      4Broadcom RoboSwitch Ethernet switch driver
      5==========================================
      6
      7The Broadcom RoboSwitch Ethernet switch family is used in quite a range of
      8xDSL router, cable modems and other multimedia devices.
      9
     10The actual implementation supports the devices BCM5325E, BCM5365, BCM539x,
     11BCM53115 and BCM53125 as well as BCM63XX.
     12
     13Implementation details
     14======================
     15
     16The driver is located in ``drivers/net/dsa/b53/`` and is implemented as a
     17DSA driver; see ``Documentation/networking/dsa/dsa.rst`` for details on the
     18subsystem and what it provides.
     19
     20The switch is, if possible, configured to enable a Broadcom specific 4-bytes
     21switch tag which gets inserted by the switch for every packet forwarded to the
     22CPU interface, conversely, the CPU network interface should insert a similar
     23tag for packets entering the CPU port. The tag format is described in
     24``net/dsa/tag_brcm.c``.
     25
     26The configuration of the device depends on whether or not tagging is
     27supported.
     28
     29The interface names and example network configuration are used according the
     30configuration described in the :ref:`dsa-config-showcases`.
     31
     32Configuration with tagging support
     33----------------------------------
     34
     35The tagging based configuration is desired. It is not specific to the b53
     36DSA driver and will work like all DSA drivers which supports tagging.
     37
     38See :ref:`dsa-tagged-configuration`.
     39
     40Configuration without tagging support
     41-------------------------------------
     42
     43Older models (5325, 5365) support a different tag format that is not supported
     44yet. 539x and 531x5 require managed mode and some special handling, which is
     45also not yet supported. The tagging support is disabled in these cases and the
     46switch need a different configuration.
     47
     48The configuration slightly differ from the :ref:`dsa-vlan-configuration`.
     49
     50The b53 tags the CPU port in all VLANs, since otherwise any PVID untagged
     51VLAN programming would basically change the CPU port's default PVID and make
     52it untagged, undesirable.
     53
     54In difference to the configuration described in :ref:`dsa-vlan-configuration`
     55the default VLAN 1 has to be removed from the slave interface configuration in
     56single port and gateway configuration, while there is no need to add an extra
     57VLAN configuration in the bridge showcase.
     58
     59single port
     60~~~~~~~~~~~
     61The configuration can only be set up via VLAN tagging and bridge setup.
     62By default packages are tagged with vid 1:
