Internal/OpenFlow/XORP

 The switch pointed to boot from the cf card will start up with !XorPlus as its default firmware. If the switch is already flashed with the !OpenFlow image, just go back into u-boot and point the boot command to the cfcard boot parameters. The following commands set the !XorPlus switch up as a regular switch in the Grid's data VLAN (8), with a trunk port on ge-1/1/47 (lower rightmost port) living on native VLAN 1 and a telnet-accessible management interface. 
 
-Set management IP addresson eth0:

-The "multiport" config routine has been made into a (messy) script:
-{{{
-#!/bin/sh
 
-echo IP addr '('x.x.x.x/mask')'
-read IP_ADDR
-echo Serial '('e.g. /dev/ttyS0')'
-read SERIAL
+Two scripts were hacked together to make multi-port configurations a bit easier:
 
-echo "configure" >> $SERIAL
-sleep 1
-echo "set interface management-ethernet eth0 address $IP_ADDR" >> $SERIAL    
-sleep 1
-echo "set vlans vlan-id 8" >> $SERIAL
-echo "set system services telnet connection-limit 7" >> $SERIAL
+1. A bash script for range port configurations over serial. It supports a very limited number of configuration schemes:
+ * VLAN creation
+ * port VLAN/type assignment and deleting configurations 
+ * management interface configuration 
+ * "help" or "?" for a list of commands

-To use it, run as root, specifying the IP address you want the switch to be set to and the serial interface to the switch.

-A more usable script for range port configurations can be found attached to this page. It supports a very limited number of configuration schemes in a mock-IP8800-like CLI:

-This script also has to be run as root. 
+This script also has to be run as root, and assumes that your serial device is /dev/ttyUSB0. This should be modified accordingly. When run, the script gives you a mock-switch style CLI:
