23.1 Legacy Series / FRR not starting
« on: June 20, 2023, 06:42:54 am »
I am in a bit of a strange situation here. I have two OPNSense instances running, and recently went ahead and updated my secondary router (CARP failover) from 22.7.11 to 23.1.19. After doing this, I noticed that FRR wouldn't start.
I'm not able to get much output or information as to what the issue is:
Some of these errors are output on my primary router (where FRR is still working).
So I assume the problematic errors here are:
Now, to clarify, it doesn't necessarily appear that the update directly caused this issue. I rolled back the machine to an earlier snapshot and was experiencing the same issue.... These OPNSense instances are in VM's, and I literally rolled back to a snapshot backup from 18 weeks ago when my upstream provider says they saw my secondary router check in on BGP (which was still running the original version and should have contained a known good config). So I don't see any logical reason why the backup has the issue too all of a sudden, maybe something has changed at the upstream or something, but I don't have enough knowledge yet about how FRR\Zebra work to know what would even cause these errors.
What tools and troubleshooting avenues are available here? The config test passes and the output seems unhelpful in actually figuring out the issue...
Thanks for any ideas!
