-# Introduction
-This document lists the configuration commands schema applied in the SONiC eco system. All these commands find relevance in collecting system information, analysis and even for trouble shooting. All the commands are categorized under relevant topics with corresponding examples.
-
-# Configuration
-
-SONiC is managing configuration in a single source of truth - a redisDB
-instance that we refer as ConfigDB. Applications subscribe to ConfigDB
-and generate their running configuration correspondingly.
-
-(Before Sep 2017, we were using an XML file named minigraph.xml to
-configure SONiC devices. For historical documentation, please refer to
-[Configuration with
-Minigraph](https://github.com/Azure/SONiC/wiki/Configuration-with-Minigraph-(~Sep-2017)))
-
-# **Config Load and Save**
-
-In current version of SONiC, ConfigDB is implemented as database 4 of
-local redis. When system boots, configurations will be loaded from
-/etc/sonic/config_db.json file into redis. Please note that ConfigDB
-content won't be written back into /etc/sonic/config_db.json file
-automatically. In order to do that, a config save command need to be
-manually executed from CLI. Similarly, config load will trigger a force
-load of json file into DB. Generally, content in
-/etc/sonic/config_db.json can be considered as starting config, and
-content in redisDB running config.
-
-We keep a way to load configuration from minigraph and write into
-ConfigDB for backward compatibility. To do that, run `config
-load_minigraph`.
-
-### Incremental Configuration
-
-The design of ConfigDB supports incremental configuration - application
-could subscribe to changes in ConfigDB and response correspondingly.
-However, this feature is not implemented by all applications yet. By Sep
-2017 now, the only application that supports incremental configuration
-is BGP (docker-fpm-quagga). For other applications, a manual restart is
-required after configuration changes in ConfigDB.
-
-# **Redis and Json Schema**
-
-ConfigDB uses a table-object schema that is similar with
-[AppDB](https://github.com/Azure/sonic-swss/blob/4c56d23b9ff4940bdf576cf7c9e5aa77adcbbdcc/doc/swss-schema.md),
-and `config_db.json` is a straight-forward serialization of DB. As an
-example, the following fragments could be BGP-related configuration in
-redis and json, correspondingly:
-
-
-***Redis format***
-```
-127.0.0.1:6379[4]> keys BGP_NEIGHBOR:*

-### ACL and Mirroring
-
-ACL and mirroring related configuration are defined in
-**MIRROR_SESSION**, **ACL_TABLE** and **ACL_RULE** tables. Those
-tables are in progress of migrating from APPDB. Please refer to their
-schema in APPDB
-[here](https://github.com/Azure/sonic-swss/blob/4c56d23b9ff4940bdf576cf7c9e5aa77adcbbdcc/doc/swss-schema.md)

-### BGP Sessions
-
-BGP session configuration is defined in **BGP_NEIGHBOR** table. BGP
-neighbor address is used as key of bgp neighbor objects. Object
-attributes include remote AS number, neighbor router name, and local
-peering address. Dynamic neighbor is also supported by defining peer
-group name and IP ranges in **BGP_PEER_RANGE** table.
-
-```

