The old assumption was that only virtual links would have specific "linkinfo" data. However, somewhere between 5.19 and 6.1, DSA ports gained the ability to report its "conduit" interface via the "linkinfo" attribute. That's great, but unfortunately it broke our heuristic assumptions. The new assumption is that only physical ports will report a "parentbus" attribute. Let's see how long that will last :)
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 .
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.
