Introduction

This document explains the switch configuration for the Supermicro SSE-G3748 and SSE-T7132 switches.

Software for Open Networking in the Cloud (SONiC) is a Linux-based open-source network operating system that runs on different hardware platforms to meet the requirements of cloud data centers. SONiC has various modules implemented as containers that interact with each other.

SONiC switches can be configured from the Command Line Interface (CLI). This CLI can be used to configure as well as to display the configuration state and status. The CLI is accessible through an RS232 console port and SSH connections.

The configuration commands need root privileges to execute them and the commands are case-sensitive. The show commands can be executed by all users without root privileges. Root privileges can be obtained either by prefixing the keyword sudo to all configuration commands, or by using the command sudo -i to invoke the root prompt.
