Hi Komal,

I now have an issue SSH’ing into my nodes (error in attachment) because of a bad configuration. Can this be because of the issue we just discussed?

Kind regards,

Robin

[Robin Schelstraete]

I ran the notebook without any problems. Everything works as expected now. Thank you Komal!

Kind regards,

Robin

Hi Komal,

Thank you for your quick response. In the meantime I have restarted my server via the control panel, now I have a new error (screenshot attached).

You said to run the jupyter-examples-rel1.6.1/configure_and_validate.ipynb notebook, does it matter that my files are all in jupyter-examples-rel1.5.4?

Thanks,

Robin

[Robin Schelstraete]

Thank you!!

Hi Komal,

 

It works, thank you for your help!

Hi Acheme,

I am able to ping every node from every other node, so I didn’t think it was necessary to allocate network resources. Maybe it could help with my problem, do you know how I could reserve for IPv6 connections using code?

And did you use iperf with other kinds of IPs on this testbed? If yes, which kinds?

 

Kind regards,

Robin

Yes, the contents of my notebook:

Show Slice

Show FABlib Config, slice and nodes

from fabrictestbed_extensions.fablib.fablib import FablibManager as fablib_manager

fablib = fablib_manager()

fablib.show_config();

 

Set Up ExperimentSlice

Setup slice to experiment on, consisting of five nodes located on the same site running Ubuntu 22 OS Images.

slice_name=”Experiment Slice”
node1_name=”Node1″
node2_name=”Node2″
# This will be the router node
node3_name=”SR-ingress-node”
node4_name=”Source-Node”
node5_name=”Destination-Node”

# Create a slice
slice = fablib.new_slice(name=slice_name)

# Add a node
slice.add_node(name=node1_name, site=”AMST”, image=”default_ubuntu_22″)

node1 = slice.get_node(name=node1_name)
# node_location = node1.get_site()
node_location = “AMST”

slice.add_node(name=node2_name, site=node_location, image=”default_ubuntu_22″)
slice.add_node(name=node3_name, site=node_location, image=”default_ubuntu_22″)
slice.add_node(name=node4_name, site=node_location, image=”default_ubuntu_22″)
slice.add_node(name=node5_name, site=node_location, image=”default_ubuntu_22″)

 

# Submit the slice
slice.submit();

 

List the slices and their data

fablib.list_slices();

slice = fablib.get_slice(slice_name)
slice.show()

node1 = slice.get_node(name=node1_name)
node1.show()

node2 = slice.get_node(name=node2_name)
node2.show();

node3 = slice.get_node(name=node3_name)
node3.show();

node4 = slice.get_node(name=node4_name)
node4.show();

node5 = slice.get_node(name=node5_name)
node5.show();

Execute Experiment

Configure SR ingress node

Segment Routing is enabled. Now, the local SID table is created, active segments are mapped to functions (with this, the packet route is specified), the source address is set and the SRH is added onto the packet, which is then also encapsulated as SRv6 packet within the same command.

# Print addresses of the nodes
for node in slice.get_nodes():
stdout, stderr = node.execute(f’echo hostname -s : Hello! My IP is {node.get_management_ip()} :P’)

# Create localSID table
stdout, stderr = node3.execute(‘echo Create localSID table’)
stdout, stderr = node3.execute(‘echo 100 localsid | sudo tee -a /etc/iproute2/rt_tables’)

Hi Acheme!

The link to my Jupyter Notebook: https://jupyter.fabric-testbed.net/hub/user-redirect/lab/tree/jupyter-examples-rel1.5.4/SRExperiment.ipynb .

The code I use to install iperf on the SR-ingress-node and start a server via a terminal:

$ <ssh command of SR-ingress-node>
$ sudo apt install iperf
$ iperf -s

The code I use to install iperf on Node2 and start a client in a second terminal:

$ <ssh command of Node2>
$ sudo apt install iperf
$ iperf -c <management IP of SR ingress node>

In the attachement I included screenshots of both the outputs of these instructions as well as my network topology as shown in the FABRIC portal after creating it via the Jupyter Notebook.

Hi Komal,

Thank you for your quick response. I fixed the problem about a day after I posted the question by stopping my server via the Control Hub Panel.

Thanks again!
