As a result of upgrading the Debian distribution to Bookworm, the original Python CLI (based on python2) was removed, as the interaction with the DANZ Monitoring Fabric (DMF) and CCF is performed mainly from the Controller. However, several customer operations involve some of the commands used on the switch. These commands are implemented in the new CLI (based on python3) in Switchlight in the Bookworm Debian distribution.

In DMF, all SWL OS switches with the same underlying ASIC have the same RTAG7 hash parameters configured by default. After configuring MLAG to load balance traffic from filter to delivery switches, and when the number of interfaces in the MLAG and LAG in the delivery switch is the same, the traffic will not be load balanced in the delivery switch because of hash polarization.
