[OpenWrt Wiki] DSA Networking
openwrt.org › docs › guide-userAug 04, 2021 · DSA Networking Starting in OpenWrt 21.02, many target architectures are switching to DSA (Distributed Switch Architecture) and is the Linux kernel subsystem for network switches. These pages are a Work In Process. If you can contribute your knowledge, we would be pleased for the help.
[OpenWrt Wiki] DSA Mini-Tutorial
openwrt.org › docs › guide-userAug 17, 2021 · DSA Mini-Tutorial Introduction DSA stands for Distributed Switch Architecture and is the Linux kernel subsystem for network switches. Because upstream kernel development now uses DSA, the OpenWrt Project is implementing DSA to replace the earlier swconfig framework. Many new routers also use DSA drivers instead of swconfig drivers.
[OpenWrt Wiki] Upgrading to OpenWrt 21.02.0
https://openwrt.org/docs/guide-user/network/dsa/upgrading-to-2102However, there is no “keep-configuration” migration path from 19.07 to 21.02 for targets that switched from swconfig to DSA. The affected targets are: ath79 (only TP-Link TL-WR941ND), bcm4908, gemini, kirkwood, mediatek (most boards), mvebu, octeon, ramips (mt7621 subtarget only), and realtek.Check the Target column in the table below. If your device is listed, check its …
[OpenWrt Wiki] swconfig
openwrt.org › docs › techrefDSA's development was parallel to swconfig, written by the OpenWrt project. The main difference between swconfig and DSA is that DSA-supported switches show one network interface per port, whereas swconfig-configured switches show up as a single port, which limits the amount of information that can be extracted from the switch.
