chore(bgp): Add BGP unnumbered - #1783
Conversation
📝 WalkthroughWalkthroughChangesBGP configuration now supports unnumbered interface peers. Kubernetes conversion, underlay validation, internal models, FRR rendering, and generated test inputs handle both numbered and unnumbered neighbors. BGP unnumbered neighbors
Suggested reviewers: Merge Risk: ⚪ Minimal · up to The change adds BGP unnumbered support with only a localized clarification needed for the IPv6 addressing rule; no actionable merge-blocking risk remains after normal review. 🚥 Pre-merge checks | ✅ 5✅ Passed checks (5 passed)

Pull request overview
Adds support for BGP unnumbered neighbors (interface-based peering) across the config model, Kubernetes CRD conversion, and FRR config rendering, with validation and tests to prevent invalid interface/address combinations.
Changes:
- Introduces
BgpNeighType::Interfaceplus constructors/helpers to model unnumbered BGP neighbors. - Updates FRR BGP renderer to emit
neighbor <ifname> interface ...for unnumbered peers and adds targeted rendering tests. - Extends K8s conversion + fuzz generators to allow
ip: Noneas the unnumbered neighbor shape, and adds underlay validation/tests for interface addressing constraints.

The PR description says unnumbered “requires … no IP address configured” on the peering interface, but the implementation only forbids IPv4 (and explicitly allows IPv6 in tests). Please align the stated requirement with the implemented behavior (either update the description/docs to say “no IPv4” or tighten validation to reject any addressing).
if iface.has_ipv4_address() {
return Err(ConfigError::Invalid(format!(
"BGP neighbor over interface '{ifname}' has no address, requesting \
BGP unnumbered, but '{ifname}' has an IPv4 address: unnumbered \
requires an interface with no IPv4 addressing"
)));

Interface (unnumbered) neighbors can still have neigh.bfd == true, but the BFD peer list is currently derived only from BgpNeighType::Host neighbors (config/src/internal/routing/bfd.rs:59-74), so unnumbered neighbors won’t get a BFD peer configured (mgmt/src/processor/confbuild/internal.rs:377-380). Please decide whether to (a) add BFD support for unnumbered peers, or (b) reject/ignore bfd for BgpNeighType::Interface neighbors to avoid a half-configured session.
BgpNeighType::Interface(ifname) => {
let iface = self.vrf.interfaces.get(ifname).ok_or_else(|| {
ConfigError::Invalid(format!(
"BGP neighbor peers over interface '{ifname}', which is not configured"

If IP address of BGP Neighbor is not specified, Dataplane should configure FRR Peering using BGP Unnumbered. It requires source interface present for neighbor and no IP address configured on it.

173-174: 🎯 Functional Correctness | 🔵 TrivialClarify the IPv6 addressing rule for unnumbered peers.
BgpNeighType::InterfacecallsInterfaceConfig::has_ipv4_address, which ignores IPv6 addresses. The IPv6-only test therefore remains valid. If unnumbered peers must have no configured IP address, reject IPv6 addresses and update the test. Otherwise, state that only IPv4 addresses are prohibited.🤖 Prompt for AI Agents
