Hi Neale, Thanks for your reply.
I noticed that there is a function for IPv6 named ip6_sw_interface_admin_up_down() in src/vnet/ip/ip6_forward.c which seems like it iterates the IPv6 addresses on an interface and adds or deletes the routes for each address if the interface is brought up or down. So maybe this is already handled for IPv6? If I'm understanding that correctly, do you think it would be appropriate to add a similar function for IPv4 and register it with VNET_SW_INTERFACE_ADMIN_UP_DOWN_FUNCTION()? -Matt On Wed, Jul 17, 2019 at 3:33 AM Neale Ranns (nranns) <nra...@cisco.com> wrote: > > > Hi Matt, > > > > I would tend to agree with you.
