Description sfaye 2023-02-07 15:24:46 UTC
+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #2166630 +++

Description of problem:

When using a vrf, a rule like 

1000:   from all lookup [l3mdev-table]

is created, so it's common practice to change the priority of the rule associated with the "local" table to a higher value.
The issue is that it's not currently possible with nmstate.

A desired state of 

route-rules:
  config:
    - route-table: 255
      priority: 0
      family: ipv4
      state: absent
    - route-table: 255
      priority: 32765
      family: ipv4

Will result in an error.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):


How reproducible:

Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Apply the configuration above
2.
3.

Actual results:

The configuration is refused

Expected results:

The priority of the rule related to the "local" route table changes.
