+# Fabric switches software setup
+
+CORD uses the Trellis fabric to connect the data plane components together.
+
+The full [latest Trellis fabric documentation](https://wiki.opencord.org/display/CORD/Trellis%3A+CORD+Network+Infrastructure) can still be found on the old CORD wiki.
+
+## Supported switches
+
+The list of supported hardware can be found in the [hardware requirements page](prereqs/hardware.html#generic-hardware-guidelines).
+
+## Operating system
+
+At today, all compatible switches use [Open Networking Linux (ONL)](https://opennetlinux.org/) as operating system.
+
+The [latest compatible ONL image](https://github.com/opencord/OpenNetworkLinux/releases/download/2017-10-19.2200-1211610/ONL-2.0.0_ONL-OS_2017-10-19.2200-1211610_AMD64_INSTALLED_INSTALLER) can be downloaded from [here](https://github.com/opencord/OpenNetworkLinux/releases/download/2017-10-19.2200-1211610/ONL-2.0.0_ONL-OS_2017-10-19.2200-1211610_AMD64_INSTALLED_INSTALLER).

+**Checksum**: *sha256:2db316ea83f5dc761b9b11cc8542f153f092f3b49d82ffc0a36a2c41290f5421*
+
+Deployment guidelines on how to install ONL on top of an ONIE compatible device can be found directly on the [ONL website](https://opennetlinux.org/docs/deploy).
+
+This specific version of ONL has been already customized to accept an IP address through DHCP on the management interface, *ma0*. If you'd like to use a static IP, give it first an IP through DHCP, login and change the configuration in */etc/network/interfaces*.
+
+The default *username* and *password* are *root* / *onl*.
+
+## OFDPA drivers
+
+Once ONL is installed OFDPA drivers will need to be installed as well.
+Each switch model requires a specific version of OFDPA. All driver packages are distributed as DEB packages. This makes the installation process very easy.
+
+First, copy the package to the switch. For example
+
+```shell
+scp your-ofdpa.deb root@fabric-switch-ip:
+```
+
+Then, install the deb package
+
+```shell
+dpkg -i your-ofdpa.deb
+```
+
+## OFDPA drivers download
