Eariler the SDK stat polling was erroneously set to once every msec
which is far more frequent than required by SWSS. The new setting, which
is consistent with other vendor SKUs, is once a second. The net result
is reduced CPU MHz by syncd.
Why I did it
On DNX (J2/J2c/J2c+) platforms, Single Path Nexthops and ECMp Nexthop resources(FECs) are shared. BRCM SAI do not have partition of this resource, and hence more single path Nexthop entries, causes ECMP programming to fail in scaled setup.
How I did it
Broadcom provided SAI changes to reserve resources for single path nexthop entries(More details in CSP: https://brcmsemiconductor-csm.wolkenservicedesk.com/wolken-support/allcases/request-details?requestId=CS00012251649).
Along with SAI changes, they provided configurable Macro/flag to reserve NON_ECMP entries.
This PR is to add that flag in various sai.profile files wherever applicable.
PS: We are reserving 3072 single path Nexthop entries on each Linecard. Calculation is as follows.
Max Slots per chassis: 8
Max No of Ports(each LC): 64
MyIP/Subnet Entries per port: 4(v4/v6)
Nbr Entries Per port: 2(v4/v6)
Total Non_ECMP Count: 8x64x(4+2) = 3072
How to verify it
Without this change, the ECMP group count will be shown as Max_count in 'crm show resources all' command, and with this change the ECMP group count will be decreased by 24(3072/128).
Port indexes of front panel ports are not contiguous in multi-asic because we didn't distiguish between
front panel and internal ports, e.g., recycle ports. Fix this by assigning index to front panel port first
and then internal ports.
For 7800 LCs, set LAG mode to support 1024 number of 16-member system
LAGs.
Why I did it
The SOC property changes are necessary to match #10519 which increases the number of system LAG IDs to 1024.
Description for the changelog
For 7800 LCs, set LAG mode to support 1024 number of 16-member system
LAGs.
Update the bcm config file system_ref_core_clock_khz param to handlesystems with J2cplus linecards.
We need system_ref_core_clock_khz to be set to 1600000 for supporting j2 and j2cplus linecards on the same chassis.
