XORP Configs for the Quanta

The switch pointed to boot from the cf card will start up with XORP 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 XORP 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:

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-1/1/4XorPlus> request system power-off 7 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

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

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

for i in `seq 1 48`
do 
	echo "set interface gigabit-ethernet ge-1/1/$i family ethernet-switching native-vlan-id 8"
	sleep 1
done >> $SERIAL

echo "set interface gigabit-ethernet ge-1/1/47 family ethernet-switching port-mode trunk" >> $SERIAL
echo "set interface gigabit-ethernet ge-1/1/47 family ethernet-switching native-vlan-id 1" >> $SERIAL
echo "set interface gigabit-ethernet ge-1/1/47 family ethernet-switching vlan members 8" >> $SERIAL
echo "commit" >> $SERIAL
sleep 8
echo "save running-to-startup" >> $SERIAL
echo "exit" >> $SERIAL
echo "configs complete..."

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.

another similar script has been clobbered together to use the telnet server attached to the switches. The script, sw_telnet.sh, takes a port number and management IP address as its arguments:

./sw_telnet.sh $PORT $IP_ADDR

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.
