ansible-frr

Ansible role to install/configure FRR

NOTE: FRRouting (FRR) is an IP routing protocol suite for Linux and Unix platforms which includes protocol daemons for BFD, BGP, IS-IS, LDP, OSPF, PIM, and RIP.

Route Maps and Prefix Lists

Route Maps

Configuring Route Maps

Below is an example of Route Maps Configuration:

frr_route_map:
  RTBH:
    permit 10:
      interface: blackhole
      prefix_list: Bad_IPs
      origin: igp
      community: "12345:100"
      src: 2001:db8::bf03
  RTBH_IN:
    deny 10: []

General Options

IP/IPv6 Forwarding

Below is an example of enabling ip and ipv6 forwading:

frr_ip_forwarding: true
frr_ipv6_forwarding: true

To enable kernel forwarding, the role sets the sysctl variables net.ipv4.ip_forward and net.ipv6.conf.all.forwarding. To customize the location of the sysctl configuration, the following variable may be used:

frr_sysctl_file: /etc/sysctl.d/100-ansible-frr.conf

Next-hop tracking via default

Resolve nexthops using the default route; useful if BGP peer is only reachable via default gateway (disabled by default).

To enable:

frr_nht_resolve_default: true

Prefix Lists

Configuring Prefix Lists

Below is an example of Prefix List Configuration:

frr_prefix_list:
  Bad_IPs:
    05 permit:
      prefix: 192.168.88.0/24
      match: ge 32
    10 permit:
      prefix: 172.16.0.0/16
      match: le 32
frr_prefix_list_v6:
  Bad_IPs:
    05 permit:
      prefix: 1234:5678::/32
      match: ge 128

Access Lists

Configuring Access Lists

Below is an example

frr_access_list:
  - "10 permit 10.10.10.21/32"
  - "10 permit 192.168.0.0/17"
  - "101 permit ip 10.0.0.0 0.0.0.255 any"

Bidirectional Forwarding Detection (BFD)

Enable BFD

To enable BFD, make sure that bfdd: true is configured under:

frr_daemons:
  bfdd: true
  bgpd: false
  isisd: false
  ldpd: false
  nhrpd: false
  ospf6d: false
  ospfd: false
  pimd: false
  ripd: false
  ripngd: false
  zebra: true

Configuring BFD

BFD configuration is made under BGP neighbor settings. BFD for OSPF is not supported yet.

Supported Routing Protocols

Protocol	Implemented	Notes
BGP	X	Only initial config
OSPF	X	Only initial config
STATIC	X	Only initial config

BGP

Enable BGP

To enable BGP routing, make sure that bgpd: true is configured under:

frr_daemons:
  bfdd: false
  bgpd: false
  isisd: false
  ldpd: false
  nhrpd: false
  ospf6d: false
  ospfd: false
  pimd: false
  ripd: false
  ripngd: false
  zebra: true

OSPF

Enable OSPF

To enable OSPF routing, make sure that ospfd: true is configured under:

frr_daemons:
  bfdd: false
  bgpd: false
  isisd: false
  ldpd: false
  nhrpd: false
  ospf6d: false
  ospfd: false
  pimd: false
  ripd: false
  ripngd: false
  zebra: true

Configuring OSPF

In order to configure OSPF, define the following based on your requirements:

frr_ospf:
  areas:
    0:
      networks:
        - "{{ frr_router_id }}/32"
    1:
      networks:
        - "{{ hostvars[inventory_hostname]['ansible_enp0s8']['ipv4']['address'] }}/24"
      auth: true

    2:
      networks:
        - "{{ hostvars[inventory_hostname]['ansible_enp0s9']['ipv4']['address'] }}/24"
      type: nssa

  log_adjacency_changes: true
  passive_interfaces: # A list of interfaces to set passive
    - default
  redistribute: # A list of protocols to redistribute
    - bgp
    - connected
    - kernel
    - ospf
    - static
  distribute_list:
    - name: 10
      dir: out
      protocol: connected

VRF-aware OSPF

Each key under frr_ospf_vrf_enabled represents VRF name:

frr_ospf_vrf_enabled:
  public:
    redistribute:
    - bgp
    - connected
    passive_interfaces:
     - lo
    log_adjacency_changes: true
    areas:
      1:
        networks:
          - "{{ hostvars[inventory_hostname]['ansible_ens3']['ipv4']['address'] }}/30"
        auth: true
  mgmt:
    redistribute:
      - kernel
    areas:
      0:
        networks:
          - 172.16.0.0/12
      2:
        networks:
          - 192.168.0.0/16
        type: nssa

STATIC

Configuring STATIC routes

In order to configure static routes, define the following based on your requirements:

frr_static: # A dict. key = destination, value = nexthop
  10.0.0.0/8: 192.168.1.1
  1.1.1.1: 192.168.1.1
  1.1.1.2: blackhole
frr_static_v6: # A dict. key = destination, value = nexthop
  2001:0db8:85a3:8a2e::/64 2001::1

Interface Configuration

Interfaces

frr_interfaces: # A dict. key = iface name, value = iface data
  lo:
    ip: 10.0.0.0/32 # ip can be a single value or list
    ipv6: 2001:0db8:85a3:8a2e::1/64 # ipv6 can be a single value or list
    description: loopback
  eth0:
    ip: # ip can be a single value or list
      - 10.0.0.0/32
      - 172.16.0.0/32
    ipv6: # ipv6 can be a single value or list
      - 2001:0db8:85a3:8a2e::1/64
      - 2001:0db8:85a3:8a2e::2/64
    vrf: management # put interface in 'management' VRF
    auth:
      id: 1
      key: supersecret
    other:
      - "no ipv6 nd suppress-ra"
      - "link-detect"

NOTE: Device should have correct VRF assignment on each vrf-aware interface:

ip link set dev ${IFACE} master ${VRF}

Upgrade/Downgrade

NOTE: FRR is unable to be downgraded from 6.0.2 using this role.

You can upgrade or downgrade FRR by setting the following variable:

frr_version: 6.0.2 from frr_version: 6.0

Quagga configuration

NOTE: Quagga must be installed from the local repos of the OS

You can configure quagga instead of FRR by using the following variable:

routing_type: quagga

Additional Quagga-specific configurations
