Networking/ONL
Open Network Linux[edit]
Initially proposed at Open Compute Project Engineering Workshop in San Antonio by Big Switch Networks in 2013, Open Network Linux (ONL) is is a Linux distribution for "bare metal" switches.
Adopted by the Open Compute Project in 2014, ONL is the reference Network Operating System for the Open Compute Project.
Hardware Support[edit]
ONL currently supports 110+ Networking Switches of which 33 are either OCP Accepted or Inspired.
Certification[edit]
ONL maintains a certification program for validation of network switch hardware with ONL. A designation of ONL Certified is applied to switches that pass ONL conformance testing. A separate Gold status certification is available to vendors who provide materials for ongoing testing.
The generic ONL testing guide is located Here
