FRR Zebra / BGP do not seem to start on boot anymore

mfld · Mar 18, 2021, 7:51 AM

Took lab instance from 2.5.0 to 2.5.1.r.20210317.0300.

Upon reboot, FRR is stopped. Have to manually start it and it will stay up.

Anyone else / Known issue or shall I dig around and see if we have something for redmine ?

@mfld Please check /var/etc/frr/frr.conf and /var/log/frr/frr-reload.log for any errors

@mfld Please check /var/etc/frr/frr.conf and /var/log/frr/frr-reload.log for any errors

Just did another update

From 2.5.1.r.20210317.0300 to 2.5.1.r.20210318.0300

FRR was running and BGP session was established.

Upgrade done, rebooted. FRR not running.

cat /var/etc/frr/frr.conf
cat: /var/etc/frr/frr.conf: No such file or directory

as for /var/log/frr/frr-reload.log it has no entries after the time that the reboot started. No clues as to why it would fail to start.

When I go to Services -> FRR Global / Zebra, uncheck "Enable FRR", save, check it again, save again, all comes up and stays up until next reboot.
