Hi

I try to configure OSPF6 on proxmox to route a loopback address. Every time I try to do this in vtysh I get it to work. But I find nowhere to create a loopback or configure OSPF for IPv6 in SDN. And every time I try to apply the SDN config it seems to get lost.

I have read that it previously was a frr.conf.local that you could edit but that does not seem to work in version 9. Is there a simple solution to this?
 
Could you please post the contents of frr.conf.local and the contents of the generated frr.conf as well as your /etc/pve/sdn/fabrics.cfg ?

Just to make sure: After editing frr.conf.local, the SDN configuration needs to be re-generated and applied once in order for the changes from the frr.conf.local to take effect. You can also use the dry-run functionality to preview the changes to the SDN configuration, without applying it.


Edit: regarding IPv6 support in OSPF, there is also a related tracking issue in our bugzilla [1].

This is the frr.conf.local

Code:
!
interface bond0
 ipv6 ospf6 area 0.0.0.0
 ipv6 ospf6 network point-to-point
exit
!
interface lo
 ipv6 address 2a01:6860:0:300::14a:538/128
 ipv6 ospf6 area 0.0.0.0
exit
!

and the frr.conf

Code:
frr version 10.6.1
frr defaults datacenter
hostname s5711
log syslog informational
service integrated-vtysh-config
!
router bgp 65001
 bgp router-id 225.164.70.214

 no bgp default ipv4-unicast

 no bgp graceful-restart notification
 neighbor VTEP peer-group
 neighbor VTEP remote-as 65001
 neighbor VTEP bfd
 neighbor 2a01:6860::f000:0:2a:929 peer-group VTEP
 !
 address-family l2vpn evpn
  neighbor VTEP activate
  neighbor VTEP route-map MAP_VTEP_IN in
  neighbor VTEP route-map MAP_VTEP_OUT out

 exit-address-family
exit
!
route-map MAP_VTEP_IN permit 1
exit
!
route-map MAP_VTEP_OUT permit 1
exit
!

and the fabrics.conf

Code:
ospf_fabric: ospf6
        area 0.0.0.0
        ip_prefix 10.100.57.0/24
