One of the most exciting features added to OPBNOS is the modification of the "show running-config" command to access data by relying on a single, centralized database instead of using local databases for each SSH session with the switch to enable real-time viewing of changes made in one session by another session.
To response to the challenges associated with multiple local databases for each ISCLI session, we have introduced the 'unified show running-feature.' Since all existing configurations are already pushed in the Redis DB, the Running Config DB can be retrieved directly from the Redis DB. This ensures that all ISLCI sessions maintain a consistent view of the current configurations.
In the picture below, three distinct ISCLI processes are engaged with three separate local databases. As a result, configurations made within one process remain isolated and are not accessible or visible to the other concurrent processes.
To manage and configure the OPB switch using a graphical user interface (GUI), enable FlowVision support on the device.
FlowVision utilizes TCP port 443 for its Web-GUI.

A Network port can be converted to a tool port by following the steps below,
Remove the Network port from the flow
Assuming that we want to remove port "Ethernet 63/1" from the flow, The network ports can be reconfigured as below
2. Change the mode of the port to VLAN-aware
This step is only required if the port was configured as VLAN-unware when it was initially configured as a network port.
3. Change the interface type to 'tool'
The 'type' command under the interface works like a description for the user about the port type
4. Add the port to Port-Channel, if required
Adding the port to the Port-Channel
If the port channel is already part of a flow, then the flow has to be deleted and reconfigured with the new Port-Channel
Create the flow and add ports
Add rules to filter traffic
5. Adding the port the tool port
The new port can be added to the existing list if it's not part of the Port-Channel
If an Electrical SFP fails to transfer link status to the switch side, configuring an-clause cl37 and enabling autoneg can resolve this issue. An example is configuring this feature to support the FINISAR SFP FTLX1471D3BCL on Edge-Core AS5812.
To set up a port for supporting a 1G Electrical SFP, follow the steps outlined below:
This feature is only supported on Broadcom platforms
Configure speed on the port
Configure the an-clause to support 1G Electrical pluggable
configure auto-neg on the port
Note that if any changes on autoneg is made to the port, you must follow these exact steps in order:
