Once the stack is created, the vBNG configuration file is deployed to the instance to '$HOME/vbng.conf' and latest vBNG code is directly pulled from specified upstream git repository (default is the Swisscom repository) by cloud-init user-data script. The stack output shows initial vBNG configuration, the floating IP and how to connect to the instance by SSH. To create a stack in OpenStack heat you first require the Heat template from here: https://git.swisscom.com/projects/ZTXGSPON/repos/opnfv/browse/heat/vbng.yaml (Drop a note to michail salichos, David Perez Caparros  or Daniel Balsiger in case you do not have access)

OLT

...

Configuration

OLT onboarding configuration is not done by cloud-init, since OLT parameters are normally not known at stack creation time. For OLT onboarding the 2 tunnels for datapath and DHCP transport and the DHCP L3 relay on the OLT have to be configured. Therefore another script should be used, once the vbng instance is provisioned initially:

vbng/03-setupolt.sh                 

...

vxlan_data_ip: The IP Address of the VxLAN remote tunnel endpoint for OLT datapath

...

vxlan_data_port: The UDP Port of the VxLAN remote tunnel endpoint for OLT datapath

...

vxlan_data_vni: The VNI of the VxLAN remote tunnel endpoint for OLT datapath

...

vxlan_dhcp_ip: The IP Address of the VxLAN remote tunnel endpoint for DHCP server / relay traffic

...

vxlan_dhcp_port: The UDP Port of the VxLAN remote tunnel endpoint for DHCP server / relay traffic

...

vxlan_dhcp_vni: The VNI of the VxLAN remote tunnel endpoint for DHCP server / relay traffic

...

relay_north_ip: The Northbound IP of the L3 DHCP relay on the OLT. (Where the DHCP server routes its replies to)

relay_south_ip: The Southbound IP of the L3 DHCP relay on the OLT. (Where the DHCP replies are injected into datapath)

With the newest version there is a REST interface for configuring OLTs. See REST API documentation below: 'POST CreateOLT',  'GET GetOLT',  'POST DeleteOLT'. To assist with working with the REST API, you can utilize Postman, and import the current API Collection.

ONT/Subscriber Configuration

Subscribers are usually configured by calls to bbs-edge-restconf-server directly from ONAP. In case you would like to test this functionality you can of course trigger this directly with the REST API calls defined below.

Important parameters are: "remote_id":"AC9.000.990.001","s_vlan":10,"c_vlan":333 .Of course the values configured must match what the OLT/ONT in the Lab sends.

ONT/Subscriber Configuration

Subscribers are usually configured by calls to bbs-edge-restconf-server directly from ONAP. In case you would like to test this functionality you can of course trigger this directly with curl to the floating IP, TCP port 5000 of the vbng instance:

Code Block
languagebash
themeRDark
curl -H "Content-Type: application/json" -X POST -d '{"remote_id":"AC9.000.990.001","ont_sn":"serial","service_type":"Internet","mac":"00:00:00:00:00:00","service_id":"1","up_speed":"100","down_speed":"100","s_vlan":10,"c_vlan":333}' 172.30.0.134:5000/CreateInternetProfileInstance

Important parameters are: "remote_id":"AC9.000.990.001","s_vlan":10,"c_vlan":333 .Of course the values configured must match what the OLT/ONT in the Lab sends. The DHCP authentication is done only on the correct value of remote_id. Once successfully authenticated and given a lease by DHCP, dataplane configuration is delegated to a host process by publishing a message to the queue. The host process is consuming the message from the queue and configures subscribers dataplane with the help of those two scripts:

...

  • Enable a particular customer
  • Usage: vbng/04-setupcustomer.sh [olt_id] [s-vlan] [c-vlan] [customer_ip] [traffic_profile_id]

...

Currently only 4 subscribers profiles are supported (1/2/3/4), 2 * 100Mbit/s symmetrical and 2 * 20Mit/s symmetrical, respectively. This should be enough to run all test-cases for the BBS use-case.

REST API

The REST API documentation (this section) currently only applies to the layer2_dhcp branch in the Git repo.  To assist with working with the REST API, you can utilize Postman, and import the current API Collection.  The information below documents each REST call that is available.
