Introduction
API
To facilitate multi fabric programming, the following new APIs are added for Boron release on top of APIs of Beryllium.
Layer 3 API
- LR.createLogicalPort(type=ExternalGateway,ip=xxx,gw=xxx,gwmac=xxx) - create a logical port on a logical router. it can be configured with external gateway function
- LR.addStaticRoute(dest=default, next_hop=LP1) - default static route
- LR.addStaticRoute(dest=xxx, interface=xxx) - general purpose static routing table manipulation
- LR.addStaticNatMapping(srcIp, destIP); - floating IP funciton support
Layer 2 API
- LSW.createLogicalPort(type=AccessPort)
common API
- LP.bindingInterface(port_location) - bind logical port LP to a phyiscal port on a fabric
- Fabric.allocGlobalTag - allocated a global tag for l2 segment
