[Bug 1771783] Re: iproute2: frr route protocols are not converted to string on xenial

[Nicolas Dichtel]

It works on my side:

$ ./ip/ip r a 2.2.2.0/24 via 10.0.2.123 dev mgmt0 proto 188 metric 20
$ ./ip/ip r | grep 2.2.2
2.2.2.0/24 via 10.0.2.123 dev mgmt0  proto 188  metric 20
$ mkdir -p /etc/iproute2/rt_protos.d
$ echo "188 foo" > /etc/iproute2/rt_protos.d/bar.conf
$ ./ip/ip r | grep 2.2.2
2.2.2.0/24 via 10.0.2.123 dev mgmt0  proto foo  metric 20

Title:
  iproute2: frr route protocols are not converted to string on xenial

Status in iproute2 package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  FRR puts its own proto numbers when inserting a route, example:
  $ ip route
  [snip]
  2.2.2.0/24 via 3.3.3.2 dev eth2  proto 188  metric 20 

  iproute2 defines some protocols, but not all:

  A patch has been pushed upstream so that external applications can define their protocols numbers:
