+SHARP
+*****
+
+:abbr:`SHARP (Super Happy Advanced Routing Process)` is a daemon that provides
+miscellaneous functionality used for testing FRR and creating proof-of-concept
+labs.
+
+.. _starting-sharp:
+
+Starting SHARP
+==============
+
+Default configuration file for *sharpd* is :file:`sharpd.conf`. The typical
+location of :file:`sharpd.conf` is |INSTALL_PREFIX_ETC|/sharpd.conf.
+
+If the user is using integrated config, then :file:`sharpd.conf` need not be
+present and the :file:`frr.conf` is read instead.
+
+.. program:: sharpd
+
+:abbr:`SHARP` supports all the common FRR daemon start options which are
+documented elsewhere.
+
+.. _using-sharp:
+
+Using SHARP
+===========
+
+All sharp commands are under the enable node and preceded by the ``sharp``
+keyword. At present, no sharp commands will be preserved in the config.
+
+.. clicmd:: sharp install routes A.B.C.D <nexthop <E.F.G.H|X:X::X:X>|nexthop-group NAME> (1-1000000) [instance (0-255)] [repeat (2-1000)] [opaque WORD]
+
+ Install up to 1,000,000 (one million) /32 routes starting at ``A.B.C.D``
+ with specified nexthop ``E.F.G.H`` or ``X:X::X:X``. The nexthop is
+ a ``NEXTHOP_TYPE_IPV4`` or ``NEXTHOP_TYPE_IPV6`` and must be reachable
+ to be installed into the kernel. Alternatively a nexthop-group NAME
+ can be specified and used as the nexthops. The routes are installed into
+ zebra as ``ZEBRA_ROUTE_SHARP`` and can be used as part of a normal route
+ redistribution. Route installation time is noted in the debug
+ log. When zebra successfully installs a route into the kernel and SHARP
+ receives success notifications for all routes this is logged as well.
+ Instance (0-255) if specified causes the routes to be installed in a different
+ instance. If repeat is used then we will install/uninstall the routes the
+ number of times specified. If the keyword opaque is specified then the
+ next word is sent down to zebra as part of the route installation.
+
+.. clicmd:: sharp remove routes A.B.C.D (1-1000000)
+
+ Remove up to 1,000,000 (one million) /32 routes starting at ``A.B.C.D``. The
+ routes are removed from zebra. Route deletion start is noted in the debug
+ log and when all routes have been successfully deleted the debug log will be
+ updated with this information as well.
+
+.. clicmd:: sharp data route
+
+ Allow end user doing route install and deletion to get timing information
+ from the vty or vtysh instead of having to read the log file. This command
+ is informational only and you should look at sharp_vty.c for explanation
+ of the output as that it may change.
+
+.. clicmd:: sharp label <ipv4|ipv6> vrf NAME label (0-1000000)
+
+ Install a label into the kernel that causes the specified vrf NAME table to
+ be used for pop and forward operations when the specified label is seen.
+
+.. clicmd:: sharp watch <nexthop <A.B.C.D|X:X::X:X>|import <A.B.C.D/M:X:X::X:X/M> [connected]
+
+ Instruct zebra to monitor and notify sharp when the specified nexthop is
+ changed. The notification from zebra is written into the debug log.
+ The nexthop or import choice chooses the type of nexthop we are asking
+ zebra to watch for us. This choice affects zebra's decision on what
+ matches. Connected tells zebra whether or not that we want the route
+ matched against to be a static or connected route for the nexthop keyword,
+ for the import keyword connected means exact match. The no form of
+ the command obviously turns this watching off.
+
+.. clicmd:: sharp data nexthop
+
+ Allow end user to dump associated data with the nexthop tracking that
+ may have been turned on.
+
+.. clicmd:: sharp watch [vrf NAME] redistribute ROUTETYPE
+
+ Allow end user to monitor redistributed routes of ROUTETYPE
+ origin.
+
+.. clicmd:: sharp lsp [update] (0-100000) nexthop-group NAME [prefix A.B.C.D/M TYPE [instance (0-255)]]
+
+ Install an LSP using the specified in-label, with nexthops as
+ listed in nexthop-group ``NAME``. If ``update`` is included, the
+ update path is used. The LSP is installed as type ZEBRA_LSP_SHARP.
+ If ``prefix`` is specified, an existing route with type ``TYPE``
+ (and optional ``instance`` id) will be updated to use the LSP.
+
+.. clicmd:: sharp remove lsp (0-100000) nexthop-group NAME [prefix A.B.C.D/M TYPE [instance (0-255)]]
+
+ Remove a SHARPD LSP that uses the specified in-label, where the
+ nexthops are specified in nexthop-group ``NAME``. If ``prefix`` is
+ specified, remove label bindings from the route of type ``TYPE``
+ also.
+
+.. clicmd:: sharp send opaque type (1-255) (1-1000)
+
+ Send opaque ZAPI messages with subtype ``type``. Sharpd will send
+ a stream of messages if the count is greater than one.
+
+.. clicmd:: sharp send opaque unicast type (1-255) PROTOCOL [{instance (0-1000) | session (1-1000)}] (1-1000)
+
+ Send unicast opaque ZAPI messages with subtype ``type``. The
+ protocol, instance, and session_id identify a single target zapi
+ client. Sharpd will send a stream of messages if the count is
+ greater than one.
+
+.. clicmd:: sharp send opaque <reg | unreg> PROTOCOL [{instance (0-1000) | session (1-1000)}] type (1-1000)
+
+ Send opaque ZAPI registration and unregistration messages for a
+ single subtype. The messages must specify a protocol daemon by
+ name, and can include optional zapi ``instance`` and ``session``
+ values.
+
+.. clicmd:: sharp create session (1-1024)
+
+ Create an additional zapi client session for testing, using the
+ specified session id.
+
+.. clicmd:: sharp remove session (1-1024)
+
+ Remove a test zapi client session that was created with the
+ specified session id.
+
+.. clicmd:: sharp neigh discover [vrf NAME] <A.B.C.D|X:X::X:X> IFNAME
+
+ Send an ARP/NDP request to trigger the addition of a neighbor in the ARP
+ table.
+
+.. clicmd:: sharp import-te
+
+ Import Traffic Engineering Database produced by OSPF or IS-IS.
+
+.. clicmd:: show sharp ted [verbose|json]
+
+.. clicmd:: show sharp ted [<vertex [A.B.C.D]|edge [A.B.C.D]|subnet [A.B.C.D/M]>] [verbose|json]
+
+ Show imported Traffic Engineering Data Base
+
+.. clicmd:: show sharp cspf source <A.B.C.D|X:X:X:X> destination <A.B.C.D|X:X:X:X> <metric|te-metric|delay> (0-16777215) [rsv-bw (0-7) BANDWIDTH]
+
+ Show the result of a call to the Constraint Shortest Path First (CSPF)
+ algorithm that allows to compute a path between a source and a
+ destination under various constraints. Standard Metric, TE Metric, Delay
+ and Bandwidth are supported constraints. Prior to use this function, it is
+ necessary to import a Traffic Engineering Database with `sharp import-te`
+ command (see above).
+
+.. clicmd:: sharp install seg6-routes [vrf NAME] <A.B.C.D|X:X::X:X> nexthop-seg6 X:X::X:X encap X:X::X:X (1-1000000)
+
+ This command installs a route for SRv6 Transit behavior (on Linux it is
+ known as seg6 route). The count, destination, vrf, etc. have the same
+ meaning as in the ``sharp install routes`` command. With this command,
+ sharpd will request zebra to configure seg6 route via ZEBRA_ROUTE_ADD
+ ZAPI. As in the following example.
+
+::
+
+ router# sharp install seg6-routes 1::A nexthop-seg6 2001::2 encap A:: 1
+ router# sharp install seg6-routes 1::B nexthop-seg6 2001::2 encap B:: 1

