Exercise 1: Setting up your environment
All of these exercises are designed to be performed on an Ubuntu 16.04 (Xenial) box.
If you have an Ubuntu 16.04 box on which you have sudo, you can feel free to use that.
If you do not, a Vagrantfile is provided to setup a basic Ubuntu 16.04 box for you
Vagrant Set up
Install Virtualbox
If you do not already have virtualbox on your laptop (or if it is not up to date), please download and install it:
https://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Downloads
Install Vagrant
If you do not already have Vagrant on your laptop (or if it is not up to date), please download it:
https://www.vagrantup.com/downloads.html
Create a Vagrant Directory
Create a directory on your laptop:
mkdir fdio-tutorial
cd fdio-tutorial/
Create a Vagrantfile containing:
# -*- mode: ruby -*-
# vi: set ft=ruby :
Vagrant.configure(2) do |config|
config.vm.box = "puppetlabs/ubuntu-16.04-64-nocm"
config.vm.box_check_update = false
vmcpu=(ENV['VPP_VAGRANT_VMCPU'] || 2)
vmram=(ENV['VPP_VAGRANT_VMRAM'] || 4096)
config.ssh.forward_agent = true
config.vm.provider "virtualbox" do |vb|
vb.customize ["modifyvm", :id, "--ioapic", "on"]
vb.memory = "#{vmram}"
vb.cpus = "#{vmcpu}"
#support for the SSE4.x instruction is required in some versions of VB.
vb.customize ["setextradata", :id, "VBoxInternal/CPUM/SSE4.1", "1"]
vb.customize ["setextradata", :id, "VBoxInternal/CPUM/SSE4.2", "1"]
end
end
Vagrant Up
Bring up your Vagrant VM:
vagrant up
ssh to Vagrant VM
vagrant ssh
Exercise 2: Install vpp
This tutorial is using a special packaging of vpp called vpp_lite that allows you to run multiple vpp processes simultaneously. We will be building topologies of these vpp processes to allow us to perform labs which require multiple instances of 'routers' or 'switches'. Because of this, we will be getting our vpp packages from a slightly non-standard apt repository.
Add key for apt repo
curl -L https://packagecloud.io/fdio/tutorial/gpgkey | sudo apt-key add -
Add repo to apt sources.list.d
With your favorite text editor (and sudo), create a file:
/etc/apt/sources.list.d/fdio_tutorial.list
containing
deb https://packagecloud.io/fdio/tutorial/ubuntu/ xenial main
deb-src https://packagecloud.io/fdio/tutorial/ubuntu/ xenial main
apt-get install vpp
Run
sudo apt-get install vpp
