EOS Native paths

To get EOS native paths, OCTA has to be enabled as mentioned in the configuration section. Performing GET/SUBSCRIBE actions using EOS native paths require changing the origin to eos_native.

Commonly used paths

  • MAC table: /Smash/bridging/status/smashFdbStatus
  • ARP table: /Smash/arp/status/arpEntry
  • Neighbor table: /Smash/arp/status/neighborEntry
  • IPv4 RIB: /Smash/routing/status/route
  • IPv6 RIB: /Smash/routing6/status/route
  • IPv4 next-hop table: /Smash/routing/status/nexthop
  • IPv6 next-hop table: /Smash/routing6/status/nexthop
