FRR BGP Communities issue

tomli

Hi All,

Pfsense version 2.4.5-p1
FRR package vesrion: 7.3.1

I added the communities in FFR by GUI:-

I cannot see the configuration in the CLI. Therefore I cannot change the localPref in BGP routing.

. I tried to add it manual in CLI and I can add the localPref in BGP routing. Is it a bug in Pfsense?

Please advise.

Are you add the communities by GUI?
2. can you check the FRR configuration by vtysh console?

Thx.

fix is ready: https://redmine.pfsense.org/issues/11333#note-4
Please wait for the next pkg update

You could fix it manually by replacing ip to bgp in frr_bgp.inc:

+++ b/net/pfSense-pkg-frr/files/usr/local/pkg/frr/inc/frr_bgp.inc
