Description

Upon changing the Cable length for an interface in config db, buffer_profile is not dynamically created and applied to the interface

Steps to reproduce the issue:

  1. change cable length for an interface in config db
  2. create and apply buffer profiles
  3. Check whether the buffer_profiles got changed for the particular port

Describe the results you received:

  1. Initial Config :
  • Interface : Ethernet1 connected to Spine router
  • Localhost : Leafrouter
  • Speed : 10000
  • Cable length : 300m
  • Buffer profile : pg_lossless_10000_300m_profile
127.0.0.1:6379[4]> hget DEVICE_METADATA|localhost type
"LeafRouter"

127.0.0.1:6379[4]> hget PORT|Ethernet1 "speed"
"10000"
127.0.0.1:6379[4]> hgetall "DEVICE_NEIGHBOR|Ethernet1"
1) "name"
2) "ARISTA02T2"
3) "port"
4) "Ethernet1"
127.0.0.1:6379[4]> hget "DEVICE_NEIGHBOR_METADATA|ARISTA02T2" type
"SpineRouter"
127.0.0.1:6379[4]>   hget  "CABLE_LENGTH|AZURE" Ethernet1
"300m"
127.0.0.1:6379[4]>  hgetall  "BUFFER_PG|Ethernet1|3-4"
1) "profile"
2) "[BUFFER_PROFILE|pg_lossless_10000_300m_profile]"

  1. Change the neighbor , create buffer.json file and apply
  • Now Ethernet1 is conneced to Tor Router
  • create Buffer templates and apply to db
  • Check Cable _length and buffer profiles. Here the cable length is changed in db t0 40m , but the Buffer_profile is not selected accordingly. it still holds pg_lossless_10000_300m_profile
127.0.0.1:6379[4]> hget "DEVICE_NEIGHBOR_METADATA|ARISTA02T0" type
"ToRRouter"

127.0.0.1:6379[4]>  hset "DEVICE_NEIGHBOR|Ethernet1" "name" "ARISTA02T0"
(integer) 0

 sonic-cfggen -d   -t /usr/share/sonic/device/x86_64-dell_s6100_c2538-r0/Force10-S6100/buffers.json.j2 >/tmp/buffers.json
 sonic-cfggen -j /tmp/buffers.json --write-to-db
 
127.0.0.1:6379[4]>   hget  "CABLE_LENGTH|AZURE" Ethernet1
"40m"
127.0.0.1:6379[4]>  hgetall  "BUFFER_PG|Ethernet1|3-4"
1) "profile"
2) "[BUFFER_PROFILE|pg_lossless_10000_300m_profile]"


  1. When there is change in speed , then using new cable length and speed , the buffer profile gets created . Now 40g_40m profile gets selected

127.0.0.1:6379[4]>  hgetall  "PORT|Ethernet1"
1) "speed"
2) "10000"
127.0.0.1:6379[4]> hset "PORT|Ethernet1" "speed" 40000
(integer) 0
127.0.0.1:6379[4]>  hget  "CABLE_LENGTH|AZURE" Ethernet1
"40m"
127.0.0.1:6379[4]>  hgetall  "BUFFER_PG|Ethernet1|3-4"
1) "profile"
2) "[BUFFER_PROFILE|pg_lossless_40000_40m_profile]"
127.0.0.1:6379[4]>

Describe the results you expected:

When there is change in cable length , the buffer_profile should change accordingly , even though speed is not changed