- "10.0.0.61": {
- "local_addr": "10.0.0.60",

- ]
- }

-}
-```
-
-### BUFFER_PG
-
-When the system is running in traditional buffer model, profiles needs to explicitly configured:
-
-```
-{
-"BUFFER_PG": {
- "Ethernet0|3-4": {
- "profile": "pg_lossless_40000_5m_profile"
- },
- "Ethernet1|3-4": {
- "profile": "pg_lossless_40000_5m_profile"
- },
- "Ethernet2|3-4": {
- "profile": "pg_lossless_40000_5m_profile"
- }
- }
-}
-
-```
-
-When the system is running in dynamic buffer model, profiles can be:
-
- - either calculated dynamically according to ports' configuration and just configured as "NULL";
- - or configured explicitly.
-
-```
-{
-"BUFFER_PG": {
- "Ethernet0|3-4": {
- "profile": "NULL"
- },
- "Ethernet1|3-4": {
- "profile": "NULL"
- },
- "Ethernet2|3-4": {
- "profile": "static_profile"
- }
- }
-}
-
-```
-
-### Buffer pool
-
-When the system is running in traditional buffer model, the size of all of the buffer pools and xoff of ingress_lossless_pool need to be configured explicitly.
-
-```
-{
-"BUFFER_POOL": {
- "egress_lossless_pool": {
- "type": "egress",
- "mode": "static",
- "size": "15982720"
- },
- "egress_lossy_pool": {
- "type": "egress",
- "mode": "dynamic",
- "size": "9243812"
- },
- "ingress_lossless_pool": {
- "xoff": "4194112",
- "type": "ingress",
- "mode": "dynamic",
- "size": "10875072"
- }
- }
-}
-
-```
-
-When the system is running in dynamic buffer model, the size of some of the buffer pools can be omitted and will be dynamically calculated.
-
-```
-{
-"BUFFER_POOL": {
- "egress_lossless_pool": {
- "type": "egress",
- "mode": "static",
- "size": "15982720"
- },
- "egress_lossy_pool": {
- "type": "egress",
- "mode": "dynamic",
- },
- "ingress_lossless_pool": {
- "type": "ingress",
- "mode": "dynamic",
- }
- }
-}
-
-```
-
-
-### Buffer profile
-
-```
-{
-"BUFFER_PROFILE": {
- "egress_lossless_profile": {
- "static_th": "3995680",
- "pool": "egress_lossless_pool",
- "size": "1518"
- },
- "egress_lossy_profile": {
- "dynamic_th": "3",
- "pool": "egress_lossy_pool",
- "size": "1518"
- },
- "ingress_lossy_profile": {
- "dynamic_th": "3",
- "pool": "ingress_lossless_pool",
- "size": "0"
- },
- "pg_lossless_40000_5m_profile": {
- "xon_offset": "2288",
- "dynamic_th": "-3",
- "xon": "2288",
- "xoff": "66560",
- "pool": "ingress_lossless_pool",
- "size": "1248"
- },
- "pg_lossless_40000_40m_profile": {

- "xoff": "71552",
- "pool": "ingress_lossless_pool",
- "size": "1248"
- }
- }
-}
-
-```
-
-When the system is running in dynamic buffer model and the headroom_type is dynamic, only dynamic_th needs to be configured and rest of fields can be omitted.
-This kind of profiles will be handled by buffer manager and won't be applied to SAI.
-
-```

-
-IP configuration for data plane are defined in **INTERFACE**,

-IP prefix as second-level key. IP interface objects don't have any
-attributes.

-### L2 Neighbors
-
-The L2 neighbor and connection information can be configured in
-**DEVICE_NEIGHBOR** table. Those information are used mainly for LLDP.
-While mandatory fields include neighbor name acting as object key and
-remote port / local port information in attributes, optional information
-about neighbor device such as device type, hwsku, management address and
-loopback address can also be defined.
-
-```

-### Loopback Interface
-
-Loopback interface configuration lies in **LOOPBACK_INTERFACE** table
-and has similar schema with data plane interfaces. The loopback device
-name and loopback IP prefix act as multi-level key for loopback
-interface objects.
-
-```

-### Management Interface
-
-Management interfaces are defined in **MGMT_INTERFACE** table. Object
-key is composed of management interface name and IP prefix. Attribute
-***gwaddr*** specify the gateway address of the prefix.

-prefixes traffic to which are forced to go through management network
-instead of data network.

-### NTP Global Configuration
-
-These configuration options are used to modify the way that
-ntp binds to the ports on the switch and which port it uses to
-make ntp update requests from.
-
-***NTP VRF***
-
-If this option is set to `default` then ntp will run within the default vrf
-**when the management vrf is enabled**. If the mgmt vrf is enabled and this value is
-not set to default then ntp will run within the mgmt vrf.
-
-This option **has no effect** if the mgmt vrf is not enabled.
-
-```
-{
-"NTP": {
- "global": {
- "vrf": "default"
- }
- }
-}
-```
-
-
-***NTP Source Port***
-
-This option sets the port which ntp will choose to send time update requests from by.
-
-NOTE: If a Loopback interface is defined on the switch ntp will choose this by default, so this setting
-is **required** if the switch has a Loopback interface and the ntp peer does not have defined routes
-for that address.

-
-The virtual router table allows to insert or update a new virtual router

-- 'v4' contains boolean value 'true' or 'false'. Enable or
- disable IPv4 in the virtual router
-- 'v6' contains boolean value 'true' or 'false'. Enable or
- disable IPv6 in the virtual router

- used for packets egressing from the virtual router
-- 'ttl_action' contains packet action. Defines the action for
- packets with TTL == 0 or TTL == 1
-- 'ip_opt_action' contains packet action. Defines the action for
- packets with IP options
-- 'l3_mc_action' contains packet action. Defines the action for
- unknown L3 multicast packets
-
-The packet action could be:
-
-- 'drop'