+
+.. clicmd:: sharp install seg6local-routes [vrf NAME] X:X::X:X nexthop-seg6local NAME ACTION ARGS.. (1-1000000)
+
+ This command installs a route for SRv6 Endpoint behavior (on Linux it is
+ known as seg6local route). The count, destination, vrf, etc. have the same
+ meaning as in the ``sharp install routes`` command. With this command,
+ sharpd will request zebra to configure seg6local route via ZEBRA_ROUTE_ADD
+ ZAPI. As in the following example.
+
+ There are many End Functions defined in SRv6, which have been standardized
+ in RFC 8986. The current implementation supports End, End.X, End.T, End.DX4,
+ and End.DT6, which can be configured as follows.

+
+.. clicmd:: show sharp segment-routing srv6
+
+ This command shows us what SRv6 locator chunk, sharp is holding as zclient.
+ An SRv6 locator is defined for each SRv6 router, and a single locator may
+ be shared by multiple protocols.
+
+ In the FRRouting implementation, the Locator chunk get request is executed
+ by a routing protocol daemon such as sharpd or bgpd, And then Zebra
+ allocates a Locator Chunk, which is a subset of the Locator Prefix, and
+ notifies the requesting protocol daemon of this information.
+
+ This command example shows how the locator chunk of sharpd itself is
+ allocated.
+
+::
+
+ router# show segment-routing srv6 locator
+ Locator:
+ Name ID 2 2001:db8:2:2::/64 Up
+
+ router# show sharp segment-routing srv6
+ Locator loc1 has 1 prefix chunks
+ 2001:db8:1:1::/64
+
+.. clicmd:: sharp srv6-manager get-locator-chunk
+
+ This command requests the SRv6 locator to allocate a locator chunk via ZAPI.
+ This chunk can be owned by the protocol daemon, and the chunk obtained by
+ sharpd will not be used by the SRv6 mechanism of another routing protocol.
+
+ Since this request is made asynchronously, it can be issued before the SRv6
+ locator is configured on the zebra side, and as soon as it is ready on the
+ zebra side, sharpd can check the allocated locator chunk via zapi.
+

+
+.. clicmd:: sharp srv6-manager release-locator-chunk
+
+ This command releases a locator chunk that has already been allocated by
+ ZAPI. The freed chunk will have its owner returned to the system and will
+ be available to another protocol daemon.
