- Why I did it
This work is part of the gearbox phy joint effort between Microsoft and Broadcom.
- How I did it
Overall feature was implemented across several projects. The collective pull requests (some in late stages of review at this point:
sonic-net/sonic-utilities#931 - CLI
sonic-net/sonic-swss-common#347 - Minor changes
sonic-net/sonic-swss#1321 - gearsyncd, config parsers, changes to orchargent to create gearbox phy on supported systems
sonic-net/sonic-sairedis#624 - physyncd, virtual BCM81724 gearbox phy added to vslib
- How to verify it
In a vslib build:
root@sonic:/home/admin# show gearbox interfaces status
PHY Id Interface MAC Lanes MAC Lane Speed PHY Lanes PHY Lane Speed Line Lanes Line Lane Speed Oper Admin
In addition, docker ps | grep phy should show a physyncd docker running.
