Hello Ran,
We don’t normally maintain special handling for old parameters if they can be safely ignored. I recommend removing the checks and warnings related to this parameter.

Subject: RE: [Starlingx-discuss] removing link capacity configuration during controller config
Hi Matt
For considering of compatibility with old *.ini configure files, I kept link speed checks/warnings part in config_validator. It could be removed if nobody need the old format configure file.
Hi all
If anyone need to keep link speed option in *.ini configure file, please let me know.
Thanks
Ran
The link speed checks/warnings should also be removed when the input parameter is removed since it will no longer be provided during config_controller, and therefore not available for validation.

Subject: [Starlingx-discuss] removing link capacity configuration during controller config
Hi All:
I am working on bug [1] removing “link capacity of interface” configuration in config_controller, config_validator and config_gui.
Reason: the link capacity is set to 10G only when doing traffic control[2], it is unnecessary to input ‘link capacity’ during controller configure.
Impact: 1) all ‘link capacity’ related configure input option is removed.
2) it is compatibility with old *.ini configure file:
when “INTERFACE_LINK_CAPACITY=10000”, it is compatible.
For other values, you will see following errors: “Invalid link-capacity value for XXX”. Relax. Just edit “INTERFACE_LINK_CAPACITY” to 10000 and retry “config_controller”.
Feel free to reply if you any idea about this. Any response is welcome.
