So currently if you want to specify the default vrf as a string you have to use: Default-IP-Routing-Table Do people have opinions on what to use? I am thinking of making the keyword `default` special in that it will allow lookup of the default vrf if entered. thoughts? doanld

I appreciate this idea. `Default-IP-Routing-Table` is hard to type. A simple `default` is much more convenient and I don't see any downside on doing this change. []s -- Renato Westphal
Donald, Renato, so "default" will be a VRF like the other ones. And it will be accessible in all show vrf <> commands. This is the goal of the change wished ? I agree on the principle. However, some care will be needed: - when creating other VRF, since the keyword "default" will be reserved. - BGP uses the same keyword ( it is hardcoded in bgp_route.c . Some changes will be needed too. Philippe On Thu, Mar 29, 2018 at 11:29 PM, Renato Westphal < renato@opensourcerouting.org> wrote:

... Maybe consider the word `main`, too(?) (is used by fx routeros as keyword for the default routing table) Christoffer Hansen "You might think that your government is vigilant when it comes to securing your personal information, or that of your children. You would be wrong." - Jake Tapper, CNN Chief Washington Correspondent
I would not say we would have a 'show ip route vrf default', although I suppose you could add that. `default` just means to me the main routing table. We need a way to signal that we want to do route leaking from the main routing table( static or through bgp ). So in my mind the default keyword is just a special word used to say 'main routing table' for purposes of figuring out where we are trying to apply the command. But I agree there is non-trivial amount of work needed to put this in. donald On Fri, Mar 30, 2018 at 5:20 AM, Philippe Guibert <philippe.guibert@6wind.com> wrote:
