP Regular Expressions +======================= + +BGP regular expressions are based on :t:`POSIX 1003.2` regular expressions. The +following description is just a quick subset of the POSIX regular expressions. + + +.\* + Matches any single character. + +\* + Matches 0 or more occurrences of pattern. + +\+ + Matches 1 or more occurrences of pattern. + +? + Match 0 or 1 occurrences of pattern. + +^ + Matches the beginning of the line. + +$ + Matches the end of the line. + +_ + The ``_`` character has special meanings in BGP regular expressions.

We +can configure this as part of BGP neighbor configuration. + +This document explains how to avoid ICMP vulnerability issues by limiting +TCP max segment size when you are using MTU discovery. Using MTU discovery +on TCP paths is one method of avoiding BGP packet fragmentation. + +TCP negotiates a maximum segment size (MSS) value during session connection +establishment between two peers. The MSS value negotiated is primarily based +on the maximum transmission unit (MTU) of the interfaces to which the +communicating peers are directly connected. However, due to variations in +link MTU on the path taken by the TCP packets, some packets in the network +that are well within the MSS value might be fragmented when the packet size +exceeds the link's MTU. + +This feature is supported with TCP over IPv4 and TCP over IPv6. + +CLI Configuration: +------------------ +Below configuration can be done in router bgp mode and allows the user to +configure the tcp-mss value per neighbor. The configuration gets applied +only after hard reset is performed on that neighbor. If we configure tcp-mss +on both the neighbors then both neighbors need to be reset. + +The configuration takes effect based on below rules, so there is a configured +tcp-mss and a synced tcp-mss value per TCP session. + +By default if the configuration is not done then the TCP max segment size is +set to the Maximum Transmission unit (MTU) – (IP/IP6 header size + TCP header +size + ethernet header). For IPv4 its MTU – (20 bytes IP header + 20 bytes TCP +header + 12 bytes ethernet header) and for IPv6 its MTU – (40 bytes IPv6 header ++ 20 bytes TCP header + 12 bytes ethernet header). + +If the config is done then it reduces 12-14 bytes for the ether header and +uses it after synchronizing in TCP handshake. + +.. clicmd:: neighbor tcp-mss (1-65535) + +When tcp-mss is configured kernel reduces 12-14 bytes for ethernet header. +E.g. if tcp-mss is configured as 150 the synced value will be 138. + +Note: configured and synced value is different since TCP module will reduce +12 bytes for ethernet header. + +Running config: +--------------- + +.. code-block:: frr + + frr# show running-config + Building configuration... + + Current configuration: + ! + router bgp 100 + bgp router-id 192.0.2.1 + neighbor 198.51.100.2 remote-as 100 + neighbor 198.51.100.2 tcp-mss 150 => new entry + neighbor 2001:DB8::2 remote-as 100 + neighbor 2001:DB8::2 tcp-mss 400 => new entry + +Show command: +------------- + +.. code-block:: frr + + frr# show bgp neighbors 198.51.100.2 + BGP neighbor is 198.51.100.2, remote AS 100, local AS 100, internal link + Hostname: frr + BGP version 4, remote router ID 192.0.2.2, local router ID 192.0.2.1 + BGP state = Established, up for 02:15:28 + Last read 00:00:28, Last write 00:00:28 + Hold time is 180, keepalive interval is 60 seconds + Configured tcp-mss is 150, synced tcp-mss is 138 => new display + +.. code-block:: frr + + frr# show bgp neighbors 2001:DB8::2 + BGP neighbor is 2001:DB8::2, remote AS 100, local AS 100, internal link + Hostname: frr + BGP version 4, remote router ID 192.0.2.2, local router ID 192.0.2.1 + BGP state = Established, up for 02:16:34 + Last read 00:00:34, Last write 00:00:34 + Hold time is 180, keepalive interval is 60 seconds + Configured tcp-mss is 400, synced tcp-mss is 388 => new display + +Show command json output: +------------------------- + +.. code-block:: frr + + frr# show bgp neighbors 2001:DB8::2 json + { + "2001:DB8::2":{ + "remoteAs":100, + "localAs":100, + "nbrInternalLink":true, + "hostname":"frr", + "bgpVersion":4, + "remoteRouterId":"192.0.2.2", + "localRouterId":"192.0.2.1", + "bgpState":"Established", + "bgpTimerUpMsec":8349000, + "bgpTimerUpString":"02:19:09", + "bgpTimerUpEstablishedEpoch":1613054251, + "bgpTimerLastRead":9000, + "bgpTimerLastWrite":9000, + "bgpInUpdateElapsedTimeMsecs":8347000, + "bgpTimerHoldTimeMsecs":180000, + "bgpTimerKeepAliveIntervalMsecs":60000, + "bgpTcpMssConfigured":400, => new entry + "bgpTcpMssSynced":388, => new entry + +.. code-block:: frr + + frr# show bgp neighbors 198.51.100.2 json + { + "198.51.100.2":{ + "remoteAs":100, + "localAs":100, + "nbrInternalLink":true, + "hostname":"frr", + "bgpVersion":4, + "remoteRouterId":"192.0.2.2", + "localRouterId":"192.0.2.1", + "bgpState":"Established", + "bgpTimerUpMsec":8370000, + "bgpTimerUpString":"02:19:30", + "bgpTimerUpEstablishedEpoch":1613054251, + "bgpTimerLastRead":30000, + "bgpTimerLastWrite":30000, + "bgpInUpdateElapsedTimeMsecs":8368000, + "bgpTimerHoldTimeMsecs":180000, + "bgpTimerKeepAliveIntervalMsecs":60000, + "bgpTcpMssConfigured":150, => new entry + "bgpTcpMssSynced":138, => new entry + +.. include:: routeserver.rst + +.. include:: rpki.rst + +.. include:: wecmp_linkbw.rst + +.. include:: flowspec.rst + +..

This means protocol + version 3 without any extensions. It is not possible to use an older draft + protocol version of BMP. + +- the following statistics codes are implemented: + + - 0: count of prefixes rejected + - 2: count of duplicate prefix withdrawals + - 3: count of **prefixes** with loop in cluster id + - 4: count of **prefixes** with loop in AS-path + - 5: count of **prefixes** with loop in originator + - 11: count of updates subjected to :rfc:`7607` "treat as withdrawal" + handling due to errors + - 65531: *experimental* count of prefixes rejected due to invalid next-hop + + Note that stat items 3, 4 and 5 are specified to count updates, but FRR + implements them as prefix-based counters. + +- **route mirroring** is fully implemented, however BGP OPEN messages are not + currently included in route mirroring messages. Their contents can be + extracted from the "peer up" notification for sessions that established + successfully. OPEN messages for failed sessions cannot currently be + mirrored. + +- **route monitoring** is available for IPv4 and IPv6 AFIs, unicast and + multicast SAFIs. Other SAFIs (VPN, Labeled-Unicast, Flowspec, etc.) are not + currently supported. + +- monitoring peers that have BGP **add-path** enabled on the session will + result in somewhat unpredictable behaviour. Currently, the outcome is: + + - route mirroring functions as intended, messages are copied verbatim + - the add-path ID is never included in route monitoring messages + - if multiple paths were received from a peer, an unpredictable path is + picked and sent on the BMP session. The selection will differ for + pre-policy and post-policy monitoring sessions. + - as long as any path is present, something will be advertised on BMP + sessions. Only after the last path is gone a withdrawal will be sent on + BMP sessions. + - updates to additional paths will trigger BMP route monitoring messages. + There is no guarantee on consistency regarding which path is sent in these + messages. + +- monitoring peers with :rfc:`5549` extended next-hops has not been tested. + +Starting BMP +============ + +BMP is implemented as a loadable module. This means that to use BMP, ``bgpd`` +must be started with the ``-M bmp`` option. It is not possible to enable BMP +if ``bgpd`` was started without this option. + +Configuring BMP +=============== + +All of FRR's BMP configuration options are located inside the +:clicmd:`router bgp ASN` block. Configure BGP first before proceeding to BMP +setup. + +There is one option that applies to the BGP instance as a whole: + +.. clicmd:: bmp mirror buffer-limit(0-4294967294) + + This sets the maximum amount of memory used for buffering BGP messages + (updates, keepalives, ...) for sending in BMP Route Mirroring. + + The buffer is for the entire BGP instance; if multiple BMP targets are + configured they reference the same buffer and do not consume additional + memory. Queue overhead is included in accounting this memory, so the + actual space available for BGP messages is slightly less than the value + configured here. + + If the buffer fills up, the oldest messages are removed from the buffer and + any BMP sessions where the now-removed messages were still pending have + their **entire** queue flushed and a "Mirroring Messages Lost" BMP message + is sent. + + BMP Route Monitoring is not affected by this option. + +All other configuration is managed per targets: + +.. clicmd:: bmp targets NAME + + Create/delete a targets group. As implied by the plural name, targets may + cover multiple outbound active BMP sessions as well as inbound passive + listeners. + + If BMP sessions have the same configuration, putting them in the same + ``bmp targets`` will reduce overhead. + +BMP session configuration +------------------------- + +Inside a ``bmp targets`` block, the following commands control session +establishment: + + +.. clicmd:: bmp connect HOSTNAME port (1-65535) {min-retry MSEC|max-retry MSEC} [source-interface WORD] + + Add/remove an active outbound BMP session. HOSTNAME is resolved via DNS, + if multiple addresses are returned they are tried in nondeterministic + order. Only one connection will be established even if multiple addresses + are returned. ``min-retry`` and ``max-retry`` specify (in milliseconds) + bounds for exponential backoff. ``source-interface`` is the local interface on + which the connection has to bind. + +.. warning:: + + ``ip access-list`` and ``ipv6 access-list`` are checked for outbound + connections resulting from ``bmp connect`` statements. + +.. clicmd:: bmp listener port (1-65535) + + Accept incoming BMP sessions on the specified address and port. You can + use ``0.0.0.0`` and ``::`` to listen on all IPv4/IPv6 addresses. + +.. clicmd:: ip access-list NAME +.. clicmd:: ipv6 access-list NAME + + Restrict BMP sessions to the addresses allowed by the respective access + lists. The access lists are checked for both passive and active BMP + sessions. Changes do not affect currently established sessions. + +BMP data feed configuration +--------------------------- + +The following commands configure what BMP messages are sent on sessions +associated with a particular ``bmp targets``: + +.. clicmd:: bmp stats [interval (100-86400000)] + + Send BMP Statistics (counter) messages at the specified interval (in + milliseconds.) + +.. clicmd:: bmp monitor AFI SAFI + + Perform Route Monitoring for the specified AFI and SAFI.

This is an extension +of BGP that enables the signaling of bridged (L2) and routed (L3) VPNs over a +common network. EVPN is described in :rfc:`7432` and is updated by several +additional RFCs and IETF drafts including :rfc:`9135` (Integrated Routing +and Bridging in Ethernet VPN), :rfc:`9136` (IP Prefix Advertisement in Ethernet +VPN), :rfc:`8584` (Framework for Ethernet VPN Designated Forwarder Election +Extensibility), and :rfc:`8365` (A Network Virtualization Overlay Solution Using +Ethernet VPN). FRR supports All-Active Layer-2 Multihoming for devices (MHD) via +LACP Ethernet Segments as well as both Symmetric and Asymmetric IRB. +FRR implements MAC-VRFs using a "VLAN-Based Service Interface" (:rfc:`7432`) +and performs processing of Symmetric IRB routes following the +"Interface-less IP-VRF-to-IP-VRF Model" (:rfc:`9136`). + +.. _evpn-concepts: + +EVPN Concepts +============= +BGP-EVPN is the control plane for the transport of Ethernet frames, regardless +of whether those frames are bridged or routed. In the case of a VLAN-Based +Service Interface with VXLAN encap, a single VNI is used to represent an EVPN +Instance (EVI) and will have its own Route Distinguisher and set of +Import/Export Route-Targets. + +A VNI is considered to be either Layer-2 (tied to a MAC-VRF) or Layer-3 +(tied to an IP-VRF), which indicates what kind of information is represented by +the VRF. An IP-VRF represents a routing table (operating in much the same way as +a VRF traditionally operates in L3VPN), while a MAC-VRF represents a bridging +table i.e. MAC (fdb) and ARP/NDP entries. + +A MAC-VRF can be thought of as a VLAN with or without an SVI associated with it. +An SVI is a Layer-3 interface bound to a bridging domain. In Linux an SVI can +either be a traditional bridge or a VLAN subinterface of a VLAN-aware bridge. +If there is an SVI for the VLAN, ARP/NDP entries can be bound to the MACs within +the broadcast domain. Without an SVI, the VLAN operates in traditional L2 +fashion and MACs are the only type of host addresses known within the VLAN. + +In the same way that there can be a many-to-one relationship of SVIs to a VRF, +there can also be a many-to-one relationship of MAC-VRFs (L2VNIs) to an IP-VRF +(L3VNI). In FRR the L3VNI association for an L2VNI is determined by the +presence of an SVI for the VLAN and the VRF membership of the SVI. +If an L2VNI does not have an SVI or its SVI is not enslaved to a VRF, the L2VNI +will be associated with the "default" VRF. If an L2VNI has an SVI whose master +device is a VRF, then that L2VNI will be associated with its master VRF. + +.. _evpn-frr-configuration: + +FRR Configuration +================= +FRR learns about the system's Linux network interface configuration from the +kernel via Netlink, however it does not manage network interfaces directly. +The following sections will include examples of Linux interface configurations +that are compatible with FRR's EVPN implementation.

The following section will include samples of a few +netdev configurations that are compatible with FRR which implement the +environment described above. + +Some high-level config considerations: + +* The local VTEP-IP should always be set to a reachable IP on the lo device. +* An L3VNI should always have an SVI (aka the L3-SVI). +* An L3-SVI should not be assigned an IP address, link-local or otherwise. + + * IPv6 address autoconfiguration can be disabled via ``addrgenmode none``. + +* An SVI for an L2VNI is only needed for routing (IRB) or ARP/ND suppression. + + * ARP/ND suppression is a kernel function, it is not managed by FRR. + * ARP/ND suppression is enabled per bridge_slave via ``neigh_suppress``. + * ARP/ND suppression should only be enabled on vxlan interfaces. + * IPv4/IPv6 forwarding should be disabled on SVIs not used for routing (IRB). + +* Dynamic MAC/VTEP learning should be disabled on VXLAN interfaces used in EVPN. + + * Dynamic MAC learning is a function of the kernel bridge driver, not FRR. + * Dynamic MAC learning is toggled per bridge_slave via ``learning {on|off}``. + * Dynamic VTEP learning is a function of the kernel vxlan driver, not FRR. + * Dynamic VTEP learning is toggled per vxlan interface via ``[no]learning``. + +* The VXLAN interfaces should not have a ``remote`` VTEP defined. + + * Remote VTEPs are learned via EVPN, so static VTEPs are unnecessary. + +.. _evpn-traditional-bridge-traditional-vxlan-devices: + +Traditional Bridges and Traditional VXLAN Devices +------------------------------------------------- +In the traditional bridge model, we use a separate ``bridge`` interface per +MAC-VRF which acts as the SVI for that broadcast domain. A bridge is considered +"traditional" if ``vlan_filtering`` is set to ``0`` (disabled) which indicates +the bridge only has one broadcast domain which does not consider VLAN tags. +Similarly, only one VNI is carried by each "traditional" ``vxlan`` interface. +So in this deployment model, each VXLAN-enabled broadcast domain will have one +traditional vxlan interface enslaved to one traditional bridge. + +Bridges created for an L3VNI broadcast domain should only have one member: the +L3VNI vxlan device. Bridges created for an L2VNI broadcast domain generally +have multiple members: the L2VNI vxlan device, plus any host/network ports +where the L2 domain will be carried. + +To carry the broadcast domains of multiple traditional bridges over the same +host/network port, a tagged ``vlan`` sub-interface of the port must be created +per broadcast domain. The vlan sub-interfaces would then be enslaved to the +traditional bridge, ensuring that only packets tagged with the expected VID are +associated with the expected broadcast domain. + +.. code-block:: shell + + ################### + ## vxlan vtep-ip ## + ################### + ip addr add 100.64.0.1/32 dev lo + + ############################# + ## ip-vrf vrf1 / l3vni 100 ## + ############################# + ip link add vrf1 type vrf table 1100 + ip link set vrf1 up + ip link add br100 type bridge + ip link set br100 master vrf1 addrgenmode none + ip link set br100 addr aa:bb:cc:00:00:64 + ip link add vni100 type vxlan local 100.64.0.1 dstport 4789 id 100 nolearning + ip link set vni100 master br100 addrgenmode none + ip link set vni100 type bridge_slave neigh_suppress on learning off + ip link set vni100 up + ip link set br100 up + + ############################# + ## ip-vrf vrf2 / l3vni 200 ## + ############################# + ip link add vrf2 type vrf table 1200 + ip link set vrf2 up + ip link add br200 type bridge + ip link set br200 master vrf2 addrgenmode none + ip link set br200 addr aa:bb:cc:00:00:c8 + ip link add vni200 type vxlan local 100.64.0.1 dstport 4789 id 200 nolearning + ip link set vni200 master br200 addrgenmode none + ip link set vni200 type bridge_slave neigh_suppress on learning off + ip link set vni200 up + ip link set br200 up + + ################# + ## ip-vrf vrf3 ## + ################# + ip link add vrf3 type vrf table 1300 + ip link set vrf3 up + + ############### + ## l2vni 110 ## + ############### + ip link add br10 type bridge + ip link set br10 master vrf1 + ip link set br10 addr aa:bb:cc:00:00:6e + ip addr add 10.0.10.1/24 dev br10 + ip addr add 2001:db8:0:10::1/64 dev br10 + ip link add vni110 type vxlan local 100.64.0.1 dstport 4789 id 110 nolearning + ip link set vni110 master br10 addrgenmode none + ip link set vni110 type bridge_slave neigh_suppress on learning off + ip link set vni110 up + ip link set br10 up + + ############### + ## l2vni 220 ## + ############### + ip link add br20 type bridge + ip link set br20 master vrf2 + ip link set br20 addr aa:bb:cc:00:00:dc + ip addr add 10.0.20.1/24 dev br20 + ip addr add 2001:db8:0:20::1/64 dev br20 + ip link add vni220 type vxlan local 100.64.0.1 dstport 4789 id 220 nolearning + ip link set vni220 master br20 addrgenmode none + ip link set vni220 type bridge_slave neigh_suppress on learning off + ip link set vni220 up + ip link set br20 up + + ############### + ## l2vni 330 ## + ############### + ip link add br30 type bridge + ip link set br30 master vrf3 + ip link set br30 addr aa:bb:cc:00:01:4a + ip addr add 10.0.30.1/24 dev br30 + ip addr add 2001:db8:0:30::1/64 dev br30 + ip link add vni330 type vxlan local 100.64.0.1 dstport 4789 id 330 nolearning + ip link set vni330 master br30 addrgenmode none + ip link set vni330 type bridge_slave neigh_suppress on learning off + ip link set vni330 up + ip link set br30 up + + ############### + ## l2vni 440 ## + ############### + ip link add br40 type bridge + ip link set br40 addr aa:bb:cc:00:01:b8 + ip addr add 10.0.40.1/24 dev br40 + ip addr add 2001:db8:0:40::1/64 dev br40 + ip link add vni440 type vxlan local 100.64.0.1 dstport 4789 id 440 nolearning + ip link set vni440 master br40 addrgenmode none + ip link set vni440 type bridge_slave neigh_suppress on learning off + ip link set vni440 up + ip link set br40 up + + ############### + ## l2vni 550 ## + ############### + ip link add br50 type bridge + ip link set br50 addrgenmode none + ip link set br50 addr aa:bb:cc:00:02:26 + ip link add vni550 type vxlan local 100.64.0.1 dstport 4789 id 550 nolearning + ip link set vni550 master br50 addrgenmode none + ip link set vni550 type bridge_slave neigh_suppress on learning off + sysctl -w net.ipv4.conf.br50.forwarding=0 + sysctl -w net.ipv6.conf.br50.forwarding=0 + ip link set vni550 up + ip link set br50 up + + ################## + ## create vlan subinterface of eth0 for each l2vni vlan and enslave each + ## subinterface to the corresponding bridge + ################## + ip link set eth0 up + for i in 10 20 30 40 50; do + ip link add link eth0 name eth0.$i type vlan id $i; + ip link set eth0.$i master br$i; + ip link set eth0.$i up; + done + + +To begin with, it creates a ``vrf`` interface named "vrf1" that is bound to the +kernel routing table with ID 1100.

