[FRR] Switch to dplane_fpm_nl plugin instead of fpm (#12852) 
Why I did it
dplane_fpm_nl is a new FPM implementation in FRR. The old plugin fpm will not have any new features implemented. Usage of the new plugin gives us ability to use BGP suppression feature and next hop groups in the future.

How I did it
Switch to dplane_fpm_nl zebra plugin from old fpm plugin which is not supported anymore
Remove stale patches for old fpm plugin and add similar patches for dplane_fpm_nl

How to verify it
Build and run on the switch.

HOWTO Use Virtual Switch (VM)

  1. Install libvirt, kvm, qemu
sudo apt-get install libvirt-clients qemu-kvm libvirt-bin
  1. Create SONiC VM for single ASIC HWSKU
$ sudo virsh
Welcome to virsh, the virtualization interactive terminal.

Type:  'help' for help with commands
       'quit' to quit

virsh # 
virsh # create sonic.xml
Domain sonic created from sonic.xml

virsh #
  1. Create SONiC VM for multi-ASIC HWSKU
  • Based on the number of asics of hwsku, update device/x86_64-kvm_x86_64-r0/asic.conf
NUM_ASIC=<n>
DEV_ID_ASIC_0=0
DEV_ID_ASIC_1=1
DEV_ID_ASIC_2=2
DEV_ID_ASIC_3=3
..
DEV_ID_ASIC_<n-1>=<n-1>

For example, a four asic VS asic.conf will be:

NUM_ASIC=4
DEV_ID_ASIC_0=0
DEV_ID_ASIC_1=1
DEV_ID_ASIC_2=2
DEV_ID_ASIC_3=3

  • Create a topology.sh script which will create the internal asic topology for the specific hwsku. For example, for msft_multi_asic_vs: https://github.com/Azure/sonic-buildimage/blob/master/device/virtual/x86_64-kvm_x86_64-r0/msft_multi_asic_vs/topology.sh

  • With the updated asic.conf and topology.sh, build sonic-vs.img which can be used to bring up multi-asic virtual switch.

  • Update platform/vs/sonic_multiasic.xml with higher memory and vcpu as required.

    • For 4-asic vs platform msft_four_asic_vs hwsku, 8GB memory and 10vCPUs.
    • For 7-ASIC vs platform msft_multi_asic_vs hwsku, 8GB and 16vCPUs.

  • Update the number of front-panel interfaces in sonic_multliasic.xml

    • For 4-ASIC vs platform, 8 front panel interfaces.
    • For 6-ASIC vs platform, 64 front panel interfaces.

  • With multi-asic sonic_vs.img and sonic_multiasic.xml file, bring up multi-asic vs as:

$ sudo virsh
Welcome to virsh, the virtualization interactive terminal.

Type:  'help' for help with commands
       'quit' to quit

virsh #
virsh # create sonic_multiasic.xml 
Domain sonic created from sonic.xml

virsh #

  • Steps to convert a prebuilt single asic sonic-vs.img:

    • Use the updated sonic_multiasic.xml file and bring up virtual switch.
    • Update /usr/share/sonic/device/x86_64-kvm_x86_64-r0/asic.conf as above.
    • Add topology.sh in /usr/share/sonic/device/x86_64-kvm_x86_64-r0/
    • stop database service and remove database docker, so that when vs is rebooted, database_global.json is created with the right namespaces.
      • systemctl stop database
      • docker rm database
    • sudo reboot
    • Once rebooted, VS should be multi-asic VS.

  • Start topology service.

sudo systemctl start topology.
  • Load configuration using minigraph or config_dbs.

  1. Access virtual switch:

    1. Connect SONiC VM via console
    $ telnet 127.0.0.1 7000

    OR

    1. Connect SONiC VM via SSH

      1. Connect via console (see 3.1 above)

      2. Request a new DHCP address

      sudo dhclient -v
      1. Connect via SSH
      $ ssh -p 3040 admin@127.0.0.1
