@itamar-talmon itamar-talmon commented Apr 5, 2022

What I did
Removed the dependency on the "Ethernet" string in the SONiC code base and added support
for extending the front panel port name pattern.

How I did it

Introduced FRONT_PANEL_PORT_PREFIX_REGEX that extends the old FRONT_PANEL_PORT_PREFIX ("Ethernet")
Updated all the relevant usage of the "Ethernet" throughout the code base to use the new regex pattern
How to verify it
Pass all UT and CI testing.

Why I did it
In order to support distinguishing between different types of front panel ports in a maintainable fashion.
Specifically, we are planning to bring up a system with 'service' ports (in addition to the regular ethernet data ports) - these
are lower speed ports that used for connection to accelerators, internal loopbacks and more.

Quoting @lguohan here:-

the overall motivation is not quite clear. can you describe what are you trying to achieve here? here is the sonic port naming convention. for new port names convention to be introduced, we need to make a proposal first here. https://github.com/sonic-net/SONiC/blob/master/doc/sonic-port-name.md
