SPDX-License-Identifier: GPL-2.0 + +========================================== +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: + +.. code-block:: sh + + # tag traffic on CPU port + ip link add link eth0 name eth0.1 type vlan id 1 + ip link add link eth0 name eth0.2 type vlan id 2 + ip link add link eth0 name eth0.3 type vlan id 3 + + # The master interface needs to be brought up before the slave ports. + ip link set eth0 up + ip link set eth0.1 up + ip link set eth0.2 up + ip link set eth0.3 up + + # bring up the slave interfaces + ip link set wan up + ip link set lan1 up + ip link set lan2 up + + # create bridge + ip link add name br0 type bridge + + # activate VLAN filtering + ip link set dev br0 type bridge vlan_filtering 1 + + # add ports to bridges + ip link set dev wan master br0 + ip link set dev lan1 master br0 + ip link set dev lan2 master br0 + + # tag traffic on ports + bridge vlan add dev lan1 vid 2 pvid untagged + bridge vlan del dev lan1 vid 1 + bridge vlan add dev lan2 vid 3 pvid untagged + bridge vlan del dev lan2 vid 1 + + # configure the VLANs + ip addr add 192.0.2.1/30 dev eth0.1 + ip addr add 192.0.2.5/30 dev eth0.2 + ip addr add 192.0.2.9/30 dev eth0.3 + + # bring up the bridge devices + ip link set br0 up + + +bridge +~~~~~~ + +.. code-block:: sh + + # tag traffic on CPU port + ip link add link eth0 name eth0.1 type vlan id 1 + + # The master interface needs to be brought up before the slave ports. + ip link set eth0 up + ip link set eth0.1 up + + # bring up the slave interfaces + ip link set wan up + ip link set lan1 up + ip link set lan2 up + + # create bridge + ip link add name br0 type bridge + + # activate VLAN filtering + ip link set dev br0 type bridge vlan_filtering 1 + + # add ports to bridge + ip link set dev wan master br0 + ip link set dev lan1 master br0 + ip link set dev lan2 master br0 + ip link set eth0.1 master br0 + + # configure the bridge + ip addr add 192.0.2.129/25 dev br0 + + # bring up the bridge + ip link set dev br0 up + +gateway +~~~~~~~ + +.. code-block:: sh + + # tag traffic on CPU port + ip link add link eth0 name eth0.1 type vlan id 1 + ip link add link eth0 name eth0.2 type vlan id 2 + + # The master interface needs to be brought up before the slave ports. + ip link set eth0 up + ip link set eth0.1 up + ip link set eth0.2 up + + # bring up the slave interfaces + ip link set wan up + ip link set lan1 up + ip link set lan2 up + + # create bridge + ip link add name br0 type bridge + + # activate VLAN filtering + ip link set dev br0 type bridge vlan_filtering 1 + + # add ports to bridges + ip link set dev wan master br0 + ip link set eth0.1 master br0 + ip link set dev lan1 master br0 + ip link set dev lan2 master br0 + + # tag traffic on ports + bridge vlan add dev wan vid 2 pvid untagged + bridge vlan del dev wan vid 1 + + # configure the VLANs + ip addr add 192.0.2.1/30 dev eth0.2 + ip addr add 192.0.2.129/25 dev br0 + + # bring up the bridge devices + ip link set br0 up diff --git a/Documentation/networking/dsa/index.rst b/Documentation/networking/dsa/index.rst index c279cfbf9083..ee631e2d646f 100644 --- a/Documentation/networking/dsa/index.rst +++ b/Documentation/networking/dsa/index.rst @@ -6,6 +6,7 @@ Distributed Switch Architecture :maxdepth: 1 dsa + b53 bcm_sf2 lan9303 sja1105 -- cgit v1.2.3-55-g7522