Flowspec +entry is split in several parts before being sent to *zebra*. + +- *zebra* daemon receives the policy routing configuration + +Policy Based Routing entities necessary to policy route the traffic in the +underlying system, are received by *zebra*. Two filtering contexts will be +created or appended in ``Netfilter``: ``ipset`` and ``iptable`` context. The +former is used to define an IP filter based on multiple criterium. For +instance, an ipset ``net:net`` is based on two ip addresses, while +``net,port,net`` is based on two ip addresses and one port (for ICMP, UDP, or +TCP). The way the filtering is used (for example, is src port or dst port +used?) is defined by the latter filtering context. ``iptable`` command will +reference the ``ipset`` context and will tell how to filter and what to do. In +our case, a marker will be set to indicate ``iproute2`` where to forward the +traffic to. Sometimes, for dropping action, there is no need to add a marker; +the ``iptable`` will tell to drop all packets matching the ``ipset`` entry. + +Configuration Guide +------------------- + +In order to configure an IPv4 Flowspec engine, use the following configuration. +As of today, it is only possible to configure Flowspec on the default VRF. + +.. code-block:: frr + + router bgp + neighbor remote-as + neighbor remote-as + address-family ipv4 flowspec + neighbor activate + exit + address-family ipv6 flowspec + neighbor activate + exit + exit + +You can see Flowspec entries, by using one of the following show commands: + +.. clicmd:: show bgp ipv4 flowspec [detail | A.B.C.D] + +.. clicmd:: show bgp ipv6 flowspec [detail | A:B::C:D] + +Per-interface configuration +^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ + +One nice feature to use is the ability to apply Flowspec to a specific +interface, instead of applying it to the whole machine. Despite the following +IETF draft [Draft-IETF-IDR-Flowspec-Interface-Set]_ is not implemented, it is +possible to manually limit Flowspec application to some incoming interfaces. +Actually, not using it can result to some unexpected behaviour like accounting +twice the traffic, or slow down the traffic (filtering costs). To limit +Flowspec to one specific interface, use the following command, under +`flowspec address-family` node. + +.. clicmd:: local-install + +By default, Flowspec is activated on all interfaces. Installing it to a named +interface will result in allowing only this interface. Conversely, enabling any +interface will flush all previously configured interfaces. + +VRF redirection +^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ + +Another nice feature to configure is the ability to redirect traffic to a +separate VRF. This feature does not go against the ability to configure +Flowspec only on default VRF. Actually, when you receive incoming BGP flowspec +entries on that default VRF, you can redirect traffic to an other VRF. + +As a reminder, BGP flowspec entries have a BGP extended community that contains +a Route Target. Finding out a local VRF based on Route Target consists in the +following: + +- A configuration of each VRF must be done, with its Route Target set + Each VRF is being configured within a BGP VRF instance with its own Route + Target list. Route Target accepted format matches the following: + ``A.B.C.D:U16``, or ``U16:U32``, ``U32:U16``. + +- The first VRF with the matching Route Target will be selected to route traffic + to. Use the following command under ipv4 unicast address-family node + +.. clicmd:: rt redirect import RTLIST... + +In order to illustrate, if the Route Target configured in the Flowspec entry is +``E.F.G.H:II``, then a BGP VRF instance with the same Route Target will be set +set. That VRF will then be selected. The below full configuration example +depicts how Route Targets are configured and how VRFs and cross VRF +configuration is done. Note that the VRF are mapped on Linux Network +Namespaces.

In other words, +those statistics are retrieved from ``Netfilter``. + +.. clicmd:: show pbr ipset IPSETNAME | iptable + +``IPSETNAME`` is the policy routing object name created by ``ipset``. About +rule contexts, it is possible to know which rule has been configured to +policy-route some specific traffic. The :clicmd:`show pbr iptable` command +displays for forwarded traffic, which table is used. Then it is easy to use +that table identifier to dump the routing table that the forwarded traffic will +match. + +.. code-block:: frr + +.. clicmd:: show ip route table TABLEID + + ``TABLEID`` is the table number identifier referencing the non standard + routing table used in this example. + +.. clicmd:: debug bgp flowspec + + You can troubleshoot Flowspec, or BGP policy based routing. For instance, if + you encounter some issues when decoding a Flowspec entry, you should enable + :clicmd:`debug bgp flowspec`. + +.. clicmd:: debug bgp pbr [error] + + If you fail to apply the flowspec entry into *zebra*, there should be some + relationship with policy routing mechanism. Here, + :clicmd:`debug bgp pbr error` could help. + + To get information about policy routing contexts created/removed, only use + :clicmd:`debug bgp pbr` command. + +Ensuring that a Flowspec entry has been correctly installed and that incoming +traffic is policy-routed correctly can be checked as demonstrated below. First +of all, you must check whether the Flowspec entry has been installed or not. + +.. code-block:: frr + + CLI# show bgp ipv4 flowspec 5.5.5.2/32 + BGP flowspec entry: (flags 0x418) + Destination Address 5.5.5.2/32 + IP Protocol = 17 + Destination Port >= 50 , <= 90 + FS:redirect VRF RT:255.255.255.255:255 + received for 18:41:37 + installed in PBR (match0x271ce00) + +This means that the Flowspec entry has been installed in an ``iptable`` named +``match0x271ce00``.

You can +also check whether incoming traffic has been matched by looking at counter +line. + +.. code-block:: frr + + CLI# show pbr ipset match0x271ce00 + IPset match0x271ce00 type net,port + to 5.5.5.0/24:proto 6:80-120 (8) + pkts 1000, bytes 1000000 + to 5.5.5.2:proto 17:50-90 (5) + pkts 1692918, bytes 157441374 + +As you can see, the entry is present. note that an ``iptable`` entry can be +used to host several Flowspec entries. In order to know where the matching +traffic is redirected to, you have to look at the policy routing rules. The +policy-routing is done by forwarding traffic to a routing table number. That +routing table number is reached by using a ``iptable``. The relationship +between the routing table number and the incoming traffic is a ``MARKER`` that +is set by the IPtable referencing the IPSet. In Flowspec case, ``iptable`` +referencing the ``ipset`` context have the same name.

As of today, not all +Flowspec rules will be able to be converted into Policy Based Routing actions. + +- The ``Netfilter`` driver is not integrated into FRR yet. Not having this + piece of code prevents from injecting flowspec entries into the underlying + system. + +- There are some limitations around filtering contexts + + If I take example of UDP ports, or TCP ports in Flowspec, the information + can be a range of ports, or a unique value. This case is handled. + However, complexity can be increased, if the flow is a combination of a list + of range of ports and an enumerate of unique values. Here this case is not + handled. Similarly, it is not possible to create a filter for both src port + and dst port. For instance, filter on src port from [1-1000] and dst port = + 80. The same kind of complexity is not possible for packet length, ICMP type, + ICMP code. + +There are some other known issues: + +- The validation procedure depicted in :rfc:`5575` is not available. + + This validation procedure has not been implemented, as this feature was not + used in the existing setups you shared with us. + +- The filtering action shaper value, if positive, is not used to apply shaping. + + If value is positive, the traffic is redirected to the wished destination, + without any other action configured by Flowspec. + It is recommended to configure Quality of Service if needed, more globally on + a per interface basis. + +- Upon an unexpected crash or other event, *zebra* may not have time to flush + PBR contexts. + + That is to say ``ipset``, ``iptable`` and ``ip rule`` contexts. This is also a + consequence due to the fact that ip rule / ipset / iptables are not discovered + at startup (not able to read appropriate contexts coming from Flowspec). + +Appendix +-------- + +More information with a public presentation that explains the design of Flowspec +inside FRRouting. + +[Presentation]_ + +..

These group of operations on the Backend Interface +with one (or more) individual components involved should be executed without +taking any further management requests from other Frontend client sessions. +To maintain this kind of atomic behavior a lock needs to be acquired +(sometimes implicitly if not explicitly) by the corresponding Frontend client +session, on the various datastores/databases involved in the management request +being executed. The same datastores/databases need to be unlocked when all +the procedures have been executed and the transaction is being closed. + +Following are some of the transaction types supported by MGMT: + + - Configuration Transactions + + - Used to execute management operations like SET_CONFIG and COMMIT_CONFIG + that involve writing/over-writing the contents of Candidate and Running + databases. + - One (and only) can be created and be in-progress at any given time. + - Once initiated by a specific Frontend Client session and is still + in-progress, all subsequent SET_CONFIG and COMMIT_CONFIG operations + from other Frontend Client sessions will be rejected and responded + with failure. + - Requires acquiring write-lock on Candidate (and later Running) databases. + + - Show Transactions + + - Used to execute management operations like GET_CONFIG and GET_DATA + that involve only reading the contents of Candidate and Running + databases (and sometimes real-time retrieval of operational data + from individual component daemons). + - Multiple instance of this transaction type can be created and be + in-progress at any given time. + - However, when a configuration transaction is currently in-progress + show transaction can be initiated by any Frontend Client session. + - Requires acquiring read-lock on Candidate and/or Running databases. + - NOTE: Currently GET_DATA on Operational database is NOT supported. To + be added in a future time soon. + +MGMTD Configuration Rollback and Commit History +=============================================== + +The MGMT daemon maintains upto 10 last configuration commit buffers +and can rollback the contents of the Running Database to any of the +commit-ids maintained in the commit buffers. + +Once the number of commit buffers exceeds 10, the oldest commit +buffer is deleted to make space for the latest commit. Also on +rollback to a specific commit-id, buffer of all the later commits +are deleted from commit record. + +Configuration rollback is only allowed via VTYSH shell as of today +and is not possible through the MGMT Frontend interface. + +MGMT Configuration commands +=========================== + +.. clicmd:: mgmt set-config XPATH VALUE + + This command uses a SET_CONFIG request over the MGMT Frontend Interface + for the specified xpath with specific value.

NHRP provides an +ARP-like solution that allows a system to dynamically learn the NBMA address of +the other systems that are part of that network, allowing these systems to +directly communicate without requiring traffic to use an intermediate hop. + +NHRP is a client-server protocol. The server side is called the :abbr:`NHS +(Next Hop Server)` or the hub, while a client is referred to as the :abbr:`NHC +(Next Hop Client)` or the spoke.

This allows the routing protocol +to decide which is the closest hub and determine the relay hub on prefix +basis when direct tunnel is not established. + +nhrpd will redistribute directly connected neighbors to zebra.

From this collection of LSAs in the LSDB, each router can +then calculate the shortest path to any other router, based on some common +metric, by using an algorithm such as +`Edsger Dijkstra's `_ +:abbr:`SPF (Shortest Path First)` algorithm. + +.. index:: + pair: Link-state routing protocol; advantages + +By describing connectivity of a network in this way, in terms of +routers and links rather than in terms of the paths through a network, +a link-state protocol can use less bandwidth and converge more quickly +than other protocols. A link-state protocol need distribute only one +link-state message throughout the link-state domain when a link on any +single given router changes state, in order for all routers to +reconverge on the best paths through the network. In contrast, distance +vector protocols can require a progression of different path update +messages from a series of different routers in order to converge. + +.. index:: + pair: Link-state routing protocol; disadvantages + +The disadvantage to a link-state protocol is that the process of +computing the best paths can be relatively intensive when compared to +distance-vector protocols, in which near to no computation need be done +other than (potentially) select between multiple routes. This overhead +is mostly negligible for modern embedded CPUs, even for networks with +thousands of nodes. The primary scaling overhead lies more in coping +with the ever greater frequency of LSA updates as the size of a +link-state area increases, in managing the :abbr:`LSDB` and required +flooding. + +This section aims to give a distilled, but accurate, description of the +more important workings of :abbr:`OSPF` which an administrator may need +to know to be able best configure and trouble-shoot :abbr:`OSPF`. + +OSPF Mechanisms +--------------- + +:abbr:`OSPF` defines a range of mechanisms, concerned with detecting, +describing and propagating state through a network.

OSPF can additionally avail of other +sources of reachability information, such as link-state information provided by +hardware, or through dedicated reachability protocols such as +:abbr:`BFD (Bidirectional Forwarding Detection)`. + +OSPF also uses the Hello protocol to propagate certain state between routers +sharing a link, for example: + +- Hello protocol configured state, such as the dead-interval. +- Router priority, for DR/BDR election. +- DR/BDR election results. +- Any optional capabilities supported by each router. + +The Hello protocol is comparatively trivial and will not be explored in more +detail. + + +.. index:: + pair: LSA; OSPF + +.. _ospf-lsas: + +LSAs +^^^^ + +At the heart of :abbr:`OSPF` are :abbr:`LSA (Link State Advertisement)` +messages. Despite the name, some :abbr:`LSA` s do not, strictly speaking, +describe link-state information. Common :abbr:`LSA` s describe information +such as: + +- Routers, in terms of their links. +- Networks, in terms of attached routers. +- Routes, external to a link-state domain: + + External Routes + Routes entirely external to :abbr:`OSPF`. Routers originating such + routes are known as :abbr:`ASBR (Autonomous-System Border Router)` + routers. + + Summary Routes + Routes which summarise routing information relating to OSPF areas + external to the OSPF link-state area at hand, originated by + :abbr:`ABR (Area Boundary Router)` routers. + +.. _ospf-lsa-flooding: + +LSA Flooding +"""""""""""" + +OSPF defines several related mechanisms, used to manage synchronisation of +:abbr:`LSDB` s between neighbours as neighbours form adjacencies and the +propagation, or `flooding` of new or updated :abbr:`LSA` s. + + +.. index:: + pair: Area; OSPF + +.. _ospf-areas: + +Areas +^^^^^ + +OSPF provides for the protocol to be broken up into multiple smaller and +independent link-state areas. Each area must be connected to a common backbone +area by an :abbr:`ABR (Area Boundary Router)`. These :abbr:`ABR` routers are +responsible for summarising the link-state routing information of an area into +`Summary LSAs`, possibly in a condensed (i.e. aggregated) form, and then +originating these summaries into all other areas the :abbr:`ABR` is connected +to. + +Note that only summaries and external routes are passed between areas. As +these describe *paths*, rather than any router link-states, routing between +areas hence is by :term:`distance-vector`, **not** link-state. + +OSPF LSAs +--------- + +The core objects in OSPF are :abbr:`LSA` s. Everything else in OSPF revolves +around detecting what to describe in LSAs, when to update them, how to flood +them throughout a network and how to calculate routes from them. + +There are a variety of different :abbr:`LSA` s, for purposes such as describing +actual link-state information, describing paths (i.e. routes), describing +bandwidth usage of links for :abbr:`TE (Traffic Engineering)` purposes, and +even arbitrary data by way of *Opaque* :abbr:`LSA` s. + +LSA Header +^^^^^^^^^^ + +All LSAs share a common header with the following information: + +- Type + + Different types of :abbr:`LSA` s describe different things in + :abbr:`OSPF`. Types include: + + - Router LSA + - Network LSA + - Network Summary LSA + - Router Summary LSA + - AS-External LSA + + The specifics of the different types of LSA are examined below. + +- Advertising Router + + The Router ID of the router originating the LSA. + +.. seealso:: + + :clicmd:`ospf router-id A.B.C.D`. + +- LSA ID + + The ID of the LSA, which is typically derived in some way from the + information the LSA describes, e.g. a Router LSA uses the Router ID as + the LSA ID, a Network LSA will have the IP address of the :abbr:`DR` + as its LSA ID. + + The combination of the Type, ID and Advertising Router ID must uniquely + identify the :abbr:`LSA`. There can however be multiple instances of + an LSA with the same Type, LSA ID and Advertising Router ID, see + :ref:`sequence number `. + +- Age + + A number to allow stale :abbr:`LSA` s to, eventually, be purged by routers + from their :abbr:`LSDB` s. + + The value nominally is one of seconds. An age of 3600, i.e. 1 hour, is + called the `MaxAge`. MaxAge LSAs are ignored in routing + calculations. LSAs must be periodically refreshed by their Advertising + Router before reaching MaxAge if they are to remain valid. + + Routers may deliberately flood LSAs with the age artificially set to + 3600 to indicate an LSA is no longer valid. This is called + `flushing` of an LSA. + + It is not abnormal to see stale LSAs in the LSDB, this can occur where + a router has shutdown without flushing its LSA(s), e.g. where it has + become disconnected from the network. Such LSAs do little harm. + +.. _ospf-lsa-sequence-number: + +- Sequence Number + + A number used to distinguish newer instances of an LSA from older instances. + +Link-State LSAs +^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ + +Of all the various kinds of :abbr:`LSA` s, just two types comprise the +actual link-state part of :abbr:`OSPF`, Router :abbr:`LSA` s and +Network :abbr:`LSA` s. These LSA types are absolutely core to the +protocol. + +Instances of these LSAs are specific to the link-state area in which +they are originated. Routes calculated from these two LSA types are +called `intra-area routes`. + +- Router LSA + + Each OSPF Router must originate a router :abbr:`LSA` to describe + itself. In it, the router lists each of its :abbr:`OSPF` enabled + interfaces, for the given link-state area, in terms of: + + Cost + The output cost of that interface, scaled inversely to some commonly known + reference value, :clicmd:`auto-cost reference-bandwidth (1-4294967)`. + + Link Type + Transit Network + + A link to a multi-access network, on which the router has at least one + Full adjacency with another router. + + :abbr:`PtP (Point-to-Point)` + A link to a single remote router, with a Full adjacency. No + :abbr:`DR (Designated Router)` is elected on such links; no network + LSA is originated for such a link. + + Stub + A link with no adjacent neighbours, or a host route. + + - Link ID and Data + + These values depend on the Link Type: + + +----------------+-----------------------------------+------------------------------------------+ + | Link Type | Link ID | Link Data | + +================+===================================+==========================================+ + | Transit | Link IP address of the :abbr:`DR` | Interface IP address | + +----------------+-----------------------------------+------------------------------------------+ + | Point-to-Point | Router ID of the remote router | Local interface IP address, or the | + | | | :abbr:`ifindex (MIB-II interface index)` | + | | | for unnumbered links | + +----------------+-----------------------------------+------------------------------------------+ + | Stub | IP address | Subnet Mask | + +----------------+-----------------------------------+------------------------------------------+ + + Links on a router may be listed multiple times in the Router LSA, e.g. a + :abbr:`PtP` interface on which OSPF is enabled must *always* be described + by a Stub link in the Router :abbr:`LSA`, in addition to being listed as + PtP link in the Router :abbr:`LSA` if the adjacency with the remote router + is Full. + + Stub links may also be used as a way to describe links on which OSPF is + *not* spoken, known as `passive interfaces`, see + :clicmd:`ip ospf passive [A.B.C.D]`. + +- Network LSA + + On multi-access links (e.g. ethernets, certain kinds of ATM and X.25 + configurations), routers elect a :abbr:`DR`. The :abbr:`DR` is + responsible for originating a Network :abbr:`LSA`, which helps reduce + the information needed to describe multi-access networks with multiple + routers attached. The :abbr:`DR` also acts as a hub for the flooding of + :abbr:`LSA` s on that link, thus reducing flooding overheads. + + The contents of the Network LSA describes the: + + - Subnet Mask + + As the :abbr:`LSA` ID of a Network LSA must be the IP address of the + :abbr:`DR`, the Subnet Mask together with the :abbr:`LSA` ID gives + you the network address. + + - Attached Routers + + Each router fully-adjacent with the :abbr:`DR` is listed in the LSA, + by their Router-ID. This allows the corresponding Router :abbr:`LSA` s to be + easily retrieved from the :abbr:`LSDB`. + +Summary of Link State LSAs: + ++-------------+----------------------------+--------------------------------------------+ +| LSA Type | LSA ID | LSA Data Describes | ++=============+============================+============================================+ +| Router LSA | Router ID | The :abbr:`OSPF` enabled links of the | +| | | router, within a specific link-state area. | ++-------------+----------------------------+--------------------------------------------+ +| Network LSA | The IP address of the | The subnet mask of the network and the | +| | :abbr:`DR` for the network | Router IDs of all routers on the network | ++-------------+----------------------------+--------------------------------------------+ + +With an LSDB composed of just these two types of :abbr:`LSA`, it is +possible to construct a directed graph of the connectivity between all +routers and networks in a given OSPF link-state area. So, not +surprisingly, when OSPF routers build updated routing tables, the first +stage of :abbr:`SPF` calculation concerns itself only with these two +LSA types. + +.. _ospf-link-state-lsa-examples: + +Link-State LSA Examples +^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ + +The example below shows two :abbr:`LSA` s, both originated by the same router +(Router ID 192.168.0.49) and with the same :abbr:`LSA` ID (192.168.0.49), but +of different LSA types. + +The first LSA being the router LSA describing 192.168.0.49's links: 2 links +to multi-access networks with fully-adjacent neighbours (i.e. Transit +links) and 1 being a Stub link (no adjacent neighbours). + +The second LSA being a Network LSA, for which 192.168.0.49 is the +:abbr:`DR`, listing the Router IDs of 4 routers on that network which +are fully adjacent with 192.168.0.49. + +:: + + # show ip ospf database router 192.168.0.49 + + OSPF Router with ID (192.168.0.53) + + Router Link States (Area 0.0.0.0) + + LS age: 38 + Options: 0x2 : *|-|-|-|-|-|E|* + LS Flags: 0x6 + Flags: 0x2 : ASBR + LS Type: router-LSA + Link State ID: 192.168.0.49 + Advertising Router: 192.168.0.49 + LS Seq Number: 80000f90 + Checksum: 0x518b + Length: 60 + Number of Links: 3 + + Link connected to: a Transit Network + (Link ID) Designated Router address: 192.168.1.3 + (Link Data) Router Interface address: 192.168.1.3 + Number of TOS metrics: 0 + TOS 0 Metric: 10 + + Link connected to: a Transit Network + (Link ID) Designated Router address: 192.168.0.49 + (Link Data) Router Interface address: 192.168.0.49 + Number of TOS metrics: 0 + TOS 0 Metric: 10 + + Link connected to: Stub Network + (Link ID) Net: 192.168.3.190 + (Link Data) Network Mask: 255.255.255.255 + Number of TOS metrics: 0 + TOS 0 Metric: 39063 + # show ip ospf database network 192.168.0.49 + + OSPF Router with ID (192.168.0.53) + + Net Link States (Area 0.0.0.0) + + LS age: 285 + Options: 0x2 : *|-|-|-|-|-|E|* + LS Flags: 0x6 + LS Type: network-LSA + Link State ID: 192.168.0.49 (address of Designated Router) + Advertising Router: 192.168.0.49 + LS Seq Number: 80000074 + Checksum: 0x0103 + Length: 40 + Network Mask: /29 + Attached Router: 192.168.0.49 + Attached Router: 192.168.0.52 + Attached Router: 192.168.0.53 + Attached Router: 192.168.0.54 + + +Note that from one LSA, you can find the other. E.g. Given the +Network-LSA you have a list of Router IDs on that network, from which +you can then look up, in the local :abbr:`LSDB`, the matching Router +LSA. From that Router-LSA you may (potentially) find links to other +Transit networks and Routers IDs which can be used to lookup the +corresponding Router or Network LSA. And in that fashion, one can find +all the Routers and Networks reachable from that starting :abbr:`LSA`. + +Given the Router LSA instead, you have the IP address of the +:abbr:`DR` of any attached transit links. Network LSAs will have that IP +as their LSA ID, so you can then look up that Network LSA and from that +find all the attached routers on that link, leading potentially to more +links and Network and Router LSAs, etc. etc. + +From just the above two :abbr:`LSA` s, one can already see the +following partial topology: + +:: + + ------------------------ Network: ...... + | Designated Router IP: 192.168.1.3 + | + IP: 192.168.1.3 + (transit link) + (cost: 10) + Router ID: 192.168.0.49(stub)---------- IP: 192.168.3.190/32 + (cost: 10) (cost: 39063) + (transit link) + IP: 192.168.0.49 + | + | + ------------------------------ Network: 192.168.0.48/29 + | | | Designated Router IP: 192.168.0.49 + | | | + | | Router ID: 192.168.0.54 + | | + | Router ID: 192.168.0.53 + | + Router ID: 192.168.0.52 + + +Note the Router IDs, though they look like IP addresses and often are +IP addresses, are not strictly speaking IP addresses, nor need they be +reachable addresses (though, OSPF will calculate routes to Router IDs). + +External LSAs +^^^^^^^^^^^^^ + +External, or "Type 5", :abbr:`LSA` s describe routing information which is +entirely external to :abbr:`OSPF`, and is "injected" into +:abbr:`OSPF`. Such routing information may have come from another +routing protocol, such as RIP or BGP, they may represent static routes +or they may represent a default route. + +An :abbr:`OSPF` router which originates External :abbr:`LSA` s is known as an +:abbr:`ASBR (AS Boundary Router)`. Unlike the link-state :abbr:`LSA` s, and +most other :abbr:`LSA` s, which are flooded only within the area in +which they originate, External :abbr:`LSA` s are flooded through-out +the :abbr:`OSPF` network to all areas capable of carrying External +:abbr:`LSA` s (:ref:`ospf-areas`). + +Routes internal to OSPF (intra-area or inter-area) are always preferred +over external routes. + +The External :abbr:`LSA` describes the following: + +IP Network number + The IP Network number of the route is described by the :abbr:`LSA` ID field. + +IP Network Mask + The body of the External LSA describes the IP Network Mask of the route. + This, together with the :abbr:`LSA` ID, describes the prefix of the IP route + concerned. + +Metric + The cost of the External Route. This cost may be an OSPF cost (also known as + a "Type 1" metric), i.e. equivalent to the normal OSPF costs, or an + externally derived cost ("Type 2" metric) which is not comparable to OSPF + costs and always considered larger than any OSPF cost. Where there are both + Type 1 and 2 External routes for a route, the Type 1 is always preferred. + +Forwarding Address + The address of the router to forward packets to for the route. This may be, + and usually is, left as 0 to specify that the ASBR originating the External + :abbr:`LSA` should be used.

It can easily handle +full Internet routing tables and is suitable for use on hardware ranging from +cheap SBCs to commercial grade routers. It is actively used in production by +hundreds of companies, universities, research labs and governments. + +FRR is distributed under GPLv2, with development modeled after the Linux +kernel. Anyone may contribute features, bug fixes, tools, documentation +updates, or anything else. + +FRR is a fork of `Quagga `_. + +.. _how-to-get-frr: + +How to get FRR +============== + +The official FRR website is located at |PACKAGE_URL| and contains further +information, as well as links to additional resources. + +Several distributions provide packages for FRR. Check your distribution's +repositories to find out if a suitable version is available. + +Up-to-date Debian & Redhat packages are available at https://deb.frrouting.org/ +& https://rpm.frrouting.org/ respectively. + +For instructions on installing from source, refer to the +`developer documentation `_. + + +.. _about-frr: + +About FRR +========= + +FRR provides IP routing services. Its role in a networking stack is to exchange +routing information with other routers, make routing and policy decisions, and +inform other layers of these decisions. In the most common scenario, FRR +installs routing decisions into the OS kernel, allowing the kernel networking +stack to make the corresponding forwarding decisions. + +In addition to dynamic routing FRR supports the full range of L3 configuration, +including static routes, addresses, router advertisements etc. It has some +light L2 functionality as well, but this is mostly left to the platform. This +makes it suitable for deployments ranging from small home networks with static +routes to Internet exchanges running full Internet tables. + +FRR runs on all modern \*NIX operating systems, including Linux and the BSDs. +Feature support varies by platform; see the :ref:`feature-matrix`. + +System Requirements +------------------- + +System resources needed by FRR are highly dependent on workload. Routing +software performance is particularly susceptible to external factors such as: + +* Kernel networking stack +* Physical NIC +* Peer behavior +* Routing information scale + +Because of these factors - especially the last one - it's difficult to lay out +resource requirements. + +To put this in perspective, FRR can be run on very low resource systems such as +SBCs, provided it is not stressed too much. If you want to set up 4 Raspberry +Pis to play with BGP or OSPF, it should work fine. If you ask a FRR to process +a complete internet routing table on a Raspberry Pi, you will be disappointed. +However, given enough resources, FRR ought to be capable of acting as a core IX +router. Such a use case requires at least 4gb of memory and a recent quad-core +server processor at a minimum. + +If you are new to networking, an important thing to remember is that FRR is +control plane software. It does not itself forward packets - it exchanges +information with peers about how to forward packets. Forwarding plane +performance largely depends on choice of NIC / ASIC. + + +System Architecture +------------------- + +.. index:: + pair: architecture; FRR + +Traditional routing software is made as a one process program which provides +all of the routing protocol functionalities. FRR takes a different approach. +FRR is a suite of daemons that work together to build the routing table. Each +major protocol is implemented in its own daemon, and these daemons talk to a +middleman daemon (*zebra*), which is responsible for coordinating routing +decisions and talking to the dataplane. + +This architecture allows for high resiliency, since an error, crash or exploit +in one protocol daemon will generally not affect the others. It is also +flexible and extensible since the modularity makes it easy to implement new +protocols and tie them into the suite. Additionally, each daemon implements a +plugin system allowing new functionality to be loaded at runtime. + +An illustration of the large scale architecture is given below. + +:: + + +----+ +----+ +-----+ +----+ +----+ +----+ +-----+ + |bgpd| |ripd| |ospfd| |ldpd| |pbrd| |pimd| |.....| + +----+ +----+ +-----+ +----+ +----+ +----+ +-----+ + | | | | | | | + +----v-------v--------v-------v-------v-------v--------v + | | + | Zebra | + | | + +------------------------------------------------------+ + | | | + | | | + +------v------+ +---------v--------+ +------v------+ + | | | | | | + | *NIX Kernel | | Remote dataplane | | ........... | + | | | | | | + +-------------+ +------------------+ +-------------+ + + +All of the FRR daemons can be managed through a single integrated user +interface shell called *vtysh*. *vtysh* connects to each daemon through a UNIX +domain socket and then works as a proxy for user input. In addition to a +unified frontend, *vtysh* also provides the ability to configure all the +daemons using a single configuration file through the integrated configuration +mode. This avoids the overhead of maintaining a separate configuration file for +each daemon. + +FRR is currently implementing a new internal configuration system based on YANG +data models. When this work is completed, FRR will be a fully programmable +routing stack. + + +.. index:: + pair: platforms; FRR + pair: operating systems; FRR + +.. _supported-platforms: + +Supported Platforms +------------------- + + +Currently FRR supports GNU/Linux and BSD. Porting FRR to other platforms is not +too difficult as platform dependent code should be mostly limited to the +*Zebra* daemon. Protocol daemons are largely platform independent. Please let +us know if you can get FRR to run on a platform which is not listed below: + +- GNU/Linux +- FreeBSD +- NetBSD +- OpenBSD + +Versions of these platforms that are older than around 2 years from the point +of their original release (in case of GNU/Linux, this is since the kernel's +release on https://kernel.org/) may need some work. Similarly, the following +platforms may work with some effort: + +- MacOS + +Recent versions of the following compilers are well tested: + +- GNU's GCC +- LLVM's Clang +- Intel's ICC + +.. _unsupported-platforms: + +Unsupported Platforms +--------------------- + +In General if the platform you are attempting to use is not listed above then +FRR does not support being run on that platform. The only caveat here is that +version 7.5 and before Solaris was supported in a limited fashion. + +.. _feature-matrix: + +Feature Matrix +^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ + +The following table lists all protocols cross-referenced to all operating +systems that have at least CI build tests. Note that for features, only +features with system dependencies are included here; if you don't see the +feature you're interested in, it should be supported on your platform. + +.. role:: mark + +.. comment - the :mark:`X` pieces mesh with a little bit of JavaScript and + CSS in _static/overrides.{js,css} respectively. The JS code looks at the + presence of the 'Y' 'N' '≥' '†' or 'CP' strings. This seemed to be the + best / least intrusive way of getting a nice table in HTML. The table + will look somewhat shoddy on other sphinx targets like PDF or info (but + should still be readable.) +

RIP was developed in the 1970s at Xerox Labs as part of the +XNS routing protocol. RIP is a :term:`distance-vector` protocol and is +based on the :term:`Bellman-Ford` algorithms. As a distance-vector +protocol, RIP router send updates to its neighbors periodically, thus +allowing the convergence to a known topology. In each update, the +distance to any given network will be broadcast to its neighboring +router. + +*ripd* supports RIP version 2 as described in RFC2453 and RIP +version 1 as described in RFC1058. + +.. _starting-and-stopping-ripd: + +Starting and Stopping ripd +========================== + +The default configuration file name of *ripd*'s is :file:`ripd.conf`. When +invocation *ripd* searches directory |INSTALL_PREFIX_ETC|. If :file:`ripd.conf` +is not there next search current directory. + +RIP uses UDP port 520 to send and receive RIP packets. So the user must have +the capability to bind the port, generally this means that the user must have +superuser privileges. RIP protocol requires interface information maintained by +*zebra* daemon. So running *zebra* is mandatory to run *ripd*. Thus minimum +sequence for running RIP is like below: + +:: + + # zebra -d + # ripd -d + + +Please note that *zebra* must be invoked before *ripd*. + +To stop *ripd*.

Common options that can be specified +(:ref:`common-invocation-options`). + + +.. _rip-netmask: + +RIP netmask +----------- + +The netmask features of *ripd* support both version 1 and version 2 of RIP. +Version 1 of RIP originally contained no netmask information. In RIP version 1, +network classes were originally used to determine the size of the netmask. +Class A networks use 8 bits of mask, Class B networks use 16 bits of masks, +while Class C networks use 24 bits of mask. Today, the most widely used method +of a network mask is assigned to the packet on the basis of the interface that +received the packet. Version 2 of RIP supports a variable length subnet mask +(VLSM). By extending the subnet mask, the mask can be divided and reused. Each +subnet can be used for different purposes such as large to middle size LANs and +WAN links. FRR *ripd* does not support the non-sequential netmasks that are +included in RIP Version 2. + +In a case of similar information with the same prefix and metric, the old +information will be suppressed. Ripd does not currently support equal cost +multipath routing. + +.. _rip-configuration: + +RIP Configuration +================= + +.. clicmd:: router rip [vrf NAME] + + The `router rip` command is necessary to enable RIP. To disable RIP, use the + `no router rip` command. RIP must be enabled before carrying out any of the + RIP commands. + +.. clicmd:: network NETWORK + + + Set the RIP enable interface by NETWORK. The interfaces which have addresses + matching with NETWORK are enabled. + + This group of commands either enables or disables RIP interfaces between + certain numbers of a specified network address. For example, if the network + for 10.0.0.0/24 is RIP enabled, this would result in all the addresses from + 10.0.0.0 to 10.0.0.255 being enabled for RIP. The `no network` command will + disable RIP for the specified network. + +.. clicmd:: network IFNAME + + + Set a RIP enabled interface by IFNAME. Both the sending and + receiving of RIP packets will be enabled on the port specified in the + `network ifname` command. The `no network ifname` command will disable + RIP on the specified interface. + +.. clicmd:: neighbor A.B.C.D + + + Specify a RIP neighbor to send updates to. This is required when a neighbor + is connected via a network that does not support multicast, or when it is + desired to statically define a neighbor. RIP updates will be sent via unicast + to each neighbour. Neighbour updates are in addition to any multicast updates + sent when an interface is not in passive mode (see the `passive-interface` + command). RIP will continue to process updates received from both the + neighbor and any received via multicast. The `no neighbor a.b.c.d` command + will disable the RIP neighbor. + + Below is very simple RIP configuration. Interface `eth0` and interface which + address match to `10.0.0.0/8` are RIP enabled. + + .. code-block:: frr + + ! + router rip + network 10.0.0.0/8 + network eth0 + ! + + +.. clicmd:: passive-interface (IFNAME|default) + + + This command sets the specified interface to passive mode.

If specified + without a number, a maximum is taken (compiled with ``--enable-multipath``). + +.. _rip-version-control: + +RIP Version Control +=================== + +RIP can be configured to send either Version 1 or Version 2 packets. The +default is to send RIPv2 while accepting both RIPv1 and RIPv2 (and replying +with packets of the appropriate version for REQUESTS / triggered updates). The +version to receive and send can be specified globally, and further overridden on +a per-interface basis if needs be for send and receive separately (see below). + +It is important to note that RIPv1 cannot be authenticated. Further, if RIPv1 +is enabled then RIP will reply to REQUEST packets, sending the state of its RIP +routing table to any remote routers that ask on demand. For a more detailed +discussion on the security implications of RIPv1 see :ref:`rip-authentication`. + +.. clicmd:: version VERSION + + Set RIP version to accept for reads and send. VERSION can be either + ``1`` or ``2``. + + Disabling RIPv1 by specifying version 2 is STRONGLY encouraged, + :ref:`rip-authentication`.

For each different destination, the announcement which + is selected as the best is inserted into the BGP speaker's Loc-RIB. + +- The routes which are inserted in the Loc-RIB are considered for announcement + to all the peers (except the one from which the route came). This is done by + passing the routes in the Loc-RIB through the `Out` filters corresponding to + each peer. These filters can reject the route, accept it unmodified, or + accept it with some of its attributes modified. Those routes which are + accepted by the `Out` filters of a peer are announced to that peer. + +.. _fig-normal-processing: + +.. figure:: ../figures/fig-normal-processing.png + :alt: Normal announcement processing + :align: center + + Announcement processing inside a 'normal' BGP speaker + +.. _fig-topologies-full: + +.. figure:: ../figures/fig_topologies_full.png + :alt: Full Mesh BGP Topology + :align: center + + Full Mesh + +.. _fig-topologies-rs: + +.. figure:: ../figures/fig_topologies_rs.png + :alt: Route Server BGP Topology + :align: center + + Route server and clients + +Of course we want that the routing tables obtained in each of the routers are +the same when using the route server than when not. But as a consequence of +having a single BGP peering (against the route server), the BGP speakers can no +longer distinguish from/to which peer each announce comes/goes. + +.. _filter-delegation: + +This means that the routers connected to the route server are not able to apply +by themselves the same input/output filters as in the full mesh scenario, so +they have to delegate those functions to the route server. + +Even more, the 'best path' selection must be also performed inside the route +server on behalf of its clients. The reason is that if, after applying the +filters of the announcer and the (potential) receiver, the route server decides +to send to some client two or more different announcements referred to the same +destination, the client will only retain the last one, considering it as an +implicit withdrawal of the previous announcements for the same destination. +This is the expected behavior of a BGP speaker as defined in :rfc:`1771`, +and even though there are some proposals of mechanisms that permit multiple +paths for the same destination to be sent through a single BGP peering, none +are currently supported by most existing BGP implementations. + +As a consequence a route server must maintain additional information and +perform additional tasks for a RS-client that those necessary for common BGP +peerings. Essentially a route server must: + +.. _route-server-tasks: + +- Maintain a separated Routing Information Base (Loc-RIB) + for each peer configured as RS-client, containing the routes + selected as a result of the 'Best Path Selection' process + that is performed on behalf of that RS-client. + +- Whenever it receives an announcement from a RS-client, + it must consider it for the Loc-RIBs of the other RS-clients. + + - This means that for each of them the route server must pass the + announcement through the appropriate `Out` filter of the + announcer. + + - Then through the appropriate `In` filter of the potential receiver. + + - Only if the announcement is accepted by both filters it will be passed + to the 'Best Path Selection' process. + + - Finally, it might go into the Loc-RIB of the receiver. + +When we talk about the 'appropriate' filter, both the announcer and the +receiver of the route must be taken into account. Suppose that the route server +receives an announcement from client A, and the route server is considering it +for the Loc-RIB of client B. The filters that should be applied are the same +that would be used in the full mesh scenario, i.e., first the `Out` filter of +router A for announcements going to router B, and then the `In` filter of +router B for announcements coming from router A. + +We call 'Export Policy' of a RS-client to the set of `Out` filters that the +client would use if there was no route server. The same applies for the 'Import +Policy' of a RS-client and the set of `In` filters of the client if there was +no route server. + +It is also common to demand from a route server that it does not modify some +BGP attributes (next-hop, as-path and MED) that are usually modified by +standard BGP speakers before announcing a route. + +The announcement processing model implemented by FRR is shown in +:ref:`fig-rs-processing`. The figure shows a mixture of RS-clients (B, C and D) +with normal BGP peers (A). There are some details that worth additional +comments: + +- Announcements coming from a normal BGP peer are also considered for the + Loc-RIBs of all the RS-clients. But logically they do not pass through any + export policy. + +- Those peers that are configured as RS-clients do not receive any announce + from the `Main` Loc-RIB. + +- Apart from import and export policies, `In` and `Out` filters can also be set + for RS-clients. `In` filters might be useful when the route server has also + normal BGP peers. On the other hand, `Out` filters for RS-clients are + probably unnecessary, but we decided not to remove them as they do not hurt + anybody (they can always be left empty). + +.. _fig-rs-processing: +.. figure:: ../figures/fig-rs-processing.png + :align: center + :alt: Route Server Processing Model + + Announcement processing model implemented by the Route Server + +.. _commands-for-configuring-a-route-server: + +Commands for configuring a Route Server +--------------------------------------- + +Now we will describe the commands that have been added to frr +in order to support the route server features. + +.. clicmd:: neighbor PEER-GROUP route-server-client + +.. clicmd:: neighbor A.B.C.D route-server-client + +.. clicmd:: neighbor X:X::X:X route-server-client + + This command configures the peer given by `peer`, `A.B.C.D` or `X:X::X:X` as + an RS-client. + + Actually this command is not new, it already existed in standard FRR. It + enables the transparent mode for the specified peer. This means that some + BGP attributes (as-path, next-hop and MED) of the routes announced to that + peer are not modified. + + With the route server patch, this command, apart from setting the + transparent mode, creates a new Loc-RIB dedicated to the specified peer + (those named `Loc-RIB for X` in :ref:`fig-rs-processing`.). Starting from + that moment, every announcement received by the route server will be also + considered for the new Loc-RIB. + +.. clicmd:: neigbor A.B.C.D|X.X::X.X|peer-group route-map WORD in|out + + This set of commands can be used to specify the route-map that represents + the Import or Export policy of a peer which is configured as a RS-client + (with the previous command). + +.. clicmd:: match peer A.B.C.D|X:X::X:X + + This is a new *match* statement for use in route-maps, enabling them to + describe import/export policies. As we said before, an import/export policy + represents a set of input/output filters of the RS-client. This statement + makes possible that a single route-map represents the full set of filters + that a BGP speaker would use for its different peers in a non-RS scenario. + + The *match peer* statement has different semantics whether it is used inside + an import or an export route-map. In the first case the statement matches if + the address of the peer who sends the announce is the same that the address + specified by {A.B.C.D|X:X::X:X}. For export route-maps it matches when + {A.B.C.D|X:X::X:X} is the address of the RS-Client into whose Loc-RIB the + announce is going to be inserted (how the same export policy is applied + before different Loc-RIBs is shown in :ref:`fig-rs-processing`.). + +.. clicmd:: call WORD + + This command (also used inside a route-map) jumps into a different + route-map, whose name is specified by `WORD`. When the called + route-map finishes, depending on its result the original route-map + continues or not. Apart from being useful for making import/export + route-maps easier to write, this command can also be used inside + any normal (in or out) route-map. + +.. _example-of-route-server-configuration: + +Example of Route Server Configuration +------------------------------------- + +Finally we are going to show how to configure a FRR daemon to act as a +Route Server. For this purpose we are going to present a scenario without +route server, and then we will show how to use the configurations of the BGP +routers to generate the configuration of the route server. + +All the configuration files shown in this section have been taken +from scenarios which were tested using the VNUML tool +`http://www.dit.upm.es/vnuml,VNUML `_. + +.. _configuration-of-the-bgp-routers-without-route-server: + +Configuration of the BGP routers without Route Server +----------------------------------------------------- + +We will suppose that our initial scenario is an exchange point with three +BGP capable routers, named RA, RB and RC. Each of the BGP speakers generates +some routes (with the `network` command), and establishes BGP peerings +against the other two routers. These peerings have In and Out route-maps +configured, named like 'PEER-X-IN' or 'PEER-X-OUT'. For example the +configuration file for router RA could be the following: + +.. code-block:: frr + + #Configuration for router 'RA' + ! + hostname RA + password **** + ! + router bgp 65001 + no bgp default ipv4-unicast + neighbor 2001:0DB8::B remote-as 65002 + neighbor 2001:0DB8::C remote-as 65003 + ! + address-family ipv6 + network 2001:0DB8:AAAA:1::/64 + network 2001:0DB8:AAAA:2::/64 + network 2001:0DB8:0000:1::/64 + network 2001:0DB8:0000:2::/64 + neighbor 2001:0DB8::B activate + neighbor 2001:0DB8::B soft-reconfiguration inbound + neighbor 2001:0DB8::B route-map PEER-B-IN in + neighbor 2001:0DB8::B route-map PEER-B-OUT out + neighbor 2001:0DB8::C activate + neighbor 2001:0DB8::C soft-reconfiguration inbound + neighbor 2001:0DB8::C route-map PEER-C-IN in + neighbor 2001:0DB8::C route-map PEER-C-OUT out + exit-address-family + ! + ipv6 prefix-list COMMON-PREFIXES seq 5 permit 2001:0DB8:0000::/48 ge 64 le 64 + ipv6 prefix-list COMMON-PREFIXES seq 10 deny any + ! + ipv6 prefix-list PEER-A-PREFIXES seq 5 permit 2001:0DB8:AAAA::/48 ge 64 le 64 + ipv6 prefix-list PEER-A-PREFIXES seq 10 deny any + ! + ipv6 prefix-list PEER-B-PREFIXES seq 5 permit 2001:0DB8:BBBB::/48 ge 64 le 64 + ipv6 prefix-list PEER-B-PREFIXES seq 10 deny any + ! + ipv6 prefix-list PEER-C-PREFIXES seq 5 permit 2001:0DB8:CCCC::/48 ge 64 le 64 + ipv6 prefix-list PEER-C-PREFIXES seq 10 deny any + ! + route-map PEER-B-IN permit 10 + match ipv6 address prefix-list COMMON-PREFIXES + set metric 100 + route-map PEER-B-IN permit 20 + match ipv6 address prefix-list PEER-B-PREFIXES + set community 65001:11111 + ! + route-map PEER-C-IN permit 10 + match ipv6 address prefix-list COMMON-PREFIXES + set metric 200 + route-map PEER-C-IN permit 20 + match ipv6 address prefix-list PEER-C-PREFIXES + set community 65001:22222 + ! + route-map PEER-B-OUT permit 10 + match ipv6 address prefix-list PEER-A-PREFIXES + ! + route-map PEER-C-OUT permit 10 + match ipv6 address prefix-list PEER-A-PREFIXES + ! + line vty + ! + + +.. _configuration-of-the-bgp-routers-with-route-server: + +Configuration of the BGP routers with Route Server +-------------------------------------------------- + +To convert the initial scenario into one with route server, first we must +modify the configuration of routers RA, RB and RC. Now they must not peer +between them, but only with the route server. For example, RA's +configuration would turn into: + +.. code-block:: frr + + # Configuration for router 'RA' + ! + hostname RA + password **** + ! + router bgp 65001 + no bgp default ipv4-unicast + neighbor 2001:0DB8::FFFF remote-as 65000 + ! + address-family ipv6 + network 2001:0DB8:AAAA:1::/64 + network 2001:0DB8:AAAA:2::/64 + network 2001:0DB8:0000:1::/64 + network 2001:0DB8:0000:2::/64 + + neighbor 2001:0DB8::FFFF activate + neighbor 2001:0DB8::FFFF soft-reconfiguration inbound + exit-address-family + ! + line vty + ! + + +Which is logically much simpler than its initial configuration, as it now +maintains only one BGP peering and all the filters (route-maps) have +disappeared. + +.. _configuration-of-the-route-server-itself: + +Configuration of the Route Server itself +---------------------------------------- + +As we said when we described the functions of a route server +(:ref:`description-of-the-route-server-model`), it is in charge of all the +route filtering. To achieve that, the In and Out filters from the RA, RB and RC +configurations must be converted into Import and Export policies in the route +server. + +This is a fragment of the route server configuration (we only show +the policies for client RA): + +.. code-block:: frr + + # Configuration for Route Server ('RS') + ! + hostname RS + password ix + ! + router bgp 65000 view RS + no bgp default ipv4-unicast + neighbor 2001:0DB8::A remote-as 65001 + neighbor 2001:0DB8::B remote-as 65002 + neighbor 2001:0DB8::C remote-as 65003 + ! + address-family ipv6 + neighbor 2001:0DB8::A activate + neighbor 2001:0DB8::A route-server-client + neighbor 2001:0DB8::A route-map RSCLIENT-A-IMPORT in + neighbor 2001:0DB8::A route-map RSCLIENT-A-EXPORT out + neighbor 2001:0DB8::A soft-reconfiguration inbound + + neighbor 2001:0DB8::B activate + neighbor 2001:0DB8::B route-server-client + neighbor 2001:0DB8::B route-map RSCLIENT-B-IMPORT in + neighbor 2001:0DB8::B route-map RSCLIENT-B-EXPORT out + neighbor 2001:0DB8::B soft-reconfiguration inbound + + neighbor 2001:0DB8::C activate + neighbor 2001:0DB8::C route-server-client + neighbor 2001:0DB8::C route-map RSCLIENT-C-IMPORT in + neighbor 2001:0DB8::C route-map RSCLIENT-C-EXPORT out + neighbor 2001:0DB8::C soft-reconfiguration inbound + exit-address-family + ! + ipv6 prefix-list COMMON-PREFIXES seq 5 permit 2001:0DB8:0000::/48 ge 64 le 64 + ipv6 prefix-list COMMON-PREFIXES seq 10 deny any + ! + ipv6 prefix-list PEER-A-PREFIXES seq 5 permit 2001:0DB8:AAAA::/48 ge 64 le 64 + ipv6 prefix-list PEER-A-PREFIXES seq 10 deny any + ! + ipv6 prefix-list PEER-B-PREFIXES seq 5 permit 2001:0DB8:BBBB::/48 ge 64 le 64 + ipv6 prefix-list PEER-B-PREFIXES seq 10 deny any + ! + ipv6 prefix-list PEER-C-PREFIXES seq 5 permit 2001:0DB8:CCCC::/48 ge 64 le 64 + ipv6 prefix-list PEER-C-PREFIXES seq 10 deny any + ! + route-map RSCLIENT-A-IMPORT permit 10 + match peer 2001:0DB8::B + call A-IMPORT-FROM-B + route-map RSCLIENT-A-IMPORT permit 20 + match peer 2001:0DB8::C + call A-IMPORT-FROM-C + ! + route-map A-IMPORT-FROM-B permit 10 + match ipv6 address prefix-list COMMON-PREFIXES + set metric 100 + route-map A-IMPORT-FROM-B permit 20 + match ipv6 address prefix-list PEER-B-PREFIXES + set community 65001:11111 + ! + route-map A-IMPORT-FROM-C permit 10 + match ipv6 address prefix-list COMMON-PREFIXES + set metric 200 + route-map A-IMPORT-FROM-C permit 20 + match ipv6 address prefix-list PEER-C-PREFIXES + set community 65001:22222 + ! + route-map RSCLIENT-A-EXPORT permit 10 + match peer 2001:0DB8::B + match ipv6 address prefix-list PEER-A-PREFIXES + route-map RSCLIENT-A-EXPORT permit 20 + match peer 2001:0DB8::C + match ipv6 address prefix-list PEER-A-PREFIXES + ! + ... + ... + ... + + +If you compare the initial configuration of RA with the route server +configuration above, you can see how easy it is to generate the Import and +Export policies for RA from the In and Out route-maps of RA's original +configuration. + +When there was no route server, RA maintained two peerings, one with RB and +another with RC. Each of this peerings had an In route-map configured. To +build the Import route-map for client RA in the route server, simply add +route-map entries following this scheme: + +:: + + route-map permit 10 + match peer + call + route-map permit 20 + match peer + call + + +This is exactly the process that has been followed to generate the route-map +RSCLIENT-A-IMPORT. The route-maps that are called inside it (A-IMPORT-FROM-B +and A-IMPORT-FROM-C) are exactly the same than the In route-maps from the +original configuration of RA (PEER-B-IN and PEER-C-IN), only the name is +different. + +The same could have been done to create the Export policy for RA (route-map +RSCLIENT-A-EXPORT), but in this case the original Out route-maps where so +simple that we decided not to use the `call WORD` commands, and we +integrated all in a single route-map (RSCLIENT-A-EXPORT). + +The Import and Export policies for RB and RC are not shown, but +the process would be identical. + +Further considerations about Import and Export route-maps +--------------------------------------------------------- + +The current version of the route server patch only allows to specify a +route-map for import and export policies, while in a standard BGP speaker +apart from route-maps there are other tools for performing input and output +filtering (access-lists, community-lists, ...). But this does not represent +any limitation, as all kinds of filters can be included in import/export +route-maps. For example suppose that in the non-route-server scenario peer +RA had the following filters configured for input from peer B: + +.. code-block:: frr + + neighbor 2001:0DB8::B prefix-list LIST-1 in + neighbor 2001:0DB8::B filter-list LIST-2 in + neighbor 2001:0DB8::B route-map PEER-B-IN in + ... + ... + route-map PEER-B-IN permit 10 + match ipv6 address prefix-list COMMON-PREFIXES + set local-preference 100 + route-map PEER-B-IN permit 20 + match ipv6 address prefix-list PEER-B-PREFIXES + set community 65001:11111 + + +It is possible to write a single route-map which is equivalent to the three +filters (the community-list, the prefix-list and the route-map). That route-map +can then be used inside the Import policy in the route server. Lets see how to +do it: + +.. code-block:: frr + + neighbor 2001:0DB8::A route-map RSCLIENT-A-IMPORT in + ... + ! + ... + route-map RSCLIENT-A-IMPORT permit 10 + match peer 2001:0DB8::B + call A-IMPORT-FROM-B + ... + ... + ! + route-map A-IMPORT-FROM-B permit 1 + match ipv6 address prefix-list LIST-1 + match as-path LIST-2 + on-match goto 10 + route-map A-IMPORT-FROM-B deny 2 + route-map A-IMPORT-FROM-B permit 10 + match ipv6 address prefix-list COMMON-PREFIXES + set local-preference 100 + route-map A-IMPORT-FROM-B permit 20 + match ipv6 address prefix-list PEER-B-PREFIXES + set community 65001:11111 + ! + ... + ... + + +The route-map A-IMPORT-FROM-B is equivalent to the three filters (LIST-1, +LIST-2 and PEER-B-IN). The first entry of route-map A-IMPORT-FROM-B (sequence +number 1) matches if and only if both the prefix-list LIST-1 and the +filter-list LIST-2 match. If that happens, due to the 'on-match goto 10' +statement the next route-map entry to be processed will be number 10, and as of +that point route-map A-IMPORT-FROM-B is identical to PEER-B-IN. If the first +entry does not match, `on-match goto 10`' will be ignored and the next +processed entry will be number 2, which will deny the route. + +Thus, the result is the same that with the three original filters, i.e., if +either LIST-1 or LIST-2 rejects the route, it does not reach the route-map +PEER-B-IN. In case both LIST-1 and LIST-2 accept the route, it passes to +PEER-B-IN, which can reject, accept or modify the route. diff --git a/doc/user/rpki.rst b/doc/user/rpki.rst new file mode 100644 index 0000000..4053536 --- /dev/null +++ b/doc/user/rpki.rst @@ -0,0 +1,284 @@ +.. _prefix-origin-validation-using-rpki: + +Prefix Origin Validation Using RPKI +=================================== + +Prefix Origin Validation allows BGP routers to verify if the origin AS of an IP +prefix is legitimate to announce this IP prefix.

