From @q2dg in #20 :

Current configuration guide (http://archive.openswitch.net/docs/3.0.0/openswitch_opx_300_config_guide.pdf) shows the use of ifconfig command. Maybe you could consider its deprecation state.
Moreover, you could consider replacing brctl command (which is deprecated, too, at least in Fedora) by bridge command (from iproute suite)

Actually, the latest configuration guide is for OPX 3.1.0 and it has been moved to the wiki. So we actually need to make corrections to the wiki documentation in places like this:

Hi,
When I run " sudo ./opx_setup" command, it report docker-opx image not found, and I also can not find the image from the web("https://index.docker.io/v1/repositories/library/docker-opx/images").

Unable to find image 'docker-opx:base' locally

I am trying to do a traffic forwarding test (snake test). For this i need to create various VLAN's and maintain a FDB. I am creating bridges using 'brctl' command and adding interfaces to it and able to do this fine. By using 'bridge' command trying to create a FDB but traffic forward is not happening and i am not sure whether the entries created is correct or not. In the below link (https://github.com/open-switch/opx-docs/wiki/Layer-2) it mentioned as there is no linux command support to manage MAC FDB's.

So now trying to access SAI libraries (libopx_sai_common.so) from Python(using ctypes) and still not succeeded in this.

Please kindly explain the steps to do a snake test / how to create/manage a FDB entry (command line or any application)

@mikelazar Is this project dead "again"? Rocket.Chat no longer working and no roadmap, nor active development.

I have a use case to create 3 opx vms and I should be able to ping from one vm to other.
Below is my Vagrantfile:

BOX_IMAGE="opx/2.3.0"
BOX_VERSION="2.3.0"
SWITCH_COUNT=3
Vagrant.configure("2") do |config|
(1..SWITCH_COUNT).each do |i|
config.vm.define "switch#{i}" do |subconfig|
subconfig.vm.box = BOX_IMAGE
subconfig.vm.box_version = BOX_VERSION
subconfig.vm.hostname = "switch#{i}"
subconfig.vm.network "private_network", ip: "10.0.0.#{i + 10}"
end
end

call shell scripts

config.vm.provision "shell", inline: <<-SHELL
apt-get update
apt-get install -y apache2
SHELL
end

When I'm trying to do vagrant up it fails with the below error:

The error message is shown below. In many cases, errors from this

get this error message, please view the documentation for the provider
you're using.

Can someone please help me to figure out why ssh is failing?

Does Linux commands (like brctl addbr, or ip route) will let the underlying switch silicon perform bridging or routing ? How can OPX help it ?

Thanks.

Hi ,
Is there any document to describe the existing CPS classes(objects) available to use?

Please check the attached architecture block.
For example, about L2 API/Schema, I need a document to describe what objects in L2 (forwarding tables, ACL tables ... ) available for use.

Since CPS API document doesn't mention them.

Thanks.

Jimmy

Looks like all these files were pasted poorly. All spacing is wrong.

The current instructions for running OPX in a virtual machine are quite cumbersome requiring to execute some untrusted binary lvm.

Please provide an image usable with QEMU/KVM, and document the instructions for that.

I might be missing some point in the OPX setup & config for L3 routing, but I can't make OPX to forward packets on Dell EMC S4248FBL-ON. After plain installation of OPX 3.1 I set

ip link set up dev e101-040-0
ip link set up dev e101-001-0
ip addr add 192.168.1.1/24 dev e101-040-0
ip addr add 192.168.2.1/24 dev e101-001-0

For the L3 test I have hosts with IP addresses 192.168.1.2 & 192.168.2.2 connected to the corresponding interfaces. The hosts (.2) can not ping the switch (.1) addresses. It seems switch can send out IMCP echo requests to the hosts, hosts are sending replies, but they never arrive to the Linux IP stack on the switch. And when I add routes to the hosts to use the .1 as a gateway for the other network it does not work as well. But ARP is working fine - I can see all the right records in ARP tables on the switch and on the hosts as well.

