OpenVNet test tools with network namespace

Tested Environment

  • CentOS 6.5
  • kernel-2.6.32-431.1.2.0.1.el6.x86_64 (CentOS 6.5 latest)

Network Namespace

In CentOS 6.x, network namespace is not supported, so we need to additional packages to use network namespace. OpenStack RDO provides network namespace aware kernel and iproute.

CentOS 6.5

In CentOS 6.5, kernel itself supports network namespace, but iproute does not support network namespace (no "netns" subcommand).

The following commands setup OpenStack RDO release repository to /etc/yum.repos.d and "yum update" installs a new version of iproute (which supports network namespace),

# yum install http://rdo.fedorapeople.org/rdo-release.rpm
# yum install iproute

or you can install iproute package explicitly.

# yum install http://rdo.fedorapeople.org/rdo-release.rpm

After the installation, check the appropriate iproute package is installed and it works.

# rpm -qa | grep iproute
iproute-2.6.32-130.el6ost.netns.2.x86_64
# ip netns
# ip netns add testns1
# ip netns
testns1
# ip netns delete testns1

CentOS 6.4 or older

I have not tested these version, but ROD provides network namespace aware kernel. The packages are available at: http://repos.fedorapeople.org/repos/openstack/openstack-havana/epel-6/

How to run

Install OpenVNet

Follow OpenVNet install guide: https://github.com/axsh/openvnet/blob/master/InstallGuide.md No need to go "Let's try 1Box OpenVNet" section.

Make sure to start redis before starting OpenVNet services:

# chkconfig redis on
# service redis start

Try OpenVNet with network namespaces

Register various OpenVNet resources.

# ./vnet-register-all.sh
  • vnet-register-datapath.sh : Create OpenFlow datapath
  • vnet-register-net1.sh : Create three virtual networks net1
    • net1 : 172.16.1.0/24
  • vnet-register-net2.sh : Create three virtual networks net2
    • net2 : 172.16.2.0/24
  • vnet-register-net3.sh : Create three virtual networks net3
    • net3 : 172.16.1.0/24 (IP address range is overlaped with net1)
  • vnet-register-router.sh
    • Create a router between net1 and net2

Setup OVS datapath and create interfaces connected to OVS bridge

# ./ovs-create.sh
# ./if-create.sh

After running the above scripts, you can see the following. You can see 6 network namespaces and 6 veth interfaces are connected to OVS bridge br0. OVS bridge br0 is connected to OpenVNet agent (vnet-vna) with OpenFlow protocol (is_conncted: true).

We need to setup additional route information in each network namespaces. It is already done by if-create.sh script.

ping from 172.16.1.1 (ns1) to 172.16.2.3 (ns3). You will see ARP replies from 172.16.2.3 if it works well.

Utilities

Reinitialize OpenVNet and network namespaces.

# ./if-delete.sh
# ./ovs-delete.sh
# ./vnet-all.sh resetdb

"vnet-all.sh resetdb" does the following:

  • Stop all openvnet services
  • Drop "vnet" database
  • Create "vnet" database
  • Populate openvnet tables to "vnet" database
  • Remove OpenVNet logs in /var/log/wakame-vnet
  • Start all openvnet services

vnctl.sh

It is a wrapper of /opt/axsh/wakame-vnet/vnctl/bin/vnctl. After running vnctl command, it formats the outputs of vnctl to human-friendly format. If you want raw output of vnctl, please comment out DO_FORMAT=True.

# ./vnctl.sh datapath show
{"id"=>1,
 "uuid"=>"dp-br0",
 "display_name"=>"br0",
 "is_connected"=>false,
 "dpid"=>"0x000002fdee8e0a44",
 "dc_segment_id"=>nil,
 "ipv4_address"=>3232266959,
 "node_id"=>"vnet3",
 "created_at"=>"2013-12-23T13:08:11Z",
 "updated_at"=>"2013-12-23T13:08:11Z",
 "dc_segment"=>nil}

dump-flows.sh

It is a wrapper of /opt/axsh/wakame-vnet/vnctl/bin/vnflows. OpenVNet installs MANY MANY flow entries to OVS bridge :-) and it helps us to debug flows.

It just runns the following:

# ovs-ofctl dump-flows br0 | ./bin/vnflows
