BGPD and gRPC

[mehrdadrad]

Hello,

I need to configure bgpd through gRPC. I enabled bgpd and gRPC at daemons configuration as below:

bgpd=yes
bgpd_options="   -A 127.0.0.1 -M grpc:50055"

Once I try the python example to get the capabilities it just shows the below but I can not see frr-bgp, frr-bgp-neighbor, frr-bgp-peer-group and other available yang models which they are available for bgpd at repo under /yang. any idea? should I expect to see those capabilities to manage bgpd through gRPC? I need to add/remove neighbors plus shutdown a neighbor. any solution or workaround?

bgpd does not have YANG support yet, so it's not really possible manage through gRPC/YANG/NETCONF.

[aseemavi]

Any progress on gRPC support since?

[ton31337]

Not yet, someone has to implement that (it's a very huge change).

Dear FRRouting community,

Any news on gRPC for bgpd?

Thank you
