DSA Networking

Starting in OpenWrt 21.02, many target architectures are switching to DSA (Distributed Switch Architecture), 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.

DSA configuration files are incompatible with the swconfig files used by earlier versions of OpenWrt. Read the rest of these page to learn more about using OpenWrt 21.02 and DSA.

• DSA Mini-Tutorial gives an overview of the concepts of DSA.

• Converting to DSA tells how to convert your swconfig files to DSA syntax and semantics

• Upgrading to OpenWrt 21.02.0 gives other recommendations and requirements for upgrading to OpenWrt 21.02
