The linux l3plugin is a Core Agent Plugin that is designed to configure ARP entries and routes in the linux environment. Configuration managed by this plugin is modelled by the proto file.
The configuration must be stored in ETCD using the following key:
/vnf-agent/<agent-label>/linux/config/v1/arp/<label>
An example of configuration in json format can be found here.
To insert config into etcd in json format vpp-agent-ctl
can be used. We assume that we want to configure vpp with label vpp1 and config is stored in
the arp-json.json file
vpp-agent-ctl -put "/vnf-agent/vpp1/linux/config/v1/arp/arp1" json/arp-linux.json
The vpp-agent-ctl also contains a simple predefined linux ARP entry config. It can be used for testing purposes. To setup the predefined ARP config run:
vpp-agent-ctl -larp
To remove it run:
vpp-agent-ctl -larpd
The configuration must be stored in etcd using the following key:
/vnf-agent/<agent-label>/linux/config/v1/route/<label>
An example of configuration in json format can be found here for static routes and here for default routes.
To insert config into etcd in json format vpp-agent-ctl can be used.
We assume that we want to configure vpp with label vpp1 and config is stored in the routes-linux-static.json
or routes-linux-default.json file
vpp-agent-ctl -put "/vnf-agent/vpp1/linux/config/v1/route/route1" json/routes-linux-static.json
vpp-agent-ctl -put "/vnf-agent/vpp1/linux/config/v1/route/defRoute" json/routes-linux-default.json
The vpp-agent-ctl contains a simple predefined route config also. It can be used for testing purposes. To setup the predefined route config run:
vpp-agent-ctl -lrte
To remove it run:
vpp-agent-ctl -lrted
To create a route, appropriate interface is required.
