Automated IRR-based prefix-lists for Arista EOS.
The EOS Prefix List Agent is an EOS SDK based agent that runs under ProcMrg
on an Arista EOS based device, VM or container.
The agent maintains up-to-date prefix-list policy objects for use in EOS routing policy configurations, based on data in the IRR.
The agent will periodically check the running configuration of the device to gather a list of prefix-lists that it is responsible for maintaining. It will then retrieve the required data from the IRR via an RPTK web service, and update the prefix-lists without calling the EOS config parser.
Installation, configuration and operational documentation is available here.
External contributions of all forms are welcomed and appreciated.
Potential contributors are requested to open an issue for discussion prior to spending time on an implementation.
Due to the on-going transition from Python 2.7 to 3 within EOS, this
project contains different Python packages, targeting different interpreter
versions. We hope that this unfortunate complexity will go away in time.
Additionally, the build process and test suite depend on the availability of an Arista cEOS-lab container image. We cannot currently provide this within the repository for licensing reasons.
As a result, external contributors are advised to reach out to oss@workonline.africa or via an issue for assistance setting up a working local development environment.
We apologise for the additional work!
Previous versions were provided as Python packages via PyPI.
Due to changes in the design of the project this installation method is no longer viable, and new versions are no longer published.
Users should install via the published SWIX packages, not via pip.
