EOS SDK v2.0.0

Resources

• Online API Documentation
• EosSdk RPMs

Features

• Added EOS SDK support for multihop BFD. See bfd_session_type_t’s new BFD_SESSION_TYPE_MULTIHOP enum.
• New watch_policy_map(key, agent_name, interest) manager method in policy_map.h allows monitoring of policy maps configured by other agents, despite the EOS SDK module isolation changes explained below in Transitioning to EOS 4.20+ & EOS SDK 2.0.0.

Bugs fixes and improvements

• EOS SDK applications may no longer persist any of their configuration across switch reloads via persistent flags. Therefore, all persistent flags have been removed from EOS SDK modules/types.
• Deprecated MAC_ENTRY_EVPN_INTF enum in mac_table.h in favor of the more detailed:
  • MAC_ENTRY_EVPN_INTF_STATIC
  • MAC_ENTRY_EVPN_INTF_DYNAMIC
• Minor updates to examples.

Transitioning to EOS 4.20+ & EOS SDK 2.0.0

• The minimum version of EOS SDK that EOS 4.20+ supports is 2.0.0
• In order to be EOS SDK 2.0.0 compatible, every existing EOS SDK application needs to be recompiled, and additionally may require code changes before this recompilation.
• Compiling EOS SDK agents to run on 4.20+ requires a new cross-compiler available at software downloads. See Cross-Compiler section of the wiki for full compatibility matrix.
• The configuration/status of certain EOS SDK modules is now isolated. An EOS SDK agent using one of the isolated modules only sees its local configurations and only reacts to its local status. The following EOS SDK modules are isolated:
  • acl.h
  • class_map.h
  • decap_group.h
  • directflow.h
  • ip_intf.h
  • ip_route.h
  • lldp.h
  • mac_table.h
  • mpls_route.h
  • neighbor_table.h
  • nexthop_group.h
  • policy_map.h
