Broadcom RoboSwitch Ethernet switch driver
|
||
|
|
==========================================
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The Broadcom RoboSwitch Ethernet switch family is used in quite a range of
|
||
|
|
xDSL router, cable modems and other multimedia devices.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The actual implementation supports the devices BCM5325E, BCM5365, BCM539x,
|
||
|
|
BCM53115 and BCM53125 as well as BCM63XX.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Implementation details
|
||
|
|
======================
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The driver is located in ``drivers/net/dsa/b53/`` and is implemented as a
|
||
|
|
DSA driver; see ``Documentation/networking/dsa/dsa.rst`` for details on the
|
||
|
|
subsystem and what it provides.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The switch is, if possible, configured to enable a Broadcom specific 4-bytes
|
||
|
|
switch tag which gets inserted by the switch for every packet forwarded to the
|
||
|
|
CPU interface, conversely, the CPU network interface should insert a similar
|
||
|
|
tag for packets entering the CPU port. The tag format is described in
|
||
|
|
``net/dsa/tag_brcm.c``.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The configuration of the device depends on whether or not tagging is
|
||
|
|
supported.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The interface names and example network configuration are used according the
|
||
|
|
configuration described in the :ref:`dsa-config-showcases`.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Configuration with tagging support
|
||
|
|
----------------------------------
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The tagging based configuration is desired. It is not specific to the b53
|
||
|
|
DSA driver and will work like all DSA drivers which supports tagging.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
See :ref:`dsa-tagged-configuration`.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Configuration without tagging support
|
||
|
|
-------------------------------------
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Older models (5325, 5365) support a different tag format that is not supported
|
||
|
|
yet. 539x and 531x5 require managed mode and some special handling, which is
|
||
|
|
also not yet supported. The tagging support is disabled in these cases and the
|
||
|
|
switch need a different configuration.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The configuration slightly differ from the :ref:`dsa-vlan-configuration`.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The b53 tags the CPU port in all VLANs, since otherwise any PVID untagged
|
||
|
|
VLAN programming would basically change the CPU port's default PVID and make
|
||
|
|
it untagged, undesirable.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
In difference to the configuration described in :ref:`dsa-vlan-configuration`
|
||
|
|
the default VLAN 1 has to be removed from the slave interface configuration in
|
||
|
|
single port and gateway configuration, while there is no need to add an extra
|
||
|
|
VLAN configuration in the bridge showcase.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
single port
|
||
|
|
~~~~~~~~~~~
|
||
|
|
The configuration can only be set up via VLAN tagging and bridge setup.
|
||
|
|
By default packages are tagged with vid 1:
