The all of process has 5 steps:
Open Network Linux is a Linux distribution for “bare metal” switches, that is, network forwarding devices built from commodity components.
ONL uses ONIE to install onto on-board flash memory. Open Network Linux is a part of the Open Compute Project and is a component in a growing collection of open source and commercial projects.
ONIE is an Open Compute Project open source initiative contributed by Cumulus Networks that defines an open “install environment” for bare metal network switches.
ONIE provide the command which help customer send the support bundle to vendor. The command name is onie-support. It can dump useful information of ONIE for troubleshooting and analysis Edgecore switch platform.
onie-support have more features in last updated. We suggest you download the new one from ONIE master branch. Please follow the steps below.
