# About this Manual
This document provides details on Port Channel enhancements in SONiC.

# Scope
This document describes the high level design of Port Channel enhancements in SONiC.

# Definition/Abbreviation

| LACP | Link Aggregation Control Protocol |
| MCLAG | Multi-Chassis Link Aggregation Group |

# 1 Feature Overview
## 1.1 Requirements
### 1.1.1 Functional Requirements
1. Port Channel graceful shutdown mode
- Upon enabling PortChannel graceful shutdown mode, all the portchannels in the system should be operationally down and stop traffic transmission and reception.

### 1.1.2 Configuration and Management Requirements
Provide configuration to enable/disable Port Channel graceful shutdown mode with the KLISH and click CLI.

### 1.1.3 Scalability Requirements
All the supported portchannels in the device should enable/disable graceful shutdown mode upon user trigger.

### 1.1.4 Warm Boot Requirements
The portchannels should continue to be operationally down when warm boot is triggered by the user in the Port Channel graceful shutdown mode.

## 1.2 Design Overview
### 1.2.1 Basic Approach
When the Port Channel graceful shutdown mode is enabled/disabled, team manager will consume the user configuration from Config DB and notify teamd process of individual portchannel to start/stop its operation.

### 1.2.2 Container
An instance of Teamd process is created when a Port Channel (Static or Dynamic) is created. Teamd process runs as part of the Teamd docker. When the Port Channel graceful shutdown mode is enabled, each teamd process receives a signal to stop the LACP state machine.

### 1.2.3 SAI Overview
There are no changes to SAI headers/implementation to support this feature.

# 2 Functionality
## 2.1 Target Deployment Use Cases
In MCLAG topologies, one of the two MCLAG nodes is put into graceful shutdown mode in order to upgrade the firmware or resolve any issues observed on that device. The MCLAG node that enters the graceful shutdown mode stops all the traffic reception and transmission.

## 2.2 Functional Description
In MCLAG topologies, the Port Channel graceful shutdown mode allows users to upgrade the switch software by forwarding the data through the peer MCLAG switch. The goal is to maintain the data connectivity while the software is being upgraded on one of the MCLAG nodes. In order to achieve this, all the portchannels in that MCLAG node are brought down operationally when the device enters the Port Channel graceful shutdown mode.
In the Port Channel graceful shutdown mode

- any newly created portchannel will be operationally down
- existing portchannel memberships(of the ports) can be changed by the user
- existing portchannels can be deleted by the user

The Port Channel graceful shutdown mode cannot be enabled/disabled for individual portchannels; it applies to all the portchannels present in the system.

# 3 Design

## 3.1 Overview
On SONiC device, when user wants to upgrade the firmware or resolve any issue on that device, all the portchannels on the switch that are operationally up are brought down. In order to achieve this, when user triggers the Port Channel graceful shutdown mode:

- the member ports of all the portchannel transmit an LACPDU (per port) by resetting the SYNCHRONIZATION, COLLECTING and DISTRIBUTING flags. Upon receiving the LACPDU, the partner LAG device will stop reception and trasmission of the traffic on the ports connected towards the device that is entering Port Channel graceful shutdown mode
- the member ports of the portchannels on the device stop the running the LACP state machine
- since the LACP state machine for all the member ports is stopped, the portchannels that are operationally up become down
- LACPDUs received on the member ports of the portchannels are silently discarded
- If user triggers a config save followed with a reload (config-reload or cold-reboot) - after reload, the device will come up with all the configured portchannels in graceful shutdown mode. The portchannels will be operationally down.

Upon exiting the Port Channel graceful shutdown mode:
- LACP state machine is started afresh for all the portchannel member ports that are link up
- LACPDUs are transmitted and received on the all the portchannel member ports that are link up
- Portchannels will be operationally up if the LACP convergence succeeds

### 3.1.1 Teamd configuration
The user will be able to enable/disable the Port Channel graceful shutdown mode.

Note: Port Channel graceful shutdown mode is disabled by default.

### 3.1.2 Team Manager
Team Manager listens to the enable/disable modes of the Port Channel graceful shutdown mode.

## 3.2 DB Changes
### 3.2.1 CONFIG DB
A new table PORTCHANNEL_GLOBAL is introduced. In the PORTCHANNEL_GLOBAL table:
- the "graceful_shutdown_mode" field is set to "enable" if user enables the Port Channel graceful shutdown mode
- the "graceful_shutdown_mode" field is set to "disable" if user disables the Port Channel graceful shutdown mode

### 3.2.2 APP DB
No new tables are needed.

### 3.2.3 STATE DB
No new tables are needed.

### 3.2.4 ASIC DB
No new tables are needed.

### 3.2.5 COUNTER DB
No new tables are needed.

## 3.3 Switch State Service Design
### 3.3.1 Orchestration Agent
No changes are needed.

### 3.3.2 Other Process
No changes are needed.

## 3.4 SyncD
No changes are needed.

## 3.5 SAI
No changes are needed.

## 3.6 CLI

### 3.6.1 IS-CLI Compliance
Not applicable.

### 3.6.2 Data Models

### 3.6.3 Configuration Commands

Click CLI

Enable/disable the Port Channel graceful shutdown mode.
```
root@sonic:/home/admin# config portchannel graceful-shutdown <enable/disable>
```

KLISH CLI

Enable PortChannel graceful shutdown mode:
```
sonic(config)# portchannel graceful-shutdown
```

Disable PortChannel graceful shutdown mode:
```
sonic(config)# no portchannel graceful-shutdown
```

### 3.6.4 Show Commands
KLISH CLI

The output of show interface portchannel is modified to display:
1. Portchannel graceful shutdown mode
2. LACP Fallback operational status, if fallback is enabled.

Graceful shutdown is disabled. Fallback config is enabled; it is non-operational.
```
sonic# show interface PortChannel

- Verify that all the portchannels in the system are Down in kernel, APPL_DB.
- Verify that all the trunks in the hardware have no member ports.
- Verify that member ports can be added/removed when the Port Channel graceful shutdown mode is enabled.
- Verify that existing portchannels can be deleted and new portchannels can be created when Port Channel graceful shutdown mode is enabled.
- With Port Channel graceful shutdown enabled, verify that portchannels continue to be operationally DOWN after config save and reload.


2. Disable Port Channel graceful shutdown mode.
- Verify that "graceful_shutdown_mode" entry is set to "disable" in the PORTCHANNEL_GLOBAL table in CONFIG_DB.
- Verify that all the portchannels in the system start LACP state machine are programmed in kernel, APPL_DB if LACP convergence succeeds.
- Verify that all the trunks in the hardware are programmed with member ports if LACP convergence succeeds.