If you specify a port +number when starting the daemon, these entries may not be needed. + +You may need to make changes to the config files in |INSTALL_PREFIX_ETC|. + +Systemd +------- +Although not installed when installing from source, FRR provides a service file +for use with ``systemd``. It is located in :file:`tools/frr.service` in the Git +repository. If ``systemctl status frr.service`` indicates that the FRR service +is not found, copy the service file from the Git repository into your preferred +location. A good place is usually ``/etc/systemd/system/``. + +After issuing a ``systemctl daemon-reload``, you should be able to start the +FRR service via ``systemctl start frr``. If this fails, or no daemons are +started. check the ``journalctl`` logs for an indication of what went wrong. + +Operations +---------- + +This section covers a few common operational tasks and how to perform them. + +Interactive Shell +^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ +FRR offers an IOS-like interactive shell called ``vtysh`` where a user can run +individual configuration or show commands. To get into this shell, issue the +``vtysh`` command from either a privilege user (root, or with sudo) or a user +account that is part of the ``frrvty`` group. +e.g. + +.. code-block:: console + + root@ub18:~# vtysh + + Hello, this is FRRouting (version 8.1-dev). + Copyright 1996-2005 Kunihiro Ishiguro, et al. + + ub18# + +.. note:: + The default install location for vtysh is /usr/bin/vtysh + + +Restarting +^^^^^^^^^^ + +Restarting kills all running FRR daemons and starts them again. Any unsaved +configuration will be lost. + +.. code-block:: console + + service frr restart + +.. note:: + + Alternatively, you can invoke the init script directly:: + + /etc/init.d/frr restart + + Or, if using systemd:: + + systemctl restart frr + +Reloading +^^^^^^^^^ + +Reloading applies the differential between on-disk configuration and the +current effective configuration of running FRR processes. This includes +starting daemons that were previously stopped and any changes made to +individual or unified daemon configuration files. + +.. code-block:: console + + service frr reload + +.. note:: + + Alternatively, you can invoke the init script directly:: + + /etc/init.d/frr reload + + Or, if using systemd:: + + systemctl reload frr + +See :ref:`FRR-RELOAD ` for more about the `frr-reload.py` script. + + +Starting a new daemon +^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ + +Suppose *bgpd* and *zebra* are running, and you wish to start *pimd*. In +``/etc/frr/daemons`` make the following change: + +.. code-block:: diff + + - pimd=no + + pimd=yes + +Then perform a reload. + +Currently there is no way to stop or restart an individual daemon. This is +because FRR's monitoring program cannot currently distinguish between a crashed +/ killed daemon versus one that has been intentionally stopped or restarted. +The closest that can be achieved is to remove all configuration for the daemon, +and set its line in ``/etc/frr/daemons`` to ``=no``. Once this is done, the +daemon will be stopped the next time FRR is restarted. + + +Network Namespaces +^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ + +It is possible to run FRR in different network namespaces so it can be +further compartmentalized (e.g. confining to a smaller subset network). +The network namespace configuration can be used in the default FRR +configuration pathspace or it can be used in a different pathspace +(`-N/--pathspace`). + +To use FRR network namespace in the default pathspace you should add +or uncomment the ``watchfrr_options`` line in ``/etc/frr/daemons``: + +.. code-block:: diff + + - #watchfrr_options="--netns" + + watchfrr_options="--netns=" + +If you want to use a different pathspace with the network namespace +(the recommended way) you should add/uncomment the ``watchfrr_options`` +line in ``/etc/frr//daemons``: + +.. code-block:: diff + + - #watchfrr_options="--netns" + + #watchfrr_options="--netns=" + + + + # `--netns` argument is optional and if not provided it will + + # default to the pathspace name. + + watchfrr_options="--netns" + +To start FRR in the new pathspace+network namespace the initialization script +should be called with an extra parameter: + + +.. code:: + + /etc/init.d/frr start + + +.. note:: + + Some Linux distributions might not use the default init script + shipped with FRR, in that case you might want to try running the + bundled script in ``/usr/lib/frr/frrinit.sh``. + + On systemd you might create different units or parameterize the + existing one.

FRR itself does +not support SNMP agent (server daemon) functionality but is able to connect to +a SNMP agent using the the AgentX protocol (:rfc:`2741`) and make the +routing protocol MIBs available through it. + +Note that SNMP Support needs to be enabled at compile-time and loaded as module +on daemon startup. Refer to :ref:`loadable-module-support` on the latter. If +you do not start the daemons with snmp module support snmp will not work +properly. + +.. _getting-and-installing-an-snmp-agent: + +Getting and installing an SNMP agent +==================================== + +The supported SNMP agent is AgentX. We recommend to use +the latest version of `net-snmp` which was formerly known as `ucd-snmp`.

Once snmp +agents connects they start receiving a heavy amount of SNMP data (all the +routes) which cannot be handled quick enough. It's recommended (by several +vendors as well) to exclude these OID's unless you really need them, which +can be achieved by amending the default view from SNMP + +:file:`/etc/snmp/snmpd.conf`: + +:: + + # This is the default view + view all included .1 80 + # Remove ipRouteTable from view + view all excluded .1.3.6.1.2.1.4.21 + # Remove ipNetToMediaTable from view + view all excluded .1.3.6.1.2.1.4.22 + # Remove ipNetToPhysicalPhysAddress from view + view all excluded .1.3.6.1.2.1.4.35 + # Remove ipCidrRouteTable from view + view all excluded .1.3.6.1.2.1.4.24 + # Optionally protect SNMP private/secret values + view all excluded .1.3.6.1.6.3.15 + view all excluded .1.3.6.1.6.3.16 + view all excluded .1.3.6.1.6.3.18 + # Optionally allow SNMP public info (sysName, location, etc) + view system included .iso.org.dod.internet.mgmt.mib-2.system + + +.. _agentx-configuration: + +AgentX configuration +==================== + +.. program:: configure + +To enable AgentX protocol support, FRR must have been build with the +:option:`--enable-snmp` or `--enable-snmp=agentx` option.

This policy is applied to incoming +original unicast routes before the redistribution translations +(described below) are performed. + +Redistribution of `bgp-direct` routes is performed in one of three +possible modes: `plain`, `nve-group`, or `resolve-nve`. +The default mode is `plain`. +These modes indicate the kind of translations applied to routes before +they are added to the VNC RIB. + +In `plain` mode, the route's next hop is unchanged and the RD is set +based on the next hop. +For `bgp-direct` redistribution, the following translations are performed: + +- The VN address is set to the original unicast route's next hop address. +- The UN address is NOT set. (VN->UN mapping will occur via + ENCAP route or attribute, based on `vnc advertise-un-method` + setting, generated by the RFP registration of the actual NVE) +- The RD is set to as if auto:vn:0 were specified (i.e., + `rd_type=IP=1`:`IPv4-address=VN-address`:`two-byte-integer=0`) +- The RT list is included in the extended community list copied from the + original unicast route (i.e., it must be set in the original unicast route). + +In `nve-group` mode, routes are registered with VNC as if they came from an NVE +in the nve-group designated in the `vnc redistribute nve-group` command. The +following translations are performed: + +- The next hop/VN address is set to the VN prefix configured for the + redistribute nve-group. +- The UN address is set to the UN prefix configured for the redistribute + nve-group. +- The RD is set to the RD configured for the redistribute nve-group. +- The RT list is set to the RT list configured for the redistribute nve-group. + If `bgp-direct` routes are being redistributed, any extended communities + present in the original unicast route will also be included. + +In `resolve-nve` mode, the next hop of the original BGP route is typically the +address of an NVE connected router (CE) connected by one or more NVEs. +Each of the connected NVEs will register, via RFP, a VNC host route to the CE. +This mode may be though of as a mechanism to proxy RFP registrations of BGP +unicast routes on behalf of registering NVEs. + +Multiple copies of the BGP route, one per matching NVE host route, will be +added to VNC. In other words, for a given BGP unicast route, each instance of +a RFP-registered host route to the unicast route's next hop will result in an +instance of an imported VNC route. Each such imported VNC route will have a +prefix equal to the original BGP unicast route's prefix, and a next hop equal +to the next hop of the matching RFP-registered host route. If there is no +RFP-registered host route to the next hop of the BGP unicast route, no +corresponding VNC route will be imported. + +The following translations are applied: + +- The Next Hop is set to the next hop of the NVE route (i.e., the + VN address of the NVE). + +- The extended community list in the new route is set to the + union of: + +- Any extended communities in the original BGP route + + - Any extended communities in the NVE route + - An added route-origin extended community with the next hop of the + original BGP route + is added to the new route. + The value of the local administrator field defaults 5226 but may + be configured by the user via the `roo-ec-local-admin` parameter. + +- The Tunnel Encapsulation attribute is set to the value of the Tunnel + Encapsulation attribute of the NVE route, if any. + + +bgp-direct-to-nve-groups routes +^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ + +Unicast routes from the main or a designated instance of BGP may be +redistributed to VNC as bgp-direct-to-nve-groups routes. These routes are NOT +announced via BGP, but they are made available for local RFP lookup in response +to queries from NVEs. + +A non-main/default BGP instance is configured using the +`router bgp AS view NAME` command as described elsewhere in this document. + +In order for a route in the unicast BGP RIB to be made available to a querying +NVE, there must already be, available to that NVE, an (interior) VNC route +matching the next hop address of the unicast route. When the unicast route is +provided to the NVE, its next hop is replaced by the next hop of the +corresponding NVE. If there are multiple longest-prefix-match VNC routes, the +unicast route will be replicated for each. + +There is currently no policy (prefix-list or route-map) support for +`bgp-direct-to-nve-groups` routes. + +Redistribution Command Syntax +^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ + +.. clicmd:: vnc redistribute ipv4|ipv6 bgp|bgp-direct|ipv6 bgp-direct-to-nve-groups|connected|kernel|ospf|rip|static + +.. clicmd:: vnc redistribute ipv4|ipv6 bgp-direct-to-nve-groups view VIEWNAME + + + Import (or do not import) prefixes from another routing protocols.

The VRRP router + controlling the IPv4 or IPv6 address(es) associated with a virtual router is + called the Master, and it forwards packets sent to these IPv4 or IPv6 + addresses. VRRP Master routers are configured with virtual IPv4 or IPv6 + addresses, and VRRP Backup routers infer the address family of the virtual + addresses being carried based on the transport protocol. Within a VRRP + router, the virtual routers in each of the IPv4 and IPv6 address families + are a domain unto themselves and do not overlap. The election process + provides dynamic failover in the forwarding responsibility should the Master + become unavailable. For IPv4, the advantage gained from using VRRP is a + higher-availability default path without requiring configuration of dynamic + routing or router discovery protocols on every end-host. For IPv6, the + advantage gained from using VRRP for IPv6 is a quicker switchover to Backup + routers than can be obtained with standard IPv6 Neighbor Discovery + mechanisms. + +VRRP accomplishes these goals primarily by using a virtual MAC address shared +between the physical routers participating in a VRRP virtual router. This +reduces churn in the neighbor tables of hosts and downstream switches and makes +router failover theoretically transparent to these devices. + +FRR implements the election protocol and handles changing the operating system +interface configuration in response to protocol state changes. + +As a consequence of the shared virtual MAC requirement, VRRP is currently +supported only on Linux, as Linux is the only operating system that provides +the necessary features in its network stack to make implementing this protocol +feasible. + +When a VRRP router is acting as the Master router, FRR allows the interface(s) +with the backed-up IP addresses to remain up and functional. When the router +transitions to Backup state, these interfaces are set into ``protodown`` mode. +This is an interface mode that is functionally equivalent to ``NO-CARRIER``. +Physical drivers typically use this state indication to drop traffic on an +interface. In the case of VRRP, the interfaces in question are macvlan devices, +which are virtual interfaces. Since the IP addresses managed by VRRP are on +these interfaces, this has the same effect as removing these addresses from the +interface, but is implemented as a state flag. + +.. _vrrp-configuration: + +Configuring VRRP +================ + +VRRP is configured on a per-interface basis, with some global defaults +accessible outside the interface context. + +.. _vrrp-system-configuration: + +System Configuration +-------------------- + +FRR's VRRP implementation uses Linux macvlan devices to to implement the shared +virtual MAC feature of the protocol. Currently, it does not create those system +interfaces - they must be configured outside of FRR before VRRP can be enabled +on them. + +Each interface on which VRRP will be enabled must have at least one macvlan +device configured with the virtual MAC and placed in the proper operation mode. +The addresses backed up by VRRP are assigned to these interfaces. + +Suppose you have an interface ``eth0`` with the following configuration: + +.. code-block:: console + + $ ip addr show eth0 + 2: eth0: mtu 1500 qdisc fq_codel state UP group default qlen 1000 + link/ether 02:17:45:00:aa:aa brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff + inet 10.0.2.15/24 brd 10.0.2.255 scope global dynamic eth0 + valid_lft 72532sec preferred_lft 72532sec + inet6 fe80::17:45ff:fe00:aaaa/64 scope link + valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever + +Suppose that the IPv4 and IPv6 addresses you want to back up are ``10.0.2.16`` +and ``2001:db8::370:7334``, and that they will be managed by the virtual router +with id ``5``. A macvlan device with the appropriate MAC address must be created +before VRRP can begin to operate. + +If you are using ``ifupdown2``, the configuration is as follows: + +.. code-block:: console + + iface eth0 + ... + vrrp 5 10.0.2.16/24 2001:0db8::0370:7334/64 + +Applying this configuration with ``ifreload -a`` will create the appropriate +macvlan device.

