Instead of writing the CLI calls to stderr as INFO loglines, now add
them to a list of messages by prune/create/sync.
Always close the VPP connection after finishing, by adding a destructor
to the VPPApi class.
At the end of each phase, print out what was gathered to stdout. Later,
I will make this more advanced (output to file, output directly to a
pipe of a running vppctl binary, etc).
The handling of BVI is awkward, with the autoderived interface name
"bviXX" based on the bridgedomain bd_id. Lots of special casing happens
on account of this decision, and to make matters worse there is poor
interaction (leading to VPP crashes) when BVIs and Loopbacks are used
at the same time: https://lists.fd.io/g/vpp-dev/message/21116
This is step one of a refactor of the logic. In this commit, I'm
removing all of the BVI logic from the codebase, rendering bridgedomains
unable to have IP interfaces. In the next commit, I will introduce new
behavior in the schema, allowing for 'bvi' to be a loopback
interfacename which will be used as BVI for a bridgedomain, restoring
the ability to use bridgedomains with IP interfaces (using a loop).
Include special caveat on LCP MAC changes, for which I'll put in a
TODO for now with a VPP comment {} with the to be run command.
Also make the user aware of a quick in BondEthernets not being able
to have link_mtu != 9000 so if a packet MTU > 9000 is set, this will
work but is an undesirable configuration. Issue a warning in this
case.
After pruning elements from the VPP configuration, also remove them
from the configuration. The purpose of this is to leave a reasonable
representation of the VPP state in the configuration, so that subsequent
creates and syncs do not have to query the VPP API repeatedly.
The goal of this change is to be able to plan a complete path from
prune, create and sync, with only reading the initial VPP configuration
once, not multiple times.
- Add a get_sub_interfaces() call to fetch all DPDK / Bond sub-ints
- In prune_bvis(), prune_loopbacks() and prune_sub_interfaces(),
use sub_number_of_tags to go out-to-in (qinx, dot1x, untagged)
