Sonic Operator

Appearance

Switch agent ​

The switch agent runs on the switch and exposes device and interface operations via gRPC. The controller connects to this agent to observe and enforce state.

Binaries ​

  • cmd/agent/main.go: gRPC server deployed on the switch.
  • cmd/agent_cli/main.go: CLI client for the agent API (useful for diagnostics).

Capabilities (high level) ​

  • Get device info (MAC, HWSKU, SONiC OS version).
  • List ports and interfaces.
  • Get interface state.
  • Set interface admin state.
  • Get neighbor info (when available).

Notes ​

The current implementation uses SONiC Redis as the data source for switch state.
