p4rt-client was developed to prototype behavior on a SONiC based switch via P4Runtime interface. There is no provison for handling "packet-in", so while it can configure the switch, it is not a "runtime" controller.
macToIpV6 is a simple utility that takes a single argument, MAC Addr, in the format 00:11:22:33:44:55 and prints to STDOUT the IPv6 Link Local Address
To use go get you need to first set up git to use git@github.com: syntax instead of https://github
git config --global url.git@github.com:.insteadOf https://github.com/
Assuming your github credidentials are setup and you have a functional golang environment you should be able to use:
go get github.com/pins/p4rt-clientgo get github.com/pins/p4rt-client/utils/macToIpV6
$ p4rt-client --help

p4rt-client is used to configure the SAI layer of a SONiC based switch via the P4Runtime Service
Options:
p4rt-client -pushP4Info is used to push the p4info.txt file to the switch for command interpretation
p4rt-client -addRouterInt is used to create a virtual interface and map it to a physical interface
p4rt-client -addNeighbor is used to define an adjacent entity (switch, router, server etc..)
p4rt-client -addNextHop is used to create a NextHop label for a interface & neighbor combination
p4rt-client -addIpV4 is used to create a route entry and point it to a NextHop
p4rt-client -addActionProfile is used to join several NextHop entries into one entity for (E|U)cmp pathing
p4rt-client -addIpV4Wcmp is used to create a route entry and point it to an (E|U)cmp path
p4rt-client -help prints this message
global options:
-debug : generated detailed debugging info
-logfile=$LOG_FILE : direct output to file instead of stdout
For help on an individual option include the option with -help e.g.
p4rt-client -pushP4Info -help
To see list of available arguments
p4rt-client -h
To see instructions for multiple Options in a single invocation:
p4rt-client -help -advanced
