Why I did it
The default ethernet port naming style is
Ethernet0, Ethernet4...Ethernet(i*4)
which isn't compatible with EOS's styleEthernet1,Ethernet2...Etherent(i+1)
SONiC-mgmt usually use EOS as neighbor devices. To relieve the compatible issue on SONiC as neighbor devices, This PR introduces a new SKU SONiC VM.
How I did it
Create a new SKU with ethernet port naming style
Ethernet(i+1)
How to verify it
Run
sonic-cfggen -p /usr/share/sonic/device/x86_64-kvm_x86_64-r0/SONiC-VM/port_config.ini -k SONiC-VM --print-data
in SONiC VMYou should get the following output
