Re: [vpp-dev] Building RPM's for VPP and include router and netlink plugins

2018-04-06 Thread Jan Hugo Prins | BetterBe 
Hello,

after some pointers from Burt Silverman I was able to build the router
and netlink plugin.
The process is as follows:

$ git clone https://gerrit.fd.io/r/vpp
$ cd vpp/build-root/vagrant/
$ export VPP_VAGRANT_DISTRO=centos7
$ vagrant up
$ vagrant ssh
$ sudo yum -y install
https://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/epel-release-latest-7.noarch.rpm
$ exit
$ vagrant provision
$ vagrant ssh
$ cd ~
$ git clone https://gerrit.fd.io/r/vppsb
$ sudo yum install -y python-cffi python-pycparser
$ cd /vpp
$ ln -sf /home/vagrant/vppsb/netlink
$ ln -sf /home/vagrant/vppsb/router
$ ln -sf ../../netlink/netlink.mk build-data/packages/
$ ln -sf ../../router/router.mk build-data/packages/
$ cd build-root/
$ make V=0 PLATFORM=vpp TAG=vpp_debug netlink-install router-install

The rpm files are in the directory: /vpp/build-root/
The plugins are now in the directory:
/vpp/build-root/install-vpp_debug-native/

librtnl.so  -> /usr/lib64
testrtnl_plugin.so  ->  /usr/lib/vpp_plugins
router.so   -> /usr/lib/vpp_plugins

I have not yet found how to make sure that the Fedora-Epel repository is
in the image before I start building, so 'vagrant up' fails initially
because it misses some packages.
After putting the plugins on the target server in the correct
directories, vpp is able to load the plugins and I'm able to do a
'enable tap-inject'.

One side note, after doing 'enable tap-inject' I have the tap interfaces
but:

- Doing 'show tap TenGigabitEthernet5/0/0' crashes vpp. Have not found
any stacktraces.

More testing will be done in the coming week.

Some quick questions:
- Is it possible to give the tap interfaces created by the router plugin
specific names? Can I name them like the interfaces in vpp itself?
- How do I save my configuration I put in vppctl? Do I need to create a
script or config file somewhere?


Thanks,
Jan Hugo Prins

[vpp-dev] Building RPM's for VPP and include router and netlink plugins

2018-04-06 Thread Jan Hugo Prins | BetterBe 
Hello,

I'm currently trying ot build a BGP router based on frrouter and VPP.
To do this I have tried to follow the following URL:
https://github.com/FRRouting/frr/wiki/Alternate-forwarding-planes:-VPP

The first part works fine.
I set VPP_VAGRANT_DISTRO to centos7.
I build the vpp packages and this results in a whole lot of rpm files.
After that I have to checkout the vppsb project and create some symlinks.
But after that I have to run ./bootstrap.sh in the build-root directory,
but it ain't there.
Skipping the ./bootstrap.sh doesn't work either because the make after
that does not work at that location.

Could someone give me some pointers on how to get the vpp rpm set
including the plugins from the vppsb project?

I want to base the router on centos 7.4.
