Change summary
Moving an interface in, out or between VRFs will not re-install the received default route. This is because the dhclient binary is not restarted in the new VRF. Dhclient itself will report an error like:
receive_packet failed on eth0.10: Network is down
.Take the return value of
vyos.ifconfig.Interface().set_vrf()
into account to forcefully restart the DHCP client process and optain a proper lease.Types of changes