Both interfaces are up and running and there seems to be no L1/2 issue - I successfully tested L2 switching in the same physical setup beforehand.

If there is some simple step that I missed I suggest extending the L3 routing section of this manual with it.

Hi!

I'm doing a fresh install in a DELL Z9100-ON with the 3.2.0 image and after the first login if I do a "apt upgrade" the system hangs during the apt in:

Setting up opx-platform-config-dell-z9100 (1.8.1) ...

It seems that dpkg is not consuming resources:

If I stop manually the apt process (CTRL+c) and try to install the opx-platform-config-dell-z9100_1.8.1_all.deb package manually the result is the same:

Hi Guys!

Did anyone can build OPX for " FOXCONN S7810 " or "Netberg Aurora " ?
the oldest version of openswitch (OPS) is running, when I try to build new version compare with Dell EMC S4048-ON switches, the installation was failed and killed the process.

Hi All,

I want to run open-switch vm on QEMU, where should I download required vmdk from?

Thanks.

Get the following error when attempting to install the OpenSwitch VM:

$ ./lvm create openswitch --iso onie_kvm.iso --bin PKGS_OPX-3.2.1-installer-x86_64.bin

Configuration:

• Fresh install of virtualbox 6.1 with the version-matched Extension pack.
• Linux Ubuntu 18.04 (I realize the instructions say tested on 16.04)
• The ISO and BIN were downloaded into the directory from which I run lvm.

The error message:

Trying to install the OPX VM v2.2, I got the installer from https://archive.openswitch.net/vm-tools/2.2.0/lvm as suggested by https://github.com/open-switch/opx-docs/wiki/Run-virtual-machine.

Despite the URL, it installed VM 2.1, and gave no warning that it was doing so.

Nice stuff you got here with OPX, but will it work with DELL EMC switches I can actually find on Amazon or NewEgg or TigerDirect? The ones in the supported hardware list I'm having difficulty finding and perhaps even if I did find one by chance it would be out of my budget.

https://www.amazon.com/Dell-EMC-Networking-N1148P-ON-Switch/dp/B077BCDW9T/

I'm looking to run something custom instead of my current setup, OPX seems to be a great fit for what I'm trying to do since the netgear software kinda sucks. I want to be able to customize the software and fix bugs too.

Hi *,
I would like to install a p4 capability on an opx binary for DELL switch . Is the
https://github.com/open-switch/ops-switchd-p4switch-plugin correct approach ?

Cheers,
Dimitriss

The Interfaces wiki page states that there are CPS API examples for configuring Port-channel (LAG) bond interfaces (https://github.com/open-switch/opx-docs/wiki/Interfaces#delete-bond-interface)

I have not been able to find such an example.

Does such an example exist?
If not, is it currently possible to do the configuration shown in the Interfaces wiki page via the CPS API?

https://github.com/open-switch/opx-docs/wiki/Run-virtual-machine explains a little bit how to set up OPX in VirtualBox. Apart from appearing a "dummy0" and a "npu-0" interface in my VM which aren't explained (and I don't know for what they worth), my main concern is about how to use e101-NNN-x interfaces as a simple switch ports in a GNS3 environment. This software expects interfaces to connect should be in VirtualBox's "Not connected" mode to be able to manage them but VirtualBox by default only shows 4 interfaces, so with lo, eth0, dummy0 and nps-0, the quota has already been filled!!

In other words: how can I get rid of dummy-0 and npu-0 interfaces so, at least, I can have two "e101-NNN-x" interfaces recognized by VirtualBox to use as a regular (although only 2-port) switch inside GNS3 labs?

In other words, why there are so may "e101-NNN-x" interfaces if VirtualBox can't recognize them (and, therefore, GNS can't handle them)?

