Community SONiC	NVIDIA, Broadcom	SN2010, SN4700, SN 2700, SN2100, SN3700, DellEMC-S5212f-P-25G

Cumulus support limited to available Open Config models, is considered by ONES as Agent-less

Agent-based vs Agent-less

SONiC-based switches require ONES Agents (Agent-based) to be installed on the switch being monitored, as a pre-requisite for ONES Telemetry and Orchestrator based functions to work.

• ONES Telemetry Agent

• ONES Orchestrator Agent

Proprietary NOS like Arista EOS, Cumulus, and Cisco NX-OS does not require an ONES Agent and instead leverage OpenConfig (Agent-less) feature. OpenConfig extends APIs that provide Network Telemetry information about the resources being monitored via gNMI (gRPC Network Management Interface) protocol to the ONES Application

ONES does not support Orchestrator-based functions on Proprietary NOS (non-SONiC).

Agent requirements

• SSH access

• SONiC version beyond 202012 or 202111 are supported

• Only x86 intel-based architectures are supported
