Anybody running Cumulus, OpenNetLinux, OpenSwitch, or other white box/SDN offering?
I just got a Dell S6000-on in my lab and am playing with OpenSwitch. It's quite exhilarating to be able to use ports as if they were Linux ethernet devices.
So far I've been able to connect a bunch of Mellanox connectX3 cards to it using cheap TwinAX and yellow Fibre, both with Mellanox transceivers. Configuring layer 2 is exactly the same as Linux, for example creating VLAN 10 is defined by creating a bridge and adding a link dev tagged with vlan 10 to it.
$ brctl addbr mybridge
$ ip link add link e101-001-0 name myeth type vlan id 10
$ brctl addif mybridge myeth
I'm curious about the other offerings.
