feat: add interface name abstraction and alias management#104
Conversation
This commit introduces a name abstraction layer between SONiC's native interface names (e.g. Ethernet0) and abstract names (e.g. eth0-0), along with the ability to set interface alias names. Key changes: - Proto/gRPC: Added native_name, alias_name fields to Interface message; new SetInterfaceAliasName RPC; new SaveConfig RPC (gNOI-style) - SONiC agent: SaveConfig now uses D-Bus (org.SONiC.HostService) instead of shelling out to config save; ListInterfaces reads oper status from APPL_DB instead of STATE_DB; populates native_name and alias_name per interface - Name conversion utils: New NativeNameToAbstractName/AbstractNameToNativeName helpers (Ethernet0 <-> eth0-0) - SwitchInterface CRD: Added nativeName to spec and aliasName to status; added Initializing state - Controller: Reconciler now syncs interface alias name to spec.handle if mismatched, and uses nativeName for admin-status/neighbor lookups - CLI: New gnoi save-config subcommand Signed-off-by: Daniel Beres <daniel.beres@sap.com>
