Features

• New macsec_capable() API to determine whether a given interface supports the MACsec feature.
• The MACsec module also has a new intf_counters(intf_id_t) API, which provides the current MACsec counters given an interface. This is returned in the form of a macsec_intf_counters_t class, which contains the following:
  • uint64_t out_pkts_encrypted_
  • uint64_t out_octets_encrypted_
  • uint64_t in_pkts_decrypted_
  • uint64_t in_octets_decrypted_
  • uint64_t in_pkts_not_valid_
• New ip_route_via_t attributes, each with getters and setters:
  • vni_, of type vni_t: a uint32_t used to represent the VXLAN Network Identifier (VNI) to use for an the underlay tunnel VXLAN header.
  • vtep_addr_, the IPv4 destination address for an underlay IP header
  • router_mac_, the destination MAC address for an underlay ethernet header

Bugfixes and Improvements

• New vni_t type in the ip_route module, used to represent a VXLAN Network Identifier (VNI).
• New BFD_SESSION_TYPE_LAGRFC7130 enum for a bfd_session_type_t.
• New LINK_SPEED_200GBPS and LINK_SPEED_400GBPS enums for a eth_link_speed_t.

EOS SDK v2.3.1

Resources

• Online API Documentation
• EosSdk RPMs

Features

• Configuration of MACsec profiles via the MACsec module is now isolated on a per-agent basis, and EosSdk agents can only modify their own MACsec profile configuration.

Bugfixes and Improvements

• Fix a bug in the PolicyRouter.py example concerning deprecated APIs.

EOS SDK v2.3.0

Resources

• Online API Documentation
• EosSdk RPMs

Features

• Configuration of ACL interfaces via the ACL module is now isolated on a per-agent basis, and EosSdk agents can only modify their own ACL interface configuration.

Bugfixes and Improvements

• The EosSdk-base RPM has been merged with the EosSdk RPM, and no longer exists.
• APIs in the interface counter manager now include support for LAG interface types.
• An updated mount_profile_eossdk_all template mount profile.
• New MPLS_ACTION_FORWARD enum for an mpls_action_t.
• An mpls_route_via_t now has a nexthop_group attribute, which should be set when forwarding into a nexthop-group.
• Update MaybePrintProfilesAndExit to support latest mount profile infrastructure changes.
• New FLOW_REJECTED_TIMEOUT_NOT_SUPPORTED enum for flow_rejected_reason_t in the directflow module, indicating that a flow was rejected due to unsupported timeout values.

EOS SDK v2.2.0

Resources

• Online API Documentation
• EosSdk RPMs

Features

• New MAC security macsec.h handlers to receive notifications for changes to MACsec interface statuses.
• New eAPI module for synchronous interaction with the CLI.

EOS SDK v2.1.0

Resources

• Online API Documentation
• EosSdk RPMs

Features

• New MAC security macsec.h module with a manager for setting configuration and retrieving status of MACsec interfaces and profiles.

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
