- Why I did it
Mellanox syncd container will be based on Debian iproute2 plus patches instead of Nvidia internal version of iproute2
- How I did it
Download iproute2 from Debian repository, apply patches and compile to create a new target.
The target is then deployed in syncd container of Mellanox switches only.
The new target is called IPROUTE2_MLNX.
- How to verify it
Compile and load on switch, verify interfaces network devices created successfully.
Verify LLDP shows connections to neighbors.
Verify ping between 2 hosts over 2 router ports is successful.
