Hi Matt, Sounds like exactly what we need.

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<mailto:nra...@cisco.com>> wrote: Hi Matt, I would tend to agree with you. The interface’s IP addresses should not be programmed in the FIB if the interface is down. /neale De : <vpp-dev@lists.fd.io<mailto:vpp-dev@lists.fd.io>> au nom de "Matthew Smith via Lists.Fd.Io<http://Lists.Fd.Io>" <mgsmith=netgate....@lists.fd.io<mailto:netgate....@lists.fd.io>> Répondre à : "mgsm...@netgate.com<mailto:mgsm...@netgate.com>" <mgsm...@netgate.com<mailto:mgsm...@netgate.com>> Date : mardi 16 juillet 2019 à 21:42 À : vpp-dev <vpp-dev@lists.fd.io<mailto:vpp-dev@lists.fd.io>> Cc : "vpp-dev@lists.fd.io<mailto:vpp-dev@lists.fd.io>" <vpp-dev@lists.fd.io<mailto:vpp-dev@lists.fd.io>> Objet : [vpp-dev] loopback admin status Hi, If I create a loopback interface and configure an IP address on it, I am able to ping that IP address from another host regardless of whether the admin status of the loopback is up or down. Is that intentional? I'm trying to figure out if this is something that can be "fixed" or if the current behavior is the way it's supposed to be. If I use a loopback as an endpoint for services and want to take the services offline temporarily, it would be convenient to be able to take the interface down and have the services effectively be disabled. -Matt