This +is how FRR's VRRP implementation accomplishes the virtual MAC requirement on +real hardware. + +Ingress traffic is a more complicated matter. Macvlan devices have multiple +operating modes that change how ingress traffic is handled. Of relevance to +FRR's implementation are the ``bridge`` and ``private`` modes. In ``private`` +mode, any ingress traffic on ``eth0`` (in our example) with a source MAC +address equal to the MAC address on any of ``eth0``'s macvlan devices will be +placed *only* on that macvlan device. This curious behavior is undesirable, +since FRR's implementation of VRRP needs to be able to receive advertisements +from neighbors while in Backup mode - i.e., while its macvlan devices are in +``protodown on``. If the macvlan devices are instead set to ``bridge`` mode, +all ingress traffic shows up on all interfaces - including ``eth0`` - +regardless of source MAC or any other factor. Consequently, macvlans used by +FRR for VRRP must be set to ``bridge`` mode or the protocol will not function +correctly. + +As for the MAC address assigned to this interface, the last byte of the address +holds the :abbr:`VRID (Virtual Router Identifier)`, in this case ``0x05``. The +second to last byte is ``0x01``, as specified by the RFC for IPv4 operation. +The IPv6 MAC address is be identical except that the second to last byte is +defined to be ``0x02``. Two things to note from this arrangement: + +1. There can only be up to 255 unique Virtual Routers on an interface (only 1 + byte is available for the VRID) +2. IPv4 and IPv6 addresses must be assigned to different macvlan devices, + because they have different MAC addresses + +Finally, take note of the generated IPv6 link local address on the interface. +For interfaces on which VRRP will operate in IPv6 mode, this link local +*cannot* be derived using the usual EUI-64 method. This is because VRRP +advertisements are sent from the link local address of this interface, and VRRP +uses the source address of received advertisements as part of its election +algorithm. If the IPv6 link local of a router is equivalent to the IPv6 link +local in a received advertisement, this can cause both routers to assume the +Master role (very bad). ``ifupdown`` knows to set the ``addrgenmode`` of the +interface properly, but when using ``iproute2`` to create the macvlan devices, +you must be careful to manually specify ``addrgenmode random``. + +A brief note on the Backup state +^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ + +It is worth noting here that an alternate choice for the implementation of the +Backup state, such as removing all the IP addresses assigned to the macvlan +device or deleting their local routes instead of setting the device into +``protodown on``, would allow the protocol to function regardless of whether +the macvlan device(s) are set to ``private`` or ``bridge`` mode. Indeed, the +strange behavior of the kernel macvlan driver in ``private`` mode, whereby it +performs what may be thought of as a sort of interface-level layer 2 "NAT" +based on source MAC, can be traced back to a patch clearly designed to +accommodate a VRRP implementation from a different vendor. However, the +``protodown`` based implementation allows for a configuration model in which +FRR does not dynamically manage the addresses assigned on a system, but instead +just manages interface state. Such a scenario was in mind when this protocol +implementation was initially built, which is why the other choices are not +currently present. Since support for placing macvlan devices into ``protodown`` +was not added to Linux until version 5.1, this also explains the relatively +restrictive kernel versioning requirement. + +In the future other methods of implementing Backup state may be added along +with a configuration knob to choose between them. + +.. _vrrp-interface-configuration: + +Interface Configuration +----------------------- + +Continuing with the example from the previous section, we assume the macvlan +interfaces have been properly configured with the proper MAC addresses and the +IPvX addresses assigned. + +In FRR, a possible VRRPv3 configuration for this interface is: + +.. code-block:: frr + + interface eth0 + vrrp 5 version 3 + vrrp 5 priority 200 + vrrp 5 advertisement-interval 1500 + vrrp 5 ip 10.0.2.16 + vrrp 5 ipv6 2001:0db8::0370:7334 + +VRRP will activate as soon as the first IPvX address configuration line is +encountered. If you do not want this behavior, use the :clicmd:`vrrp (1-255) +shutdown` command, and apply the ``no`` form when you are ready to activate +VRRP. + +At this point executing ``show vrrp`` will display the following: + +.. code-block:: console + + ubuntu-bionic# show vrrp + + Virtual Router ID 5 + Protocol Version 3 + Autoconfigured Yes + Shutdown No + Interface eth0 + VRRP interface (v4) vrrp4-2-5 + VRRP interface (v6) vrrp6-2-5 + Primary IP (v4) 10.0.2.15 + Primary IP (v6) fe80::9b91:7155:bf6a:d386 + Virtual MAC (v4) 00:00:5e:00:01:05 + Virtual MAC (v6) 00:00:5e:00:02:05 + Status (v4) Master + Status (v6) Master + Priority 200 + Effective Priority (v4) 200 + Effective Priority (v6) 200 + Preempt Mode Yes + Accept Mode Yes + Advertisement Interval 1500 ms + Master Advertisement Interval (v4) 1000 ms + Master Advertisement Interval (v6) 1000 ms + Advertisements Tx (v4) 14 + Advertisements Tx (v6) 14 + Advertisements Rx (v4) 0 + Advertisements Rx (v6) 0 + Gratuitous ARP Tx (v4) 1 + Neigh.

It is also transmitting VRRPv3 +advertisements on the macvlan interfaces. + +The Primary IP fields are of some interest, as the behavior may be +counterintuitive. These fields show the source address used for VRRP +advertisements. Although VRRPv3 advertisements are always transmitted on the +macvlan interfaces, in the IPv4 case the source address is set to the primary +IPv4 address on the base interface, ``eth0`` in this case. This is a protocol +requirement, and IPv4 VRRP will not function unless the base interface has an +IPv4 address assigned. In the IPv6 case the link local of the macvlan interface +is used. + +If any misconfiguration errors are detected, VRRP for the misconfigured address +family will not come up and the configuration issue will be logged to FRR's +configured logging destination. + +Per the RFC, IPv4 and IPv6 virtual routers are independent of each other. For +instance, it is possible for the IPv4 router to be in Backup state while the +IPv6 router is in Master state; or for either to be completely inoperative +while the other is operative, etc. Instances sharing the same base interface +and VRID are shown together in the show output for conceptual convenience. + +To complete your VRRP deployment, configure other routers on the segment with +the exact same system and FRR configuration as shown above. Provided each +router receives the others' VRRP advertisements, the Master election protocol +will run, one Master will be elected, and the other routers will place their +macvlan interfaces into ``protodown on`` until Master fails or priority values +are changed to favor another router. + +Switching the protocol version to VRRPv2 is accomplished simply by changing +``version 3`` to ``version 2`` in the VRID configuration line. Note that VRRPv2 +does not support IPv6, so any IPv6 configuration will be rejected by FRR when +using VRRPv2. + +.. note:: + + All VRRP routers initially start in Backup state, and wait for the + calculated Master Down Interval to pass before they assume Master status. + This prevents downstream neighbor table churn if another router is already + Master with higher priority, meaning this box will ultimately assume Backup + status once the first advertisement is received.

In practice, flow-based hashing is used so that +all traffic associated with a particular flow uses the same next hop, +and by extension, the same path across the network. + +Weighted ECMP using BGP link bandwidth introduces support for network-wide +unequal cost multipathing (UCMP) to an IP destination. The unequal cost +load balancing is implemented by the forwarding plane based on the weights +associated with the next hops of the IP prefix. These weights are computed +based on the bandwidths of the corresponding multipaths which are encoded +in the ``BGP link bandwidth extended community`` as specified in +[Draft-IETF-idr-link-bandwidth]_. Exchange of an appropriate BGP link +bandwidth value for a prefix across the network results in network-wide +unequal cost multipathing. + +One of the primary use cases of this capability is in the data center when +a service (represented by its anycast IP) has an unequal set of resources +across the regions (e.g., PODs) of the data center and the network itself +provides the load balancing function instead of an external load balancer. +Refer to [Draft-IETF-mohanty-bess-ebgp-dmz]_ and :rfc:`7938` for details +on this use case. This use case is applicable in a pure L3 network as +well as in a EVPN network. + +The traditional use case for BGP link bandwidth to load balance traffic +to the exit routers in the AS based on the bandwidth of their external +eBGP peering links is also supported. + + +Design Principles +----------------- + +Next hop weight computation and usage +^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ + +As described, in UCMP, there is a weight associated with each next hop of an +IP prefix, and traffic is expected to be distributed across the next hops in +proportion to their weight. The weight of a next hop is a simple factoring +of the bandwidth of the corresponding path against the total bandwidth of +all multipaths, mapped to the range 1 to 100. What happens if not all the +paths in the multipath set have link bandwidth associated with them? In such +a case, in adherence to [Draft-IETF-idr-link-bandwidth]_, the behavior +reverts to standard ECMP among all the multipaths, with the link bandwidth +being effectively ignored. + +Note that there is no change to either the BGP best path selection algorithm +or to the multipath computation algorithm; the mapping of link bandwidth to +weight happens at the time of installation of the route in the RIB. + +If data forwarding is implemented by means of the Linux kernel, the next hop’s +weight is used in the hash calculation. The kernel uses the Hash threshold +algorithm and use of the next hop weight is built into it; next hops need +not be expanded to achieve UCMP. UCMP for IPv4 is available in older Linux +kernels too, while UCMP for IPv6 is available from the 4.16 kernel onwards. + +If data forwarding is realized in hardware, common implementations expand +the next hops (i.e., they are repeated) in the ECMP container in proportion +to their weight. For example, if the weights associated with 3 next hops for +a particular route are 50, 25 and 25 and the ECMP container has a size of 16 +next hops, the first next hop will be repeated 8 times and the other 2 next +hops repeated 4 times each. Other implementations are also possible. + +Unequal cost multipath across a network +^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ + +For the use cases listed above, it is not sufficient to support UCMP on just +one router (e.g., egress router), or individually, on multiple routers; UCMP +must be deployed across the entire network. This is achieved by employing the +BGP link-bandwidth extended community. + +At the router which originates the BGP link bandwidth, there has to be user +configuration to trigger it, which is described below. Receiving routers +would use the received link bandwidth from their downstream routers to +determine the next hop weight as described in the earlier section. Further, +if the received link bandwidth is a transitive attribute, it would be +propagated to eBGP peers, with the additional change that if the next hop +is set to oneself, the cumulative link bandwidth of all downstream paths +is propagated to other routers. In this manner, the entire network will +know how to distribute traffic to an anycast service across the network. + +The BGP link-bandwidth extended community is encoded in bytes-per-second. +In the use case where UCMP must be based on the number of paths, a reference +bandwidth of 1 Mbps is used. So, for example, if there are 4 equal cost paths +to an anycast IP, the encoded bandwidth in the extended community will be +500,000. The actual value itself doesn’t matter as long as all routers +originating the link-bandwidth are doing it in the same way. + + +Configuration Guide +------------------- + +The configuration for weighted ECMP using BGP link bandwidth requires +one essential step - using a route-map to inject the link bandwidth +extended community. An additional option is provided to control the +processing of received link bandwidth. + +Injecting link bandwidth into the network +^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ + +At the "entry point" router that is injecting the prefix to which weighted +load balancing must be performed, a route-map must be configured to +attach the link bandwidth extended community. + +For the use case of providing weighted load balancing for an anycast service, +this configuration will typically need to be applied at the TOR or Leaf +router that is connected to servers which provide the anycast service and +the bandwidth would be based on the number of multipaths for the destination. + +For the use case of load balancing to the exit router, the exit router should +be configured with the route map specifying the a bandwidth value that +corresponds to the bandwidth of the link connecting to its eBGP peer in the +adjoining AS. In addition, the link bandwidth extended community must be +explicitly configured to be non-transitive. + +The complete syntax of the route-map set command can be found at +:ref:`bgp-extended-communities-in-route-map` + +This route-map is supported only at two attachment points: +(a) the outbound route-map attached to a peer or peer-group, per address-family +(b) the EVPN advertise route-map used to inject IPv4 or IPv6 unicast routes +into EVPN as type-5 routes. + +Since the link bandwidth origination is done by using a route-map, it can +be constrained to certain prefixes (e.g., only for anycast services) or it +can be generated for all prefixes. Further, when the route-map is used in +the neighbor context, the link bandwidth usage can be constrained to certain +peers only. + +A sample configuration is shown below and illustrates link bandwidth +advertisement towards the "SPINE" peer-group for anycast IPs in the +range 192.168.x.x + +.. code-block:: frr + + ip prefix-list anycast_ip seq 10 permit 192.168.0.0/16 le 32 + route-map anycast_ip permit 10 + match ip address prefix-list anycast_ip + set extcommunity bandwidth num-multipaths + route-map anycast_ip permit 20 + ! + router bgp 65001 + neighbor SPINE peer-group + neighbor SPINE remote-as external + neighbor 172.16.35.1 peer-group SPINE + neighbor 172.16.36.1 peer-group SPINE + ! + address-family ipv4 unicast + network 110.0.0.1/32 + network 192.168.44.1/32 + neighbor SPINE route-map anycast_ip out + exit-address-family + ! + + +Controlling link bandwidth processing on the receiver +^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ + +There is no configuration necessary to process received link bandwidth and +translate it into the weight associated with the corresponding next hop; +that happens by default. If some of the multipaths do not have the link +bandwidth extended community, the default behavior is to revert to normal +ECMP as recommended in [Draft-IETF-idr-link-bandwidth]_. + +The operator can change these behaviors with the following configuration: + +.. clicmd:: bgp bestpath bandwidth + +The different options imply behavior as follows: + +- ignore: Ignore link bandwidth completely for route installation + (i.e., do regular ECMP, not weighted) +- skip-missing: Skip paths without link bandwidth and do UCMP among + the others (if at least some paths have link-bandwidth) +- default-weight-for-missing: Assign a low default weight (value 1) + to paths not having link bandwidth + +This configuration is per BGP instance similar to other BGP route-selection +controls; it operates on both IPv4-unicast and IPv6-unicast routes in that +instance. In an EVPN network, this configuration (if required) should be +implemented in the tenant VRF and is again applicable for IPv4-unicast and +IPv6-unicast, including the ones sourced from EVPN type-5 routes. + +A sample snippet of FRR configuration on a receiver to skip paths without +link bandwidth and do weighted ECMP among the other paths (if some of them +have link bandwidth) is as shown below. + +.. code-block:: frr + + router bgp 65021 + bgp bestpath as-path multipath-relax + bgp bestpath bandwidth skip-missing + neighbor LEAF peer-group + neighbor LEAF remote-as external + neighbor 172.16.35.2 peer-group LEAF + neighbor 172.16.36.2 peer-group LEAF + ! + address-family ipv4 unicast + network 130.0.0.1/32 + exit-address-family + ! + + +Stopping the propagation of the link bandwidth outside a domain +^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ + +The link bandwidth extended community will get automatically propagated +with the prefix to EBGP peers, if it is encoded as a transitive attribute +by the originator. If this propagation has to be stopped outside of a +particular domain (e.g., stopped from being propagated to routers outside +of the data center core network), the mechanism available is to disable +the advertisement of all BGP extended communities on the specific peering/s. +In other words, the propagation cannot be blocked just for the link bandwidth +extended community. The configuration to disable all extended communities +can be applied to a peer or peer-group (per address-family). + +Of course, the other common way to stop the propagation of the link bandwidth +outside the domain is to block the prefixes themselves from being advertised +and possibly, announce only an aggregate route.

