IF Plugin

The ifplugin is a Core Agent Plugin for configuration of NICs, memifs, VXLANs and loopback interfaces.

The plugin watches the northbound configuration of network interfaces, which is modelled by interfaces proto file and stored in ETCD under the following key:

/vnf-agent/<agent-label>/vpp/config/v1/interface/<interface-name>

This northbound configuration is translated to a sequence of binary API calls (using GOVPP library). Replies from the VPP are processed sequentially, i.e. one by one.

Internally in VPP, each newly created interface is assigned a unique integer for identification and future references. This integer is denoted as sw_if_index, and the agent will learn it from a VPP response to a successfully created interface (of any kind). The agent, however, needs to decouple the control plane from sw_if_index to be able to configure multiple inter-dependent objects in one transaction. For example, multiple interfaces may all be created in one transaction, together with objects that depend on them, such as L2 FIB entries, L3 routing, ACLs, etc. It is, however, not possible to describe the dependencies without knowing the identifiers of interfaces in advance. Furthermore, certain interface parameters cannot be modified once the interface was created. In order to reflect a configuration change, it may be necessary to re-create the interface in VPP with the new configuration. The new instance of the interface, however, may be assigned a different sw_if_index. All pre-existing references to this interface that would be based on sw_if_index are thus invalidated by this operation.

In order to address the limitations of VPP sw_if_index, the control plane defines a unique logical name for each network interface and uses it as a reference from dependent objects. The agent receives a logical name from a northbound configuration and calls the specific binary API (e.g. "Create NIC") to obtain sw_if_idx. The agent then maintains a one-to-one mapping between the logical name and its respective sw_if_index in a registry called NameIdx. Later, if/when the interface configuration changes, the new sw_if_idx can be looked up by its logical name and used in an up-to-date reference.

The following sequence diagrams describe the high-level behavior of the ifplugin.

Create one MEMIF (one part of the link)

... -> ifpluign : Create ietf-interface (MEMIF)
ifplugin -> GOVPP : Create MEMIF
ifplugin <-- GOVPP : sw_if_index + success/err
ifplugin -> NameIdx : register sw_if_index by name
ifplugin <-- NameIdx : success/err
ifplugin -> GOVPP : IF admin up
ifplugin <-- GOVPP : success/err
ifplugin -> GOVPP : ADD IP address
ifplugin <-- GOVPP : success/err

Update MEMIF IP addresses

... -> ifplugin : Update ietf-interface (MEMIF, IP addresses)
ifplugin -> NameIdx : lookup sw_if_index by name
ifplugin <-- NameIdx : sw_if_index / not found
ifplugin -> Calculate the delta (what IP address was added or deleted)
ifplugin -> GOVPP : (un)assign IP address(es) to the MEMIF with specific sw_if_idx
ifplugin <-- GOVPP : success/err
ifplugin -> GOVPP : VRF
ifplugin <-- GOVPP : success/err

Delete one MEMIF interface

... -> ifplugin : Remove ietf-interfaces (MEMIF)
ifplugin -> NameIdx : lookup sw_if_index by name
ifplugin <-- NameIdx : sw_if_index / not found
ifplugin -> Calculate the delta (what IP address needs to be deleted)
ifplugin -> GOVPP : delete MEMIF with the specific sw_if_idx
ifplugin <-- GOVPP : success/err
ifplugin -> GOVPP : VRF
ifplugin <-- GOVPP : success/err

JSON configuration example with vpp-agent-ctl

An example of interface configuration for MEMIF in JSON format can be found here.

To insert config into etcd in JSON format vpp-agent-ctl can be used. For example, to configure interface memif1 in vpp labeled vpp1, use the configuration in the memif.json file and run the following vpp-agent-ctl command:

vpp-agent-ctl -put "/vnf-agent/vpp1/vpp/config/v1/interface/memif1" memif.json

Inbuilt configuration example with vpp-agent-ctl

The vpp-agent-ctl binary also ships with some simple predefined ietf-interface configurations. This is intended solely for testing purposes.

To create a master memif with IP address 192.168.42.1, run:

vpp-agent-ctl -cmm

To turn the memif from master to slave and change the IP address from 192.168.42.1 to 192.168.42.2, invoke:

vpp-agent-ctl -cms

Note: As it is not possible to change the operating mode of memif interface once it was created, the agent must first remove the existing interface and then create a new instance of memif in slave mode.

To remove the interface, run:

vpp-agent-ctl -dmm

Similarly, vpp-agent-ctl offers commands to create, change and delete VXLANs, tap and loopback interfaces with predefined configurations. Run vpp-agent-ctl with no arguments to get the list of all available commands. The documentation for vpp-agent-ctl is incomplete right now, and the only way to find out what a given command does is to study the source code itself.

Bidirectional Forwarding Detection

iflplugin is also able to configure BFD sessions, authentication keys and echo function.

BFD is modelled by bfd proto file. Every part of BFD is stored in ETCD under unique. Every BFD session is stored under following key:

/vnf-agent/{agent-label}/vpp/config/v1/bfd/session/{session-name}

Every created authentication key, which can be used in sessions is stored under:

/vnf-agent/{agent-label}/vpp/config/v1/bfd/auth-key/{key-name}

If echo function is configured, it can be found under key:

/vnf-agent/{agent-label}/vpp/config/v1/bfd/echo-function

Each newly created BFD element is assigned an integer for identification (the same concept as with interfaces). There are several mappings used for every BFD configuration part. bfd_session_index is used for BFD sessions, bfd_keys_index for authentication keys and echo function index is stored in bfd_echo_function_index.

Configuration example with vpp-agent-ctl using JSON

// todo

Inbuilt configuration example with vpp-agent-ctl

Use predefined vpp-agent-ctl configurations:

Create BFD session

vpp-agent-ctl -bfds

Note: BFD session requires interface over which session will be created. This interface has to contain IP address defined also as BFD session source address. Authentication is assigned only if particular key (defined in BFD session) already exists

Create BFD authentication key

vpp-agent-ctl -bfdk

Set up Echo Function

vpp-agent-ctl -bfde

To remove any part of BFD configuration, just add d before vpp-agent-ctl suffix (for example -dbfds to remove BFD session). Keep in mind that authentication key cannot be removed (or modified) if it is used in any BFD session.
