Hello, Just a question and maybe a suggestion. I am implementing a few DCs that use vxlan symmetric routing and hence, layer2 redundancy protocols like CARP (and VRRP/HSRP) do not work as intended due to evpn layer2 being the technology of choice to announce ARP entries.
This led me to try out the "depend on carp" functionality that is available on openbgpd. It does what I want, partially. It would be much more usable if you cold define what this functionality does in case of a CARP backup state. Currently it puts the bgp neighbor into Idle state. However, it would be better if one could define that it should as-path prepend and/or add a metric (MED) instead. This way, carp failovers would not rely on the tedious and relatively time consuming process of setting up a BGP session and announcing prefixes before it can truly be carp master. WDYT?