It provides kernel routing +table updates, interface lookups, and redistribution of routes between +different routing protocols. + +.. _invoking-zebra: + +Invoking zebra +============== + +Besides the common invocation options (:ref:`common-invocation-options`), the +*zebra* specific invocation options are listed below. + +.. program:: zebra + +.. option:: -b, --batch + + Runs in batch mode. *zebra* parses configuration file and terminates + immediately. + +.. option:: -K TIME, --graceful_restart TIME + + If this option is specified, the graceful restart time is TIME seconds. + Zebra, when started, will read in routes. Those routes that Zebra + identifies that it was the originator of will be swept in TIME seconds. + If no time is specified then we will sweep those routes immediately. + Under the \*BSD's, there is no way to properly store the originating + route and the route types in this case will show up as a static route + with an admin distance of 255. + +.. option:: -r, --retain + + When program terminates, do not flush routes installed by *zebra* from the + kernel. + +.. option:: -e X, --ecmp X + + Run zebra with a limited ecmp ability compared to what it is compiled to. + If you are running zebra on hardware limited functionality you can + force zebra to limit the maximum ecmp allowed to X. This number + is bounded by what you compiled FRR with as the maximum number. + +.. option:: -n, --vrfwnetns + + When *Zebra* starts with this option, the VRF backend is based on Linux + network namespaces. That implies that all network namespaces discovered by + ZEBRA will create an associated VRF. The other daemons will operate on the VRF + VRF defined by *Zebra*, as usual. + + .. seealso:: :ref:`zebra-vrf` + +.. option:: -z , --socket + + If this option is supplied on the cli, the path to the zebra + control socket(zapi), is used. This option overrides a -N + option if handed to it on the cli. + +.. option:: --v6-rr-semantics + + The linux kernel is receiving the ability to use the same route + replacement semantics for v6 that v4 uses. If you are using a + kernel that supports this functionality then run *Zebra* with this + option and we will use Route Replace Semantics instead of delete + than add. + +.. option:: --routing-table + + Specify which kernel routing table *Zebra* should communicate with. + If this option is not specified the default table (RT_TABLE_MAIN) is + used. + +.. option:: --asic-offload=[notify_on_offload|notify_on_ack] + + The linux kernel has the ability to use asic-offload ( see switchdev + development ). When the operator knows that FRR will be working in + this way, allow them to specify this with FRR. At this point this + code only supports asynchronous notification of the offload state. + In other words the initial ACK received for linux kernel installation + does not give zebra any data about what the state of the offload + is. This option takes the optional parameters notify_on_offload + or notify_on_ack. This signals to zebra to notify upper level + protocols about route installation/update on ack received from + the linux kernel or from offload notification. + + +.. option:: -s , --nl-bufsize + + Allow zebra to modify the default receive buffer size to SIZE + in bytes. Under \*BSD only the -s option is available. + +.. option:: --v6-with-v4-nexthops + + Signal to zebra that v6 routes with v4 nexthops are accepted + by the underlying dataplane. This will be communicated to + the upper level daemons that can install v6 routes with v4 + nexthops. + +.. _interface-commands: + +Configuration Addresses behaviour +================================= + +At startup, *Zebra* will first discover the underlying networking objects +from the operating system. This includes interfaces, addresses of +interfaces, static routes, etc. Then, it will read the configuration +file, including its own interface addresses, static routes, etc. All this +information comprises the operational context from *Zebra*. But +configuration context from *Zebra* will remain the same as the one from +:file:`zebra.conf` config file. As an example, executing the following +:clicmd:`show running-config` will reflect what was in :file:`zebra.conf`. +In a similar way, networking objects that are configured outside of the +*Zebra* like *iproute2* will not impact the configuration context from +*Zebra*. This behaviour permits you to continue saving your own config +file, and decide what is really to be pushed on the config file, and what +is dependent on the underlying system. +Note that inversely, from *Zebra*, you will not be able to delete networking +objects that were previously configured outside of *Zebra*. + + +Interface Commands +================== + +.. _standard-commands: + +Standard Commands +----------------- + + +.. clicmd:: interface IFNAME + + +.. clicmd:: interface IFNAME vrf VRF + + +.. clicmd:: shutdown + + + Up or down the current interface. + + +.. clicmd:: ip address ADDRESS/PREFIX + +.. clicmd:: ipv6 address ADDRESS/PREFIX + + + + Set the IPv4 or IPv6 address/prefix for the interface. + + +.. clicmd:: ip address LOCAL-ADDR peer PEER-ADDR/PREFIX + + + Configure an IPv4 Point-to-Point address on the interface. (The concept of + PtP addressing does not exist for IPv6.) + + ``local-addr`` has no subnet mask since the local side in PtP addressing is + always a single (/32) address. ``peer-addr/prefix`` can be an arbitrary subnet + behind the other end of the link (or even on the link in Point-to-Multipoint + setups), though generally /32s are used. + + +.. clicmd:: description DESCRIPTION ... + + Set description for the interface. + + +.. clicmd:: mpls + + Choose mpls kernel processing value on the interface, for linux. Interfaces + configured with mpls will not automatically turn on if mpls kernel modules do not + happen to be loaded. This command will fail on 3.X linux kernels and does not + work on non-linux systems at all. 'enable' and 'disable' will respectively turn + on and off mpls on the given interface. + +.. clicmd:: multicast + + + Enable or disable multicast flag for the interface. + + +.. clicmd:: bandwidth (1-10000000) + + + Set bandwidth value of the interface in kilobits/sec. This is for + calculating OSPF cost. This command does not affect the actual device + configuration. + + +.. clicmd:: link-detect + + + Enable or disable link-detect on platforms which support this. Currently only + Linux, and only where network interface drivers support reporting + link-state via the ``IFF_RUNNING`` flag. + + In FRR, link-detect is on by default. + +.. _link-parameters-commands: + +Link Parameters Commands +------------------------ + +.. note:: + + At this time, FRR offers partial support for some of the routing + protocol extensions that can be used with MPLS-TE. FRR does not + support a complete RSVP-TE solution currently. + +.. clicmd:: link-params + + + Enter into the link parameters sub node. At least 'enable' must be + set to activate the link parameters, and consequently routing + information that could be used as part of Traffic Engineering on + this interface. MPLS-TE must be enable at the OSPF + (:ref:`ospf-traffic-engineering`) or ISIS + (:ref:`isis-traffic-engineering`) router level in complement to + this. + + Under link parameter statement, the following commands set the different TE values: + +.. clicmd:: enable + + Enable link parameters for this interface. + +.. clicmd:: metric (0-4294967295) + +.. clicmd:: max-bw BANDWIDTH + +.. clicmd:: max-rsv-bw BANDWIDTH + +.. clicmd:: unrsv-bw (0-7) BANDWIDTH + + These commands specifies the Traffic Engineering parameters of the interface + in conformity to RFC3630 (OSPF) or RFC5305 (ISIS). There are respectively + the TE Metric (different from the OSPF or ISIS metric), Maximum Bandwidth + (interface speed by default), Maximum Reservable Bandwidth, Unreserved + Bandwidth for each 0-7 priority and Admin Group (ISIS) or Resource + Class/Color (OSPF). + + Note that BANDWIDTH is specified in IEEE floating point format and express + in Bytes/second. + +.. clicmd:: admin-grp 0x(0-FFFFFFFF) + + This commands configures the Traffic Engineering Admin-Group of the interface + as specified in RFC3630 (OSPF) or RFC5305 (ISIS). Admin-group is also known + as Resource Class/Color in the OSPF protocol. + +.. clicmd:: [no] affinity AFFINITY-MAP-NAME + + This commands configures the Traffic Engineering Admin-Group of the + interface using the affinity-map definitions (:ref:`affinity-map`). + Multiple AFFINITY-MAP-NAME can be specified at the same time. Affinity-map + names are added or removed if ``no`` is present. It means that specifying one + value does not override the full list. + + ``admin-grp`` and ``affinity`` commands provide two ways of setting + admin-groups. They cannot be both set on the same interface. + +.. clicmd:: [no] affinity-mode [extended|standard|both] + + This commands configures which admin-group format is set by the affinity + command. ``extended`` Admin-Group is the default and uses the RFC7308 format. + ``standard`` mode uses the standard admin-group format that is defined by + RFC3630, RFC5305 and RFC5329. When the ``standard`` mode is set, + affinity-maps with bit-positions higher than 31 cannot be applied to the + interface. The ``both`` mode allows setting standard and extended admin-group + on the link at the same time. In this case, the bit-positions 0 to 31 are + the same on standard and extended admin-groups. + + Note that extended admin-groups are only supported by IS-IS for the moment. + +.. clicmd:: delay (0-16777215) [min (0-16777215) | max (0-16777215)] + +.. clicmd:: delay-variation (0-16777215) + +.. clicmd:: packet-loss PERCENTAGE + +.. clicmd:: res-bw BANDWIDTH + +.. clicmd:: ava-bw BANDWIDTH + +.. clicmd:: use-bw BANDWIDTH + + These command specifies additional Traffic Engineering parameters of the + interface in conformity to draft-ietf-ospf-te-metrics-extension-05.txt and + draft-ietf-isis-te-metrics-extension-03.txt. There are respectively the + delay, jitter, loss, available bandwidth, reservable bandwidth and utilized + bandwidth. + + Note that BANDWIDTH is specified in IEEE floating point format and express + in Bytes/second. Delays and delay variation are express in micro-second + (µs). Loss is specified in PERCENTAGE ranging from 0 to 50.331642% by step + of 0.000003. + +.. clicmd:: neighbor as (0-65535) + + Specifies the remote ASBR IP address and Autonomous System (AS) number + for InterASv2 link in OSPF (RFC5392).

We default to 7, but + if another userspace app ever conflicts with this, you can change it here. + The descriptor for this bit should exist in :file:`/etc/iproute2/protodown_reasons.d/` + to display with :clicmd:`ip -d link show`. + +Nexthop Tracking +================ + +Nexthop tracking doesn't resolve nexthops via the default route by default. +Allowing this might be useful when e.g. you want to allow BGP to peer across +the default route. + +.. clicmd:: zebra nexthop-group keep (1-3600) + + Set the time that zebra will keep a created and installed nexthop group + before removing it from the system if the nexthop group is no longer + being used. The default time is 180 seconds. + +.. clicmd:: ip nht resolve-via-default + + Allow IPv4 nexthop tracking to resolve via the default route. This parameter + is configured per-VRF, so the command is also available in the VRF subnode. + + This is enabled by default for a traditional profile. + +.. clicmd:: ipv6 nht resolve-via-default + + Allow IPv6 nexthop tracking to resolve via the default route. This parameter + is configured per-VRF, so the command is also available in the VRF subnode. + + This is enabled by default for a traditional profile. + +.. clicmd:: show ip nht [vrf NAME] [A.B.C.D|X:X::X:X] [mrib] [json] + + Show nexthop tracking status for address resolution. If vrf is not specified + then display the default vrf. If ``all`` is specified show all vrf address + resolution output. If an ipv4 or ipv6 address is not specified then display + all addresses tracked, else display the requested address. The mrib keyword + indicates that the operator wants to see the multicast rib address resolution + table. An alternative form of the command is ``show ip import-check`` and this + form of the command is deprecated at this point in time. + User can get that information as JSON string when ``json`` key word + at the end of cli is presented. + +.. clicmd:: show ip nht route-map [vrf ] [json] + + This command displays route-map attach point to nexthop tracking and + displays list of protocol with its applied route-map. + When zebra considers sending NHT resoultion, the nofification only + sent to appropriate client protocol only after applying route-map filter. + User can get that information as JSON format when ``json`` keyword + at the end of cli is presented. + +PBR dataplane programming +========================= + +Some dataplanes require the PBR nexthop to be resolved into a SMAC, DMAC and +outgoing interface + +.. clicmd:: pbr nexthop-resolve + + Resolve PBR nexthop via ip neigh tracking + +.. _administrative-distance: + +Administrative Distance +======================= + +Administrative distance allows FRR to make decisions about what routes +should be installed in the rib based upon the originating protocol. +The lowest Admin Distance is the route selected. This is purely a +subjective decision about ordering and care has been taken to choose +the same distances that other routing suites have chosen. + ++------------+-----------+ +| Protocol | Distance | ++------------+-----------+ +| System | 0 | ++------------+-----------+ +| Kernel | 0 | ++------------+-----------+ +| Connect | 0 | ++------------+-----------+ +| Static | 1 | ++------------+-----------+ +| NHRP | 10 | ++------------+-----------+ +| EBGP | 20 | ++------------+-----------+ +| EIGRP | 90 | ++------------+-----------+ +| BABEL | 100 | ++------------+-----------+ +| OSPF | 110 | ++------------+-----------+ +| ISIS | 115 | ++------------+-----------+ +| OPENFABRIC | 115 | ++------------+-----------+ +| RIP | 120 | ++------------+-----------+ +| Table | 150 | ++------------+-----------+ +| SHARP | 150 | ++------------+-----------+ +| IBGP | 200 | ++------------+-----------+ +| PBR | 200 | ++------------+-----------+ + +An admin distance of 255 indicates to Zebra that the route should not be +installed into the Data Plane. Additionally routes with an admin distance +of 255 will not be redistributed. + +Zebra does treat Kernel routes as special case for the purposes of Admin +Distance. Upon learning about a route that is not originated by FRR +we read the metric value as a uint32_t. The top byte of the value +is interpreted as the Administrative Distance and the low three bytes +are read in as the metric. This special case is to facilitate VRF +default routes. + +.. code-block:: shell + + $ # Set administrative distance to 255 for Zebra + $ ip route add 192.0.2.0/24 metric $(( 2**32 - 2**24 )) dev lo + $ vtysh -c 'show ip route 192.0.2.0/24 json' | jq '."192.0.2.0/24"[] | (.distance, .metric)' + 255 + 0 + $ # Set administrative distance to 192 for Zebra + $ ip route add 192.0.2.0/24 metric $(( 2**31 + 2**30 )) dev lo + $ vtysh -c 'show ip route 192.0.2.0/24 json' | jq '."192.0.2.0/24"[] | (.distance, .metric)' + 192 + 0 + $ # Set administrative distance to 128, and metric 100 for Zebra + $ ip route add 192.0.2.0/24 metric $(( 2**31 + 100 )) dev lo + $ vtysh -c 'show ip route 192.0.2.0/24 json' | jq '."192.0.2.0/24"[] | (.distance, .metric)' + 128 + 100 + +Route Replace Semantics +======================= + +When using the Linux Kernel as a forwarding plane, routes are installed +with a metric of 20 to the kernel. Please note that the kernel's metric +value bears no resemblence to FRR's RIB metric or admin distance. It +merely is a way for the Linux Kernel to decide which route to use if it +has multiple routes for the same prefix from multiple sources. An example +here would be if someone else was running another routing suite besides +FRR at the same time, the kernel must choose what route to use to forward +on. FRR choose the value of 20 because of two reasons. FRR wanted a +value small enough to be chosen but large enough that the operator could +allow route prioritization by the kernel when multiple routing suites are +being run and FRR wanted to take advantage of Route Replace semantics that +the linux kernel offers. In order for Route Replacement semantics to +work FRR must use the same metric when issuing the replace command. +Currently FRR only supports Route Replace semantics using the Linux +Kernel. + +.. _zebra-vrf: + +Virtual Routing and Forwarding +============================== + +FRR supports :abbr:`VRF (Virtual Routing and Forwarding)`. VRF is a way to +separate networking contexts on the same machine. Those networking contexts are +associated with separate interfaces, thus making it possible to associate one +interface with a specific VRF. + +VRF can be used, for example, when instantiating per enterprise networking +services, without having to instantiate the physical host machine or the +routing management daemons for each enterprise. As a result, interfaces are +separate for each set of VRF, and routing daemons can have their own context +for each VRF. + +This conceptual view introduces the *Default VRF* case. If the user does not +configure any specific VRF, then by default, FRR uses the *Default VRF*. The +name "default" is used to refer to this VRF in various CLI commands and YANG +models. It is possible to change that name by passing the ``-o`` option to all +daemons, for example, one can use ``-o vrf0`` to change the name to "vrf0". +The easiest way to pass the same option to all daemons is to use the +``frr_global_options`` variable in the +:ref:`Daemons Configuration File `. + +Configuring VRF networking contexts can be done in various ways on FRR. The VRF +interfaces can be configured by entering in interface configuration mode +:clicmd:`interface IFNAME vrf VRF`. + +A VRF backend mode is chosen when running *Zebra*. + +If no option is chosen, then the *Linux VRF* implementation as references in +https://www.kernel.org/doc/Documentation/networking/vrf.txt will be mapped over +the *Zebra* VRF. The routing table associated to that VRF is a Linux table +identifier located in the same *Linux network namespace* where *Zebra* started. +Please note when using the *Linux VRF* routing table it is expected that a +default Kernel route will be installed that has a metric as outlined in the +www.kernel.org doc above. The Linux Kernel does table lookup via a combination +of rule application of the rule table and then route lookup of the specified +table. If no route match is found then the next applicable rule is applied +to find the next route table to use to look for a route match. As such if +your VRF table does not have a default blackhole route with a high metric +VRF route lookup will leave the table specified by the VRF, which is undesirable. + +If the :option:`-n` option is chosen, then the *Linux network namespace* will +be mapped over the *Zebra* VRF. That implies that *Zebra* is able to configure +several *Linux network namespaces*. The routing table associated to that VRF +is the whole routing tables located in that namespace. For instance, this mode +matches OpenStack Network Namespaces. It matches also OpenFastPath. The default +behavior remains Linux VRF which is supported by the Linux kernel community, +see https://www.kernel.org/doc/Documentation/networking/vrf.txt. + +Because of that difference, there are some subtle differences when running some +commands in relationship to VRF. Here is an extract of some of those commands: + +.. clicmd:: vrf VRF + + This command is available on configuration mode. By default, above command + permits accessing the VRF configuration mode. This mode is available for + both VRFs. It is to be noted that *Zebra* does not create Linux VRF. + The network administrator can however decide to provision this command in + configuration file to provide more clarity about the intended configuration. + +.. clicmd:: netns NAMESPACE + + This command is based on VRF configuration mode. This command is available + when *Zebra* is run in :option:`-n` mode. This command reflects which *Linux + network namespace* is to be mapped with *Zebra* VRF. It is to be noted that + *Zebra* creates and detects added/suppressed VRFs from the Linux environment + (in fact, those managed with iproute2). The network administrator can however + decide to provision this command in configuration file to provide more clarity + about the intended configuration. + +.. clicmd:: show ip route vrf VRF + + The show command permits dumping the routing table associated to the VRF. If + *Zebra* is launched with default settings, this will be the ``TABLENO`` of + the VRF configured on the kernel, thanks to information provided in + https://www.kernel.org/doc/Documentation/networking/vrf.txt. If *Zebra* is + launched with :option:`-n` option, this will be the default routing table of + the *Linux network namespace* ``VRF``. + +.. clicmd:: show ip route vrf VRF table TABLENO + + The show command is only available with :option:`-n` option. This command + will dump the routing table ``TABLENO`` of the *Linux network namespace* + ``VRF``. + +.. clicmd:: show ip route vrf VRF tables + + This command will dump the routing tables within the vrf scope. If ``vrf all`` + is executed, all routing tables will be dumped. + +.. clicmd:: show route summary [vrf VRF] [table TABLENO] [prefix] + + This command will dump a summary output of the specified VRF and TABLENO + combination. If neither VRF or TABLENO is specified FRR defaults to + the default vrf and default table. If prefix is specified dump the + number of prefix routes. + +.. _zebra-table-allocation: + +Table Allocation +================ + +Some services like BGP flowspec allocate routing tables to perform policy +routing based on netfilter criteria and IP rules. In order to avoid +conflicts between VRF allocated routing tables and those services, Zebra +proposes to define a chunk of routing tables to use by other services. + +Allocation configuration can be done like below, with the range of the +chunk of routing tables to be used by the given service. + +.. clicmd:: ip table range + +.. _zebra-ecmp: + +ECMP +==== + +FRR supports ECMP as part of normal operations and is generally compiled +with a limit of 64 way ECMP. This of course can be modified via configure +options on compilation if the end operator desires to do so. Individual +protocols each have their own way of dictating ECMP policy and their +respective documentation should be read. + +ECMP can be inspected in zebra by doing a ``show ip route X`` command. + +.. code-block:: shell + + eva# show ip route 4.4.4.4/32 + Codes: K - kernel route, C - connected, S - static, R - RIP, + O - OSPF, I - IS-IS, B - BGP, E - EIGRP, N - NHRP, + T - Table, v - VNC, V - VNC-Direct, A - Babel, D - SHARP, + F - PBR, f - OpenFabric, + > - selected route, * - FIB route, q - queued, r - rejected, b - backup + t - trapped, o - offload failure + + D>* 4.4.4.4/32 [150/0] via 192.168.161.1, enp39s0, weight 1, 00:00:02 + * via 192.168.161.2, enp39s0, weight 1, 00:00:02 + * via 192.168.161.3, enp39s0, weight 1, 00:00:02 + * via 192.168.161.4, enp39s0, weight 1, 00:00:02 + * via 192.168.161.5, enp39s0, weight 1, 00:00:02 + * via 192.168.161.6, enp39s0, weight 1, 00:00:02 + * via 192.168.161.7, enp39s0, weight 1, 00:00:02 + * via 192.168.161.8, enp39s0, weight 1, 00:00:02 + * via 192.168.161.9, enp39s0, weight 1, 00:00:02 + * via 192.168.161.10, enp39s0, weight 1, 00:00:02 + * via 192.168.161.11, enp39s0, weight 1, 00:00:02 + * via 192.168.161.12, enp39s0, weight 1, 00:00:02 + * via 192.168.161.13, enp39s0, weight 1, 00:00:02 + * via 192.168.161.14, enp39s0, weight 1, 00:00:02 + * via 192.168.161.15, enp39s0, weight 1, 00:00:02 + * via 192.168.161.16, enp39s0, weight 1, 00:00:02 + +In this example we have 16 way ecmp for the 4.4.4.4/32 route.

