1.1.8 followup

LLDP bug

James Brown reported on phabricator that LLDP is not working in 1.1.8. Quite a mess up on our side: the reason it's not working is that it's built against the old OpenSSL 0.9.8 which is no longer in VyOS, but since the debian/control was missing dependency on libssl, it wasn't detected as dependent on OpenSSL and thus wasn't rebuilt.

If you want LLDP back right now, you can install the helium3 package from our repository (http://dev.packages.vyos.net/legacy/repos/vyos/pool/main/l/lldpd/).

OSPF route-map

One feature is missing from the changelog because it was committed "stealthily", without a task number, and thus I missed it. It's the command for setting up route-map for installing routes imported from OSPF.

set protocols ospf route-map MyMap

This route-map can prevent routes from getting installed into the kernel routing table, but make no mistake, it is not incoming route filtering (which would be very bad for OSPF). The routes will stay in OSPFd and in the RIB (they will be displayed as inactive).

The future of 1.1.x

So far it looks like we are going to make an 1.1.9 release to fix the LLDP bug. Perhaps we should also cherry-pick something safe from 1.2.0 too, if you have any specific bugfix or a tiny feature is mind, let us know.

VyOS 1.1.8 on AWS

The official 1.1.8 AMI passed the automated tests and it's on its way to the marketplace, the manual review by the marketplace team will take perhaps a week or so.

If you want to make you own, you can already use the AMI build scripts and point it to the (signed) release image URL.

And while we are at it: IPv6 in VyOS 1.2.0

I've re-enabled the old patch for IPv6 VRRP in the current branch and it will be in today's nightly build. In 1.1.x, we had to disable it because in the older keepalived version IPv4 and IPv6 VRRP were mutually exclusive, however, in the current branch, it seems to work. If you feel adventurous, please test the nightly build (on lab VMs!) and tell us it it works for you.

Also, on the forum, it was reported that the current branch image doesn't build. I've resolved that problem today so if you want to build an image, it should work.

Load balancing problem in 1.1.4 amd64 image

daniil@sentrium.io (Daniil Baturin) — Wed, 11 Mar 2015 00:01:06 GMT

I hope none of those who use load balancing had time to update to 1.1.4 image, because it was reported that it doesn’t work there.
