=============================================================== IPv6 Configuration - Setting Up a Service VM as an IPv6 vRouter =============================================================== This section provides instructions to set up a service VM as an IPv6 vRouter using OPNFV Brahmaputra Release installers. The environment may be pure OpenStack option or Open Daylight L2-only option. The deployment model may be HA or non-HA. The infrastructure may be bare metal or virtual environment. For complete instructions and documentations of setting up service VM as an IPv6 vRouter using ANY method, please refer to: 1. IPv6 Configuration Guide (HTML): http://artifacts.opnfv.org/ipv6/docs/setupservicevm/index.html 2. IPv6 User Guide (HTML): http://artifacts.opnfv.org/ipv6/docs/gapanalysis/index.html **************************** Pre-configuration Activities **************************** The configuration will work in 2 environments: 1. OpenStack-only environment 2. OpenStack with Open Daylight L2-only environment Depending on which installer will be used to deploy OPNFV, each environment may be deployed on bare metal or virtualized infrastructure. Each deployment may be HA or non-HA. Refer to the previous installer configuration chapters, installations guide and release notes. ****************************************** Setup Manual in OpenStack-Only Environment ****************************************** If you intend to set up a service VM as an IPv6 vRouter in OpenStack-only environment of OPNFV Brahmaputra Release, please **NOTE** that: * Because the anti-spoofing rules of Security Group feature in OpenStack prevents a VM from forwarding packets, we need to disable Security Group feature in the OpenStack-only environment. * The hostnames, IP addresses, and username are for exemplary purpose in instructions. Please change as needed to fit your environment. * The instructions apply to both deployment model of single controller node and HA (High Availability) deployment model where multiple controller nodes are used. ----------------------------- Install OPNFV and Preparation ----------------------------- **OPNFV-NATIVE-INSTALL-1**: To install OpenStack-only environment of OPNFV Brahmaputra Release: **Apex Installer**: .. code-block:: bash # HA deployment in OpenStack-only environment opnfv-deploy -d /etc/opnfv/os-ha.yaml # Non-HA deployment in OpenStack-only environment opnfv-deploy -d /etc/opnfv/os-noha.yaml **Fuel** Installer: .. code-block:: bash # HA deployment in OpenStack-only environment deploy.sh -s os-ha # Non-HA deployment in OpenStack-only environment deploy.sh -s os-noha **OPNFV-NATIVE-INSTALL-2**: Clone the following GitHub repository to get the configuration and metadata files .. code-block:: bash git clone https://github.com/sridhargaddam/opnfv_os_ipv6_poc.git /opt/stack/opnfv_os_ipv6_poc ---------------------------------------------- Disable Security Groups in OpenStack ML2 Setup ---------------------------------------------- **OPNFV-NATIVE-SEC-1**: Change the settings in ``/etc/neutron/plugins/ml2/ml2_conf.ini`` as follows .. code-block:: bash # /etc/neutron/plugins/ml2/ml2_conf.ini [securitygroup] enable_security_group = False firewall_driver = neutron.agent.firewall.NoopFirewallDriver **OPNFV-NATIVE-SEC-2**: Change the settings in ``/etc/nova/nova.conf`` as follows .. code-block:: bash # /etc/nova/nova.conf [DEFAULT] security_group_api = nova firewall_driver = nova.virt.firewall.NoopFirewallDriver --------------------------------- Set Up Service VM as IPv6 vRouter --------------------------------- **OPNFV-NATIVE-SETUP-1**: Now we assume that OpenStack multi-node setup is up and running.

