Hello.

I’m currently trying to setup an EVPN SDN with proxmox (FRR) and bird 
for route reflectors and gateways.

My RR  BGP conf is like :

template bgp vtep {
   vrf "vrf-underlay";
    local as 65000;
    source address router_id;
    rr client;
    #rr cluster id 172.16.2.20;

    evpn {
     table evpnrr;
     igp table underlay;
     import all;
     export all;
    };
}
protocol bgp uproxrtr1 from vtep {
    neighbor 172.16.2.21 internal;
}

This is working as long as bird is establishing the connexion. But the 
listening socket is opened in the default VRF.

The issue disapear with bird 2.19.0, so I’ll stick with it for now.
