Title: Simple changes cause BGP to reset
Post by: fsebera on September 21, 2021, 07:27:14 PM
 
I downloaded, installed and configured the os-frr plugin for dynamic routing for BGP -- OPNsense 21.1.9_1. Testing and evaluating in an isolated test lab.

I notice every little change within OPNsense causes BGP to reset which forces a BGP reinitialization. BGP resetting of course brings the network down. Example, changing the Routing logging level, or adding or removing a prefix filter, etc., causes BGP to reset. How do others work with this vendor's product? Is there a fix to these issues other than don't make changes. LOL

Thanks
Frank

On grid views you can just edit stuff and save later so you only have one interruption, but this is the way how OPN generates config files

Not sure what you mean by the grid but I think you saying this is the normal mode of operation and folks that use OPNsense in their production network just accept and live with it?

Thank you
Frank

Indeed, a BGP setup also doesnt change that much
