There should be no functional change in this patch. In this patch we rewrite the data collection in python3. This is the new script called "yanger". It runs various commands on the system, such as "ip" and "ethtool". It then mangles the output data from these commands into valid YANG data. The yanger script is started from the sysrepo callback in the statd c code. Its output is parsed using lyd_parse_data_fd(). This means that the daemon part of statd is still written in c and the new python code is only used when getting a query callback from sysrepo. The c code still handles the interface netlink messages from the kernel which controls what interfaces statd should do sysrepo subscribe/unsubscribe to. Signed-off-by: Richard Alpe <richard@bit42.se>
Documentation
Infix is a Linux Network Operating System (NOS) based on Buildroot, and sysrepo. A powerful mix that ease porting to different platforms, simplify long-term maintenance, and provide made-easy management using NETCONF1 (remote) or the built-in CLI.
Example CLI Session
The CLI configure context is automatically generated from the loaded YANG models and their corresponding sysrepo plugins. The following is brief example of how to set the IP address of an interface:
admin@infix-12-34-56:/> configure
admin@infix-12-34-56:/config/> edit interfaces interface eth0
admin@infix-12-34-56:/config/interfaces/interface/eth0/> set ipv4 <TAB>
address autoconf bind-ni-name enabled
forwarding mtu neighbor
admin@infix-12-34-56:/config/interfaces/interface/eth0/> set ipv4 address 192.168.2.200 prefix-length 24
admin@infix-12-34-56:/config/interfaces/interface/eth0/> show
type ethernetCsmacd;
ipv4 address 192.168.2.200 prefix-length 24;
ipv6 enabled true;
admin@infix-12-34-56:/config/interfaces/interface/eth0/> diff
interfaces {
interface eth0 {
+ ipv4 {
+ address 192.168.2.200 {
+ prefix-length 24;
+ }
+ }
}
}
admin@infix-12-34-56:/config/interfaces/interface/eth0/> leave
admin@infix-12-34-56:/> show interfaces brief
lo UNKNOWN 00:00:00:00:00:00 <LOOPBACK,UP,LOWER_UP>
eth0 UP 52:54:00:12:34:56 <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP,LOWER_UP>
admin@infix-12-34-56:/> show ip brief
lo UNKNOWN 127.0.0.1/8 ::1/128
eth0 UP 192.168.2.200/24 fe80::5054:ff:fe12:3456/64

Infix can run on many different types of architectures and boards, much thanks to Linux and Buildroot. Currently the focus is on 64-bit ARM devices, optionally with switching fabric supported by Linux switchdev. The following boards are fully supported:
- Marvell CN9130 CRB
- Marvell EspressoBIN
- Microchip SparX-5i PCB135 (eMMC)
An x86_64 build is also available, primarily intended for development and testing, but can also be used for evaluation and demo purposes. For more information, see: Infix in Virtual Environments.
See the GitHub Releases page for our pre-built images. The Latest Build has the bleeding edge images, if possible we recommend using a versioned release.
For customer specific builds of Infix, see your product repository.
