Infix v23.09.0

Note: upcoming releases will lock the root user for system-only
services. Instead an admin user will be the only default user with
the CLI as its login shell. This user is already available, so please
consider updating any guidelines or documentation you may have.

YANG Status

• ietf-system:
  • infix-system: MotD (Message of the Day) augment
  • infix-system: user login shell augment, default: /bin/false
  • infix-system-software: system-state/software augment for
    remotely querying firmware version information
  • infix-system-software: firmware upgrade with install-bundle RPC
  • infix-system: timezone-name deviation, replaced with IANA timezones
  • infix-system: username deviation, clarifying Linux restrictions
  • infix-system: deviations for unsupported features, e.g. RADIUS
• ietf-interfaces:
  • infix-interfaces: deviation for if:phys-address to allow read-write
  • ietf-ip: augmented with IPv4LL similar to standardized IPv6LL
  • infix-ip: deviations (not-supported) added for IPv4 and IPv6:
    • /if:interfaces/if:interface/ip:ipv4/ip:address/ip:subnet/ip:netmask
    • /if:interfaces/if:interface/ip:ipv6/ip:address/ip:status
    • /if:interfaces/if:interface/ip:ipv4/ip:mtu
    • /if:interfaces/if:interface/ip:ipv6/ip:mtu
    • /if:interfaces/if:interface/ip:ipv4/ip:neighbor
    • /if:interfaces/if:interface/ip:ipv6/ip:neighbor
  • ietf-if-vlan-encapsulation: Linux VLAN interfaces, e.g. eth0.10
  • infix-if-bridge: Linux bridge interfaces with native VLAN support
  • infix-if-veth: Linux VETH pairs
  • infix-if-type: deviation for interface types, limiting number
    to supported types only. New identities are derived from default
    IANA interface types, ensuring compatibility with other standard
    models, e.g., ieee802-ethernet-interface.yang
• Configurable services:
  • ieee802-dot1ab-lldp: stripped down to an enabled setting
  • infix-services: support for enabling mDNS and SSDP discovery

Changes

• The following new NETCONF interface operational status have been added:
  • admin-status
  • IP address origin (dhcp, static, link-layer, random, other)
  • bridge
  • parent-interface
  • basic statistics (in_octets, out_octets)
• Support for custom interface phys-address (MAC address)
• The CLI admin-exec command show interfaces now fully uses NETCONF
  operational data to display both available interfaces and all of their
  IP addresses. Displaying an individual interface will show more info.
• The CLI admin-exec command password encrypt now default to SHA512

Fixes

• Fix #136: IPv6 autoconf create-global-addresses true does not bite
• Fix #138: Not possible to have static IP and DHCP at the same time
• Minor fixes and updates to documentation (faulty links, references)
• The sync-fork.yml workflow has finally been fixed.

Issues

Known issues with serious impact.

• Issue #151: Operational status broken
