White Box Switch Interoperability Testing - Edgecore SONiC x Catalyst (Symmetric IRB/Asymmetric IRB Edition) - (Published June 27, 2024)

Following on from last time, we conducted an interconnection test between a white Box switch (hereinafter referred to as WBS) and Cisco switch products, so in this article we will introduce the settings and the test results.
For this interoperability verification, we imagined a data center network and built a small-scale Leaf-Spine configuration using Symmetric IRB/Asymmetric IRB.

[Points of this article]

A Symmetric IRB/Asymmetric IRB environment was constructed between WBS (ecSONiC) and Cisco switch products, and communication tests were conducted.

The high quality of the WBS was confirmed once again.

You can understand the operating specifications of ecSONiC's Symmetric IRB/Asymmetric IRB.
