This patch is required urgently for Cambridge. It is unlikely that we can wait for the upstream patch to merge: https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/networking-generic-switch/+/965373 This driver uses the `sonic-cli` rather than Linux userspace to configure the switch. This is because LLDP advertises switch ports based on the naming from the `sonic-cli`, which is not the same as Linux userspace. Note the existing Dell SONiC driver is using the Linux namespace netmiko driver, which is not suitable.

Is there a reason it doesn't support trunk? |
Good questions. They don't want to configure trunk ports, they would just turn off that feature. I could add it if we have these switches somewhere else. I was hoping to backport the upstream patch if I can get it merged, but this could also go to 2025.1 first if you'd prefer. |
Ok then - let's try to update the upstream patch with trunk (since trunking is normally supported since 2025.1) - and merge this one in 2024.1. If you need any help in adding the trunk commands or gaining traction from the Ironic community - please let me know :-) |