Currently the Linux kernel +has a ``fib_multipath_hash_policy`` sysctl which dictates how the hashing +algorithm is used to forward packets. + +.. _zebra-svd: + +Single Vxlan Device Support +=========================== + +FRR supports configuring VLAN-to-VNI mappings for EVPN-VXLAN, +when working with the Linux kernel. In this new way, the mapping of a VLAN +to a VNI is configured against a container VXLAN interface which is referred +to as a ‘Single VXLAN device (SVD)’. Multiple VLAN to VNI mappings can be +configured against the same SVD. This allows for a significant scaling of +the number of VNIs since a separate VXLAN interface is no longer required +for each VNI.

This section shows how +to configure SRv6 on FRR. Of course SRv6 can be used as standalone, +and this section also helps that case. + +.. clicmd:: show segment-routing srv6 locator [json] + + This command dump SRv6-locator configured on zebra. SRv6-locator is used + to route to the node before performing the SRv6-function. and that works as + aggregation of SRv6-function's IDs. Following console log shows two + SRv6-locators loc1 and loc2. All locators are identified by unique IPv6 + prefix.

Locator can be + represented by a single IPv6 prefix, but SRv6 is designed to share this + Locator among multiple Routing Protocols. For this purpose, zebra divides + the IPv6 prefix block that makes the Locator unique into multiple chunks, + and manages the ownership of each chunk. + + For example, loc1 has system as its owner. For example, loc1 is owned by + system, which means that it is not yet proprietary to any routing protocol. + For example, loc2 has sharp as its owner. This means that the shaprd for + function development holds the owner of the chunk of this locator, and no + other routing protocol will use this area. + +:: + + router# show segment-routing srv6 locator loc1 detail + Name: loc1 + Prefix: 2001:db8:1:1::/64 + Chunks: + - prefix: 2001:db8:1:1::/64, owner: system + + router# show segment-routing srv6 locator loc2 detail + Name: loc2 + Prefix: 2001:db8:2:2::/64 + Chunks: + - prefix: 2001:db8:2:2::/64, owner: sharp + +.. clicmd:: segment-routing + + Move from configure mode to segment-routing node. + +.. clicmd:: srv6 + + Move from segment-routing node to srv6 node. + +.. clicmd:: locators + + Move from srv6 node to locator node.

SRv6 locator is defined by + RFC8986. The actual routing protocol specifies the locator and allocates a + SID to be used by each routing protocol. This SID is included in the locator + as an IPv6 prefix. + + Following example console log shows the typical configuration of SRv6 + data-plane. After a new SRv6 locator, named loc1, is created, loc1's prefix + is configured as ``2001:db8:1:1::/64``. If user or some routing daemon + allocates new SID on this locator, new SID will allocated in range of this + prefix. For example, if some routing daemon creates new SID on locator + (``2001:db8:1:1::/64``), Then new SID will be ``2001:db8:1:1:7::/80``, + ``2001:db8:1:1:8::/80``, and so on. Each locator has default SID that is + SRv6 local function "End". Usually default SID is allocated as + ``PREFIX:1::``. (``PREFIX`` is locator's prefix) For example, if user + configure the locator's prefix as ``2001:db8:1:1::/64``, then default SID + will be ``2001:db8:1:1:1::``) + + This command takes three optional parameters: ``func-bits``, ``block-len`` + and ``node-len``. These parameters allow users to set the format for the SIDs + allocated from the SRv6 Locator. SID Format is defined in RFC 8986. + + According to RFC 8986, an SRv6 SID consists of BLOCK:NODE:FUNCTION:ARGUMENT, + where BLOCK is the SRv6 SID block (i.e., the IPv6 prefix allocated for SRv6 + SIDs by the operator), NODE is the identifier of the parent node instantiating + the SID, FUNCTION identifies the local behavior associated to the SID and + ARGUMENT encodes additional information used to process the behavior. + BLOCK and NODE make up the SRv6 Locator. + + The function bits range is 16bits by default. If operator want to change + function bits range, they can configure with ``func-bits`` + option. + + The ``block-len`` and ``node-len`` parameters allow the user to configure the + length of the SRv6 SID block and SRv6 SID node, respectively. Both the lengths + are expressed in bits. + + ``block-len``, ``node-len`` and ``func-bits`` may be any value as long as + ``block-len+node-len = locator-len`` and ``block-len+node-len+func-bits <= 128``. + + When both ``block-len`` and ``node-len`` are omitted, the following default + values are used: ``block-len = 24``, ``node-len = prefix-len-24``. + + If only one parameter is omitted, the other parameter is derived from the first. + +:: + + router# configure terminal + router(config)# segment-routinig + router(config-sr)# srv6 + router(config-srv6)# locators + router(config-srv6-locs)# locator loc1 + router(config-srv6-loc)# prefix 2001:db8:1:1::/64 + + router(config-srv6-loc)# show run + ... + segment-routing + srv6 + locators + locator loc1 + prefix 2001:db8:1:1::/64 + ! + ... + +.. clicmd:: behavior usid + + Specify the SRv6 locator as a Micro-segment (uSID) locator.

The + default time for this is 5 seconds. + +.. _zebra-fib-push-interface: + +zebra FIB push interface +======================== + +Zebra supports a 'FIB push' interface that allows an external +component to learn the forwarding information computed by the FRR +routing suite. This is a loadable module that needs to be enabled +at startup as described in :ref:`loadable-module-support`. + +In FRR, the Routing Information Base (RIB) resides inside +zebra. Routing protocols communicate their best routes to zebra, and +zebra computes the best route across protocols for each prefix. This +latter information makes up the Forwarding Information Base +(FIB). Zebra feeds the FIB to the kernel, which allows the IP stack in +the kernel to forward packets according to the routes computed by +FRR. The kernel FIB is updated in an OS-specific way. For example, +the ``Netlink`` interface is used on Linux, and route sockets are +used on FreeBSD. + +The FIB push interface aims to provide a cross-platform mechanism to +support scenarios where the router has a forwarding path that is +distinct from the kernel, commonly a hardware-based fast path. In +these cases, the FIB needs to be maintained reliably in the fast path +as well. We refer to the component that programs the forwarding plane +(directly or indirectly) as the Forwarding Plane Manager or FPM. + +.. program:: configure + +The relevant zebra code kicks in when zebra is configured with the +:option:`--enable-fpm` flag and started with the module (``-M fpm`` +or ``-M dplane_fpm_nl``). + +.. note:: + + The ``fpm`` implementation attempts to connect to ``127.0.0.1`` port ``2620`` + by default without configurations. The ``dplane_fpm_nl`` only attempts to + connect to a server if configured. + +Zebra periodically attempts to connect to the well-known FPM port (``2620``). +Once the connection is up, zebra starts sending messages containing routes +over the socket to the FPM. Zebra sends a complete copy of the forwarding +table to the FPM, including routes that it may have picked up from the kernel. +The existing interaction of zebra with the kernel remains unchanged -- that +is, the kernel continues to receive FIB updates as before. + +The default FPM message format is netlink, however it can be controlled +with the module load-time option. The modules accept the following options: + +- ``fpm``: ``netlink`` and ``protobuf``. +- ``dplane_fpm_nl``: none, it only implements netlink. + +The zebra FPM interface uses replace semantics. That is, if a 'route +add' message for a prefix is followed by another 'route add' message, +the information in the second message is complete by itself, and +replaces the information sent in the first message. + +If the connection to the FPM goes down for some reason, zebra sends +the FPM a complete copy of the forwarding table(s) when it reconnects. + +For more details on the implementation, please read the developer's manual FPM +section. + +FPM Commands +============ + +``fpm`` implementation +---------------------- + +.. clicmd:: fpm connection ip A.B.C.D port (1-65535) + + Configure ``zebra`` to connect to a different FPM server than the default of + ``127.0.0.1:2620`` + +.. clicmd:: show zebra fpm stats + + Shows the FPM statistics. + + Sample output: + + :: + + Counter Total Last 10 secs + + connect_calls 3 2 + connect_no_sock 0 0 + read_cb_calls 2 2 + write_cb_calls 2 0 + write_calls 1 0 + partial_writes 0 0 + max_writes_hit 0 0 + t_write_yields 0 0 + nop_deletes_skipped 6 0 + route_adds 5 0 + route_dels 0 0 + updates_triggered 11 0 + redundant_triggers 0 0 + dests_del_after_update 0 0 + t_conn_down_starts 0 0 + t_conn_down_dests_processed 0 0 + t_conn_down_yields 0 0 + t_conn_down_finishes 0 0 + t_conn_up_starts 1 0 + t_conn_up_dests_processed 11 0 + t_conn_up_yields 0 0 + t_conn_up_aborts 0 0 + t_conn_up_finishes 1 0 + + +.. clicmd:: clear zebra fpm stats + + Reset statistics related to the zebra code that interacts with the + optional Forwarding Plane Manager (FPM) component. + + +``dplane_fpm_nl`` implementation +-------------------------------- + +.. clicmd:: fpm address [port (1-65535)] + + Configures the FPM server address.

This command is deprecated and will + be removed at some point in time in the future. + +.. clicmd:: show [ip] router-id [vrf NAME] + + Display the user configured router-id. + +For protocols requiring an IPv6 router-id, the following commands are available: + +.. clicmd:: ipv6 router-id X:X::X:X + + Configure the IPv6 router-id of this router. Like its IPv4 counterpart, + this command works under the vrf subnode, to allow router-id's per vrf. + +.. clicmd:: show ipv6 router-id [vrf NAME] + + Display the user configured IPv6 router-id. + +.. _zebra-sysctl: + +sysctl settings +=============== + +The linux kernel has a variety of sysctl's that affect it's operation as a router. This +section is meant to act as a starting point for those sysctl's that must be used in +order to provide FRR with smooth operation as a router. This section is not meant +as the full documentation for sysctl's. The operator must use the sysctl documentation +with the linux kernel for that. The following link has helpful references to many relevant +sysctl values: https://www.kernel.org/doc/Documentation/networking/ip-sysctl.txt + +Expected sysctl settings +------------------------ + +.. option:: net.ipv4.ip_forward = 1 + + This global option allows the linux kernel to forward (route) ipv4 packets incoming from one + interface to an outgoing interface. If this is set to 0, the system will not route transit + ipv4 packets, i.e. packets that are not sent to/from a process running on the local system. + +.. option:: net.ipv4.conf.{all,default,}.forwarding = 1 + + The linux kernel can selectively enable forwarding (routing) of ipv4 packets on a per + interface basis. The forwarding check in the kernel dataplane occurs against the ingress + Layer 3 interface, i.e. if the ingress L3 interface has forwarding set to 0, packets will not + be routed. + +.. option:: net.ipv6.conf.{all,default,}.forwarding = 1 + + This per interface option allows the linux kernel to forward (route) transit ipv6 packets + i.e. incoming from one Layer 3 interface to an outgoing Layer 3 interface. + The forwarding check in the kernel dataplane occurs against the ingress Layer 3 interface, + i.e. if the ingress L3 interface has forwarding set to 0, packets will not be routed. + +.. option:: net.ipv6.conf.all.keep_addr_on_down = 1 + + When an interface is taken down, do not remove the v6 addresses associated with the interface. + This option is recommended because this is the default behavior for v4 as well. + +.. option:: net.ipv6.route.skip_notify_on_dev_down = 1 + + When an interface is taken down, the linux kernel will not notify, via netlink, about routes + that used that interface being removed from the FIB. This option is recommended because this + is the default behavior for v4 as well. + +Optional sysctl settings +------------------------ + +.. option:: net.ipv4.conf.{all,default,}.bc_forwarding = 0 + + This per interface option allows the linux kernel to optionally allow Directed Broadcast + (i.e. Routed Broadcast or Subnet Broadcast) packets to be routed onto the connected network + segment where the subnet exists. + If the local router receives a routed packet destined for a broadcast address of a connected + subnet, setting bc_forwarding to 1 on the interface with the target subnet assigned to it will + allow non locally-generated packets to be routed via the broadcast route. + If bc_forwarding is set to 0, routed packets destined for a broadcast route will be dropped. + e.g. + Host1 (SIP:192.0.2.10, DIP:10.0.0.255) -> (eth0:192.0.2.1/24) Router1 (eth1:10.0.0.1/24) -> BC + If net.ipv4.conf.{all,default,}.bc_forwarding=1, then Router1 will forward each + packet destined to 10.0.0.255 onto the eth1 interface with a broadcast DMAC (ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff). + +.. option:: net.ipv4.conf.{all,default,}.arp_accept = 1 + + This per interface option allows the linux kernel to optionally skip the creation of ARP + entries upon the receipt of a Gratuitous ARP (GARP) frame carrying an IP that is not already + present in the ARP cache. Setting arp_accept to 0 on an interface will ensure NEW ARP entries + are not created due to the arrival of a GARP frame. + Note: This does not impact how the kernel reacts to GARP frames that carry a "known" IP + (that is already in the ARP cache) -- an existing ARP entry will always be updated + when a GARP for that IP is received. + +.. option:: net.ipv4.conf.{all,default,}.arp_ignore = 0 + + This per interface option allows the linux kernel to control what conditions must be met in + order for an ARP reply to be sent in response to an ARP request targeting a local IP address. + When arp_ignore is set to 0, the kernel will send ARP replies in response to any ARP Request + with a Target-IP matching a local address. + When arp_ignore is set to 1, the kernel will send ARP replies if the Target-IP in the ARP + Request matches an IP address on the interface the Request arrived at. + When arp_ignore is set to 2, the kernel will send ARP replies only if the Target-IP matches an + IP address on the interface where the Request arrived AND the Sender-IP falls within the subnet + assigned to the local IP/interface. + +.. option:: net.ipv4.conf.{all,default,}.arp_notify = 1 + + This per interface option allows the linux kernel to decide whether to send a Gratuitious ARP + (GARP) frame when the Layer 3 interface comes UP. + When arp_notify is set to 0, no GARP is sent. + When arp_notify is set to 1, a GARP is sent when the interface comes UP. + +.. option:: net.ipv6.conf.{all,default,}.ndisc_notify = 1 + + This per interface option allows the linux kernel to decide whether to send an Unsolicited + Neighbor Advertisement (U-NA) frame when the Layer 3 interface comes UP. + When ndisc_notify is set to 0, no U-NA is sent. + When ndisc_notify is set to 1, a U-NA is sent when the interface comes UP. + +Useful sysctl settings +---------------------- + +.. option:: net.ipv6.conf.all.use_oif_addrs_only = 1 + + When enabled, the candidate source addresses for destinations routed via this interface are + restricted to the set of addresses configured on this interface (RFC 6724 section 4). If + an operator has hundreds of IP addresses per interface this solves the latency problem. + +Debugging +========= + +.. clicmd:: debug zebra mpls [detailed] + + MPLS-related events and information.
