Meaning, all the building blocks used on the left hand side can also be used freely on the right hand side as well. +### Bridging -# IP Addresses And Other Per-Interface IP settings +This is the most central part of the system. A bridge is a switch, and a switch is a bridge. In Linux, setting up a bridge with ports connected to physical switch fabric, means you manage the actual switch fabric! -Infix supports several network interface types, and each can be -assigned one or more IP addresses. Both IPv4 and IPv6 are supported. +In Infix ports are by default not switch ports, unless the customer specific factory config sets it up this way. To enable switching between ports you create a bridge and then add ports to that bridge. That's it. + +``` +admin@example:/> configure +admin@example:/config/> edit interfaces interface br0 +admin@example:/config/interfaces/interface/br0/> up +admin@example:/config/interfaces/> set interface eth0 bridge-port bridge br0 +admin@example:/config/interfaces/> set interface eth1 bridge-port bridge br0 +admin@example:/config/interfaces/> leave +``` + +Here we add two ports to bridge `br0`: `eth0` and `eth1`. + +> **Note:** Infix has many built-in helpers controlled by convention. E.g., if you name your bridge `brN`, where `N` is a number, Infix will set the interface type automatically for you, and unlock all bridge features for you. + +#### VLAN Filtering Bridge + +By default bridges in Linux do not filter based on VLAN tags. It can be enabled in Infix when creating a bridge by adding a port to a VLAN as a tagged or untagged member: + +``` +admin@example:/config/> edit interfaces interface br0 +admin@example:/config/interfaces/interface/br0/> up +admin@example:/config/interfaces/> set interface eth0 bridge-port bridge br0 +admin@example:/config/interfaces/> set interface eth1 bridge-port bridge br0 +admin@example:/config/interfaces/> edit interface br0 +admin@example:/config/interfaces/interface/br0/> set bridge vlans vlan 10 untagged eth0 +admin@example:/config/interfaces/interface/br0/> set bridge vlans vlan 20 untagged eth1 +``` + +This sets `eth0` as an untagged member of VLAN 10 and `eth1` as an +untagged member of VLAN 20. Switching between these ports is thus +prohibited. + +### VLAN Interfaces + +Creating a VLAN can be done in many ways. This section assumes VLAN interfaces created atop another Linux interface. E.g., the VLAN interfaces created on top of the bridge in the picture above. + +A VLAN interface is basically a filtering abstraction. When you run `tcpdump` on a VLAN interface you will only see the frames matching the VLAN ID of the interface, compared to *all* the VLAN IDs if you run `tcpdump` on the parent interface. + +``` +admin@example:/> configure +admin@example:/config/> edit interfaces interface eth0.20 +admin@example:/config/interfaces/interface/eth0.20/> set encapsulation dot1q-vlan outer-tag tag-type c-vlan vlan-id 20 +admin@example:/config/interfaces/interface/eth0.20/> set parent-interface eth0 +admin@example:/config/interfaces/interface/eth0.20/> leave +``` + +> **Note:** If you name your VLAN interface `foo0.N`, where `N` is a number, Infix will set the interface type automatically for you. + +## Management Plane + +This section details IP Addresses And Other Per-Interface IP settings. + +Infix support several network interface types, each can be assigned one or more IP addresses, both IPv4 and IPv6 are supported. ![IP on top of network interface examples](img/ip-iface-examples.svg) - -## IPv4 address assignment +### IPv4 Address Assignment Multiple address assignment methods are available: | **Type** | **Yang Model** | **Description** | -|:-----------|:------------------|:---------------------------------------------------------------| +|:---------- |:----------------- |:-------------------------------------------------------------- | | static | ietf-ip | Static assignment of IPv4 address, e.g., *10.0.1.1/24* | | link-local | infix-ip | Auto-assignment of IPv4 address in 169.254.x.x/16 range | | dhcp | infix-dhcp-client | Assignment of IPv4 address by DHCP server, e.g., *10.0.1.1/24* | - DHCP address method is only available for *LAN* interfaces (ethernet, virtual ethernet (veth), bridge, etc.) - -### Configuration examples - +#### Examples ![Switch example (eth0 and lo)](img/ip-address-example-switch.svg) @@ -70,11 +107,11 @@ DHCP address method is only available for *LAN* interfaces (ethernet, virtual et INTERFACE STATE PROTOCOL/ADDRESS SOURCE lo up 00:00:00:00:00:00 unknown 127.0.0.1/8 - + eth0 up 02:00:00:00:00:00 unknown root@example:/> -#### Configuring static IP and link-local IP addresses +##### Static IP and link-local IP addresses ![Setting static IPv4 (and link-local IPv4)](img/ip-address-example-ipv4-static.svg) @@ -87,14 +124,14 @@ DHCP address method is only available for *LAN* interfaces (ethernet, virtual et INTERFACE STATE PROTOCOL/ADDRESS SOURCE lo up 00:00:00:00:00:00 unknown 127.0.0.1/8 - + eth0 up 02:00:00:00:00:00 unknown 169.254.1.3/16 10.0.1.1/24 - + root@example:/> - -#### Use of DHCP for address assignment + +##### Use of DHCP for address assignment ![Using DHCP for address assignment](img/ip-address-example-ipv4-dhcp.svg) @@ -107,32 +144,27 @@ DHCP address method is only available for *LAN* interfaces (ethernet, virtual et INTERFACE STATE PROTOCOL/ADDRESS SOURCE lo up 00:00:00:00:00:00 unknown 127.0.0.1/8 - + eth0 up 02:00:00:00:00:00 unknown 10.1.2.100/24 - + root@example:/> - -## IPv6 address assignment +### IPv6 Address Assignment Multiple address assignment methods are available: | **Type** | **Yang Model** | **Description** | -|:-----------------|:---------------|:--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------| +|:---------------- |:-------------- |:------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | static | ietf-ip | Static assignment of IPv6 address, e.g., *2001:db8:0:1::1/64* | -| link-local | ietf-ip[^1] | (RFC4862) Auto-configured link-local IPv6 address (*fe80::0* prefix + interface identifier, e.g., *fe80::ccd2:82ff:fe52:728b/64*) | +| link-local | ietf-ip[^2] | (RFC4862) Auto-configured link-local IPv6 address (*fe80::0* prefix + interface identifier, e.g., *fe80::ccd2:82ff:fe52:728b/64*) | | global auto-conf | ietf-ip | (RFC4862) Auto-configured (stateless) global IPv6 address (prefix from router + interface identifier, e.g., *2001:db8:0:1:ccd2:82ff:fe52:728b/64* | - -[^1]: Link-local IPv6 addresses are implicitly enabled when enabling IPv6.
