Debian Networking: static routes are not applying metric parameter

[Andre Kantek]

Brief Description

It was detected during tests that the parameter metric is not correctly applied on the kernel's routing table.

This parameter can be applied with the system API, if using CLI with the command:

system host-route-add [node] [interface] [route] [prefix] [gateway] [metric]

Severity

<Minor: System/Feature is usable with minor issue>

Steps to Reproduce

Add a route:
system host-route-add 1 oam0 54:ff9b:: 64 fd00::1 22

Expected Behavior

metric 22 should be seen on the kernel with the command "ip -6 route"

Actual Behavior

Route is created but the metric value is not

Reproducibility

Reproducible: issue is 100% reproducible

System Configuration

AIO-Simplex with IPv6 (in VBox)

BUILD_ID="2022-06-02_19-00-01"

Last Pass

First execution on Debian

    Debian: process route metric parameter

    It was detected that the static route's metric parameter is not
    applied on the kernel if configured on sysinv database. The cause is
    located on the puppet-network module not adding the information to
    /var/run/network-scripts.puppet/routes.

    This change adds the necessary modification to process the options
    field on the hiera file.

    Test Plan:
    PASS set parameter with system host-route-add and lock/unlock and
          verify metric value on the kernel

    Closes-Bug: 1977983

    Debian: process route metric parameter

    If the file /var/run/network-scripts.puppet/routes contains the metric
    value, it is not processed by apply_network_config.sh

    This change adds the field to be parsed and used with "ip route add"

    Test Plan:
    PASS set parameter with system host-route-add and lock/unlock and
          verify metric value on the kernel
