Our bottom-up exercise is targeted to develop a Proof-of-Concept (PoC) of creating a Service VM as an IPv6 vRouter in OPNFV environment, i.e. integrated OpenStack with Open Daylight environment. We have 2 goals of this exercise:

• Deliver the PoC of a Service VM as an IPv6 vRouter in Brahmaputra Release
• Perform gap analysis with OpenStack and Open Daylight

Please go to PoC Design page, Figure POC-X3, for the architecture design of using a Service VM as an IPv6 vRouter

Our PoC environment is set up within the OPNFV Community Lab from Spirent. Please click here for the details of lab environment and setup of the PoC.

Please note that the details, such as hostname, IP address, etc. in the following sections are referred to the environmental details above

There are three major phases to implement this PoC:

• Setting up OpenStack with Open Daylight Controller
  • Step 1: Bring up the ODL Controller
  • Step 2: Set up OpenStack with ODL Controller as a Control+Network+Compute Node
  • Step 3: Set up OpenStack with ODL Controller as a Compute Node
  • Optional Step 3-1: Disable Anti-spoofing Rule if Juno codebase is used
  • Note: Use Neutron ML2 Port Security Extension for Kilo codebase in order for us to create ports where Neutron does not apply any anti-spoofing rules which can come in the way of Service VM use-cases.
• Step 4: Launching and Configuring Service VM
  • Option 1: Cloud-init / Metadata for Fedora-20 VM
  • Option 2: Manual configuration of CentOS-7 VM
• Step 5: Creating Networks and Subnets to complete the PoC

Because of the gaps in ODL, effectively the role of ODL in the integrated environment is the same as OVS to provide VMs wit L2 connectivity. No additional ODL feature is used in the integrated environment. Thus alternatively, the Service VM-based IPv6 vRouter can be set up in the OpenStack environment with ML2 OVS without ODL.

• Service VM as vRouter

Laptop option - you have a VirtualBox + with CentOS7 "centos7vm" installed.

This is an exercise to get you create an IPv6 vanila vm before you jump to VM running vRouter
