XorPlus Configs for the Quanta
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 address on eth0 (The address used to access the machine via SSH):
XorPlus# set interface management-ethernet eth0 address 172.16.20.253/16
Configuring VLANs and the trunk port:
XorPlus# set vlans vlan-id 8 XorPlus# set interface gigabit-ethernet ge-1/1/47 family ethernet-switching port-mode trunk XorPlus# set interface gigabit-ethernet ge-1/1/47 family ethernet-switching native-vlan-id 1 XorPlus# set interface gigabit-ethernet ge-1/1/47 family ethernet-switching vlan members 8 XorPlus# set interface gigabit-ethernet ge-1/1/1 family ethernet-switching native-vlan-id 1 <<-----------for each interface ge-1/1/1-48
Allow telnet access:
XorPlus# set system services telnet connection-limit 7
save changes:
XorPlus# commit XorPlus# save running-to-startup
Commands.
- To power off the switch
XorPlus> request system power-off
- To get to the configuration prompt as enabled user -
configure - for a list of available options for a specific set of commands, type "?" or "help" at any point:
XorPlus# run ? Possible completions: clear Clear information in the system file Perform file operations ping Ping remote target request Make system-level requests set Set parameters of the system show Show system information ssh Connect to another host via SSH start Start shell syslog System logging telnet Connect to another host via telnet traceroute Trace route to remote host
- To execute non-config CLI commands from enabled mode, use
run <parameters>(choices are shown above) - Setting interface parameters - The GBe ports are named ge-1/1/n, n from 1 to 48. To configure them:
XorPlus# set interface gigabit-ethernet ge-1/1/4 family ethernet-switching <port mode, vlan id, ect. here>
Multiport configurations.
XorPlus doesn't seem to let you configure more than one port at a time. This is a pain (e.g. for setting the native vlans for all of the ethernet ports). A quick way to get to config many ports at a time is to echo commands into the serial device (/dev/ttyS0 or /dev/ttyUSB0 - what you used to connect to the switch). For example, to set the vlans for all the interfaces to 8:
At your terminal, as root:
# echo "set vlans vlan-id 8" >> /dev/ttyS0 # for i in `seq 1 48`; do echo "set interface gigabit-ethernet ge-1/1/$i family ethernet-switching native-vlan-id 8"; done >> /dev/ttyS0
Then, at the switch CLI:
XorPlus# set interface gigabit-ethernet ge-1/1/47 family ethernet-switching native-vlan-id 1 XorPlus# set interface gigabit-ethernet ge-1/1/47 family ethernet-switching vlan members 8 XorPlus# commit XorPlus# save running-to-startup
Two scripts were hacked together to make multi-port configurations a bit easier:
- A bash script for range port configurations over serial. It supports a very limited number of configuration schemes:
- VLAN creation
- port VLAN/type assignment and deleting configurations
- management interface configuration
- "help" or "?" for a list of commands
This script also has to be run as root, and assumes that your serial device is /dev/ttyUSB0. This should be modified accordingly. When run, the script gives you a mock-switch style CLI:
# ./swconf.sh > ? iface [eth0|eth1] [IP addr] - Configure management interface address. Address is in CIDR form (e.g 172.16.0.30/16) vlan [VLAN ID] - instantiate a VLAN interface of tag [VLAN ID] ports [min] [max] - Configure VLAN and mode of ports between [min] and [max] inclusive save - Commit changes to memory exit - exit script help - display this list (equivalent to '?') clear - clear the screen
> ports 2 7 (ports)# ? vlan [1..1020]: set native vlan for ports mode [access|trunk] delete: wipe out port settings range [min] [max]: configure new range of ports exit: exit from port context
- A similar script for configuring switches over the network (with its companion support library). The script assumes that you are on a machine that can access the network management VLAN.
~$ ./swconf.rb -h
Allows configuration of multiple ports on a Quanta running XorPlus.
Usage: ./swconf.rb [host] [port]
-d, --debug Enable verbose debugging mode (default: off)
-r, --dryrun Do a dry run (Do not actually send command - default: off)
-h, --help Display this list
~$ ./swconf.rb "s-sb" 10001
D, [2011-08-30T12:45:30.578119 #7325] DEBUG -- : host: s-sb port: 10001
> help
clear - clear the screen
delete - delete settings
exit - exit script
help - display this list
iface [eth0|eth1] [IP addr] - Configure management interface address. Address is in CIDR form (e.g 172.16.0.30/16)
ports [portrange] - Configure VLAN and mode of ports in a list of ports [portrange]
save - Commit changes to memory
vlan [VLAN ID] - instantiate a VLAN interface of tag [VLAN ID]
> ports 2..4,7
(ports)# help
vlan [1..1020]: set native vlan for ports
mode [access|trunk]
delete: wipe out port settings
range [portrange]: configure new range of ports
exit: exit from port context

SSH/Telnet login
Verbatim from FAQs (but not in the CLI users manual):
Q: What is default users and passwords? A: By default users root/admin/operator are enabled, "admin/operator" will log into CLI; "root" will log into system shell; all passwords are 'pica8' now. You should BETTER change the passwords if you use it in a production environment or on the Internet. You can use "# passwd some_user" command to change the password of some_user in system shell.
