[filter-fdb]: Filter Out FDB Entries With Switch MAC Address #1331
Conversation
An entry with switch/router MAC address could be added to the FDB table via fast-boot FDB reprogramming. This PR extend FDB filter to detect those entreis and remove them. signed-off-by: Tamer Ahmed <[email protected]>

since switch_mac is used only in this function, can we have it as a separate API to fetch instead of changing multiple existing APIs?

It could, I just did not want to open the json files twice.

is this valid scenario, having one neighbor entry map to two different macs?

perhaps, existing code already filter out such mac, i remember previously we did correlate the fdb and arp entries, and will insert fdb entries if they exist. However, in this case, we may have fdb entry of switch mac, but I highly doubt we will also have an arp entry that points to the switch mac. Therefore, the current code should be ok.
meanwhile, I think it is good to have the check, but I think we should assign a different neighbor IP here. I do not think we can have same IP assigned to two different macs.

Agree with Guohan.. the current code already filters out if the arp is not present and there is no valid scenario we get an arp entry (for nbr) with switch mac.

I invented it as I did not see the arp from the switch. I'll change the IPs. The reason to have this test case is to ensure that condition mac != switch_mac is hit. Will update the IP address to a different one

if we see mac = switch_mac, it is kind of very strange, can we get a WARNING log here? maybe something is wrong. meanwhile, for mac in fdb but not in arp, we can continue ignore without any log.

OK, will add logs

- What I did
Filter out FDB entries that switch/router MAC address
- How I did it
new code to filter those entries. The code retrieves the device MAC address and uses this MAC address to filter any FDB entry that has it.
- How to verify it
unit test added
- Previous command output (if the output of a command-line utility has changed)
N/A
- New command output (if the output of a command-line utility has changed)
