Joachim Wiberg f679ed7191 Update documentation, interfaces interface foo -> interface foo
With the latest bump of klish-plugin-sysrepo we no longer need the extra
container name in commands and paths.

Also, update the "show interfaces" example in the top-level README.

Infix is a Linux Network Operating System (NOS) based on [Buildroot][1],
and [sysrepo][2]. A powerful mix that ease porting to different
platforms, simplify long-term maintenance, and provide made-easy
management using NETCONF[^1] (remote) or the built-in [command
line interface (CLI)][3] (click the foldout for an example).
<details><summary><b>Example CLI Session</b></summary>
The CLI configure context is automatically generated from the loaded
YANG models and their corresponding [sysrepo][2] 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 interface eth0
admin@infix-12-34-56:/config/interface/eth0/> set ipv4 <TAB>
address autoconf bind-ni-name enabled
forwarding mtu neighbor
admin@infix-12-34-56:/config/interface/eth0/> set ipv4 address 192.168.2.200 prefix-length 24
admin@infix-12-34-56:/config/interface/eth0/> show
type ethernet;
ipv4 {
address 192.168.2.200 {
prefix-length 24;
}
}
ipv6
admin@infix-12-34-56:/config/interface/eth0/> diff
interfaces {
interface eth0 {
+ ipv4 {
+ address 192.168.2.200 {
+ prefix-length 24;
+ }
+ }
}
}
admin@infix-12-34-56:/config/interface/eth0/> leave
admin@infix-12-34-56:/> show interfaces
INTERFACE PROTOCOL STATE DATA
eth0 ethernet UP 52:54:00:12:34:56
ipv4 192.168.2.200/24 (static)
ipv6 fe80::5054:ff:fe12:3456/64 (link-layer)
lo ethernet UP 00:00:00:00:00:00
ipv4 127.0.0.1/8 (static)
ipv6 ::1/128 (static)
admin@infix-12-34-56:/> copy running-config startup-config
```

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](board/aarch64/README.md) 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](doc/virtual.md).