First of all, we will have to identify the ``ipv6-router`` namespace and move to the namespace. Please **NOTE** that in case of HA (High Availability) deployment model where multiple controller nodes are used, ``ipv6-router`` created in step **SETUP-SVM-11** could be in any of the controller node. Thus you need to identify in which controller node ``ipv6-router`` is created in order to manually spawn ``radvd`` daemon inside the ``ipv6-router`` namespace in steps **SETUP-SVM-24** through **SETUP-SVM-30**. The following command in Neutron will display the controller on which the ``ipv6-router`` is spawned. .. code-block:: bash neutron l3-agent-list-hosting-router ipv6-router Then you login to that controller and execute steps **SETUP-SVM-24** through **SETUP-SVM-30** **SETUP-SVM-24**: identify the ``ipv6-router`` namespace and move to the namespace .. code-block:: bash sudo ip netns exec qrouter-$(neutron router-list | grep -w ipv6-router | awk '{print $2}') bash **SETUP-SVM-25**: Upon successful execution of the above command, you will be in the router namespace. Now let us configure the IPv6 address on the interface. .. code-block:: bash export router_interface=$(ip a s | grep -w "global qr-*" | awk '{print $7}') ip -6 addr add 2001:db8:0:1::1 dev $router_interface **SETUP-SVM-26**: Update the sample file ``/opt/stack/opnfv_os_ipv6_poc/scenario2/radvd.conf`` with ``$router_interface``. .. code-block:: bash cp /opt/stack/opnfv_os_ipv6_poc/scenario2/radvd.conf /tmp/radvd.$router_interface.conf sed -i 's/$router_interface/'$router_interface'/g' /tmp/radvd.$router_interface.conf **SETUP-SVM-27**: Spawn a ``radvd`` daemon to simulate an external router. This ``radvd`` daemon advertises an IPv6 subnet prefix of ``2001:db8:0:1::/64`` using RA (Router Advertisement) on its $router_interface so that ``eth0`` interface of ``vRouter`` automatically configures an IPv6 SLAAC address. .. code-block:: bash $radvd -C /tmp/radvd.$router_interface.conf -p /tmp/br-ex.pid.radvd -m syslog **SETUP-SVM-28**: Add an IPv6 downstream route pointing to the ``eth0`` interface of vRouter. .. code-block:: bash ip -6 route add 2001:db8:0:2::/64 via 2001:db8:0:1:f816:3eff:fe11:1111 **SETUP-SVM-29**: The routing table should now look similar to something shown below. .. code-block:: bash ip -6 route show 2001:db8:0:1::1 dev qr-42968b9e-62 proto kernel metric 256 2001:db8:0:1::/64 dev qr-42968b9e-62 proto kernel metric 256 expires 86384sec 2001:db8:0:2::/64 via 2001:db8:0:1:f816:3eff:fe11:1111 dev qr-42968b9e-62 proto ra metric 1024 expires 29sec fe80::/64 dev qg-3736e0c7-7c proto kernel metric 256 fe80::/64 dev qr-42968b9e-62 proto kernel metric 256 **SETUP-SVM-30**: If all goes well, the IPv6 addresses assigned to the VMs would be as shown as follows: .. code-block:: bash vRouter eth0 interface would have the following IPv6 address: 2001:db8:0:1:f816:3eff:fe11:1111/64 vRouter eth1 interface would have the following IPv6 address: 2001:db8:0:2::1/64 VM1 would have the following IPv6 address: 2001:db8:0:2:f816:3eff:fe33:3333/64 VM2 would have the following IPv6 address: 2001:db8:0:2:f816:3eff:fe44:4444/64 -------------------------------- Testing to Verify Setup Complete -------------------------------- Now, let us ``ssh`` to one of the VMs, e.g. VM1, to confirm that it has successfully configured the IPv6 address using ``SLAAC`` with prefix ``2001:db8:0:2::/64`` from ``vRouter``. Please note that you need to get the IPv4 address associated to VM1. This can be inferred from ``nova list`` command. **SETUP-SVM-31**: ``ssh`` VM1 .. code-block:: bash ssh -i /home/odl/vRouterKey cirros@ If everything goes well, ``ssh`` will be successful and you will be logged into VM1. Run some commands to verify that IPv6 addresses are configured on ``eth0`` interface. **SETUP-SVM-32**: Show an IPv6 address with a prefix of ``2001:db8:0:2::/64`` .. code-block:: bash ip address show **SETUP-SVM-33**: ping some external IPv6 address, e.g. ``ipv6-router`` .. code-block:: bash ping6 2001:db8:0:1::1 If the above ping6 command succeeds, it implies that ``vRouter`` was able to successfully forward the IPv6 traffic to reach external ``ipv6-router``. **SETUP-SVM-34**: When all tests show that the setup works as expected, You can now exit the ``ipv6-router`` namespace. .. code-block:: bash exit ********************************* IPv6 Post Installation Procedures ********************************* Congratulations, you have completed the setup of using a service VM to act as an IPv6 vRouter. You have validated the setup based on the instruction in previous sections. If you want to further test your setup, you can ``ping6`` among ``VM1``, ``VM2``, ``vRouter`` and ``ipv6-router``. This setup allows further open innovation by any 3rd-party. For more instructions and documentations, please refer to: 1.