Thanks a lot

https://github.com/open-switch/opx-docs/wiki/Install-OPX-Base-on-Dell-EMC-ON-Series-platforms

A link https://github.com/open-switch/opx-docs/wiki/Install-OPX-Base-on-Dell-S6000-ON-platform is missing.

Did not know what's the best place to ask this, so asking here.
I wanted to know if open-switch can run on Accton-AS7712-32X. It is not explicitly mentioned in the supported hardware.
This is also an ONIE based whitebox switch. I am not sure if some special hardware support is required from switches to run open-switch. Will open-switch run out of the box on Accton-AS7712-32X (I guess the default port/interface config might be specific to the switch).

I follow the step (already install docker engine):

# get source code
repo init -u https://github.com/open-switch/opx-manifest && repo sync

# build all open-source packages
opx-build/scripts/opx_run opx_build all

# assemble installer
opx-build/scripts/opx_run opx_rel_pkgasm.py --dist unstable \
  -b opx-onie-installer/release_bp/OPX_dell_base.xml

while i exec opx-build/scripts/opx_run opx_build all, it turn out the error:

standard_init_linux.go:211: exec user process caused "exec format error"

So, How to run opx on raspberry pi 4?

Testing for a notification.

Hi *,

I have picked up opx/2.2.0-dev from the vagrant store. Do you know which architecture corresponds to ? I have used the following Vagrant file

-- mode: ruby --

vi: set ft=ruby :

Vagrant.configure("2") do |config|

# Configure switch, i.e., device under test (DUT)
config.vm.define "switch" do |switch|
    switch.vm.box = "opx/2.2.0-dev"

    switch.vm.network "private_network", ip: "172.16.0.10", netmask: "255.255.255.0", virtualbox__intnet: "gen-sw"
    switch.vm.network "private_network", ip: "172.16.0.11", netmask: "255.255.255.0", virtualbox__intnet: "sw-rcv"
    switch.vm.network "private_network", ip: "192.168.50.4"

    switch.vm.provider "virtualbox" do |virtualbox|
        # Customize the amount of memory on the VM:
        virtualbox.memory = "1024"
        virtualbox.cpus = "1"
        # Enable promiscuous mode
        virtualbox.customize ["modifyvm", :id, "--nicpromisc2", "allow-all"]
        virtualbox.customize ["modifyvm", :id, "--nicpromisc3", "allow-all"]
    end

end

which successfully executes boots up. This VM is not a S 6000 emulated switch though.
How can I find to which architecture corresponds to ?
What are the HW framework of the VMs in the vagrant store ?

Cheers,
Dimitris

Hi,

I am trying to build OPX by following the steps mentioned in the below link:
https://github.com/open-switch/opx-docs/wiki/OpenSwitch-build-system

With the "opx_setup" I am getting the following error. Could you point me to what I am missing or doing wrong here?
PS: I am able to resolve deb.debian.org and security.debian.org from outside the docker.

Thanks

Hello,

I was just wondering where I could find the source code of lvm?
Or is lvm not open source?

Hi, I've been trying to build the Openswitch code and environments using the following link:

https://github.com/open-switch/opx-docs/wiki/OpenSwitch-build-system

While trying to build the docker image, the script 'opx_setup' isn't in the opx-build/scripts directory. In fact, the file doesn't exist anywhere on my system. Could anyone help me by pointing out if I made a mistake while building the source code or if there is any other way to build the docker image?

I've been trying to figure this out, but couldn't find a good source, does OPX support OpenFlow?

Links to https://archive.openswitch.net/ (vm.exe, lvm and mvm) do not work because archive.openswitch.net does not support HTTPS.

Therefore all links should be converted to HTTP -> http://archive.openswitch.net/

Installed open switch vm on mac as per instructions provided in the wiki:
It creates a vm but says:
Setup complete! You can now connect using: ssh -p 2223 [email protected]

I am unable to ssh to it.

And after the installation, I see vm started in virtual box but its asking me username and password to login though I haven't provided any.
