As per the VOQ HLDs, internal networking between the linecards and supervisor is required within a chassis. Allocating 127.X/16 subnets for private communication within a chassis is a good candidate. It doesn't require any external IP allocation as well as ensure that the traffic will not leave the chassis. References: https://github.com/Azure/SONiC/pull/622 https://github.com/Azure/SONiC/pull/639 **- How I did it** Changed the `interfaces.j2` file to add `127.0.0.1/16` as the `lo` ip address. Then once the interface is up, the post-up command removes the `127.0.0.1/8` ip address. The order in which the netmask change is made matters for `127.0.0.1` to be reachable at all times. **- How to verify it** ``` root@sonic:~# ip address show dev lo 1: lo: <LOOPBACK,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 65536 qdisc noqueue state UNKNOWN group default qlen 1000 link/loopback 00:00:00:00:00:00 brd 00:00:00:00:00:00 inet 127.0.0.1/16 scope host lo valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever inet6 ::1/128 scope host valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever ``` Co-authored-by: Baptiste Covolato <baptiste@arista.com> |
