Brandon -

Sounds like you really want vrf's.  Configure a vrf interface and
enslave the appropriate interfaces

Hey Donald,

Thanks for the pointer.  After I posted this I did try to play around with vrf functionality.  Seems like I’m missing some minimal config to make the vrf active.  In the Cisco IOS world on some platforms, this bit of config is the RD (even if you aren’t doing BGP or using the RD).  The vrf won’t “come alive” until it has this.

Is there something similar in FRR ?  As you might be able to tell - my use case is very minimal - just trying to “hide” an interface/route.  Here’s what I get:

--
student1-r1(config)# vrf mgmt
student1-r1(config-vrf)# exit
student1-r1(config)# int ens160 vrf
 NAME  The VRF name
    mgmt
student1-r1(config)# int ens160 vrf mgmt
% VRF mgmt not active
