bgpd: fix interface on leaks from redistribute connected
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
In the target VRF's Routing Information Base (RIB), routes that are
leaked and originate from the 'redistribute connected' command have
their next-hop interface set as the interface from the source VRF.
This prevents the IP address of the connected interface from being
reachable from the target VRF.

Extract from the routing table:
> VRF r1-cust1:
> C>* 172.16.29.0/24 is directly connected, r1-eth4, 00:44:15
> S>* 192.0.2.0/24 [1/0] is directly connected, r1-cust4 (vrf r1-cust4), weight 1, 00:00:30
>
> VRF r1-cust4:
> B>* 172.16.29.0/24 [20/0] is directly connected, r1-eth4 (vrf r1-cust1), weight 1, 00:00:02

In r1-cust4 VRF, the nexthop interface of 172.16.29.0/24 is r1-eth4,
which is unknown in the context. The following ping does not work:

> # tcpdump -lnni r1-cust1 'icmp' &
> # ip vrf exec r1-cust4 ping -c1 -I 192.0.2.1 172.16.29.1
> PING 172.16.29.1 (172.16.29.1) 56(84) bytes of data.
PING 172.16.29.1 (172.16.29.1) from 192.0.2.1 : 56(84) bytes of data.
18:49:20.635638 IP 192.0.2.1 > 172.16.29.1: ICMP echo request, id 15897, seq 1, length 64
18:49:27.113827 IP 192.0.2.1 > 192.0.2.1: ICMP host 172.16.29.1 unreachable, length 92

Fix the issue by setting nh_ifindex to the index of the VRF master
interface of the incoming BGP instance. The result is:

> VRF r1-cust4:
> C>* 192.0.2.0/24 is directly connected, r1-cust5, 00:27:40
> B>* 172.16.29.0/24 [20/0] is directly connected, r1-cust1 (vrf r1-cust1), weight 1, 00:00:08

> # tcpdump -lnni r1-cust1 'icmp' &
> # ping -c1 172.16.29.1 -I 192.0.2.1
> PING 172.16.29.1 (172.16.29.1) from 192.0.2.1 : 56(84) bytes of data.
> 18:48:32.506281 IP 192.0.2.1 > 172.16.29.1: ICMP echo request, id 15870, seq 1, length 64
> 64 bytes from 172.16.29.1: icmp_seq=1 ttl=64 time=0.050 ms
> 18:48:32.506304 IP 172.16.29.1 > 192.0.2.1: ICMP echo reply, id 15870, seq 1, length 64
