I’m having quite the day today :/ This is Ubuntu 18.04. I have a static IP and default route configured. I’m using Ansible to provision these machines. I logged into the console on the box and ran ‘watch “ip route show”’ - to keep an eye on the routing table. As soon as ansible installed FRR - my default route was gone. I see this in the logs on the box: Aug 9 16:24:41 ubuntu frr[2186]: Removing all routes made by FRR. Technically the default route was there before FRR. So if that is what is removing it - color me confused. Once this happens - ansible gets stuck (my ansible is running from a box on a different subnet and therefore needs the default route to stay stable). Can someone explain this behavior to me ? Is there something I can do ? Put a temp static route in for my ansible host ? Add a route in a manner that FRR won’t touch it yet ? Would it help to have FRR config in place beforehand (I can do this in ansible easy enough) ? Many thanks in advance on this. I’m so so close on this project I’m working on. Just need to get over this bump. -- Brandon Applegate - CCIE 10273 PGP Key fingerprint: 0641 D285 A36F 533A 73E5 2541 4920 533C C616 703A "For thousands of years men dreamed of pacts with demons.
