Hi Don, Thank you for the quick reply. You are correct, only the hostname is having an issue. ospf router id is still around after jumping in and out the vtysh.

I've found the hostname setting to be unreliable because FRR derives it from the kernel. I have a bug assigned to me to figure how to make it persistent but haven't gotten around to it yet.
