Troubleshooting

Having troubles deploying or running E-CORD? You have come to the right place.

Reset the nodes

Through these steps we will bring all your pods back to a clean state.
You will need the reset scripts under:

CORD_ROOT/orchestration/profiles/ecord/examples/

Global node

Let's start with the global node.

Reset Step

  • SSH into the global node
  • execute these commands
      cd CORD_ROOT/orchestration/profiles/ecord/examples/
      chmod +x reset-global.sh 
      ./reset-global.sh YOUR_GLOBAL_NODE_IP YOUR_PROPER_PATH_TO_THE_GLOBAL_JSON_CONFIG_FILE
    
    an example of the last command is:
      ./reset-global.sh 127.0.0.1 ~/global-onos-fabric.json
    

Check Step

Once the reset step is finished we can check if the state is what we expect.

XOS
  • Login into the XOS UI at:
      http://<YOUR_GLOBAL_NODE_IP>/xos
    
  • Click on the vNaaS tab on the left
  • Click on Ethernet Virtual Lines and make sure nothing is there
  • Click on Bandwidth Profiles and make sure there is at least one bandwidth profile
  • Click on User Network Interfaces and make sure there that your UNIs are present
ONOS
  • Log into ONOS_CORD: ssh -p 8102 onos@onos-cord
  • In the ONOS CLI (onos>) verify that apps are loaded: apps -a -s
    The list of applications enabled should include:
      org.opencord.ce.api
      org.opencord.ce.global
    

Local Node(s)

Let's continue with all your local pods.

Reset Step

  • SSH into the local head node
  • exectue these commands
      cd CORD_ROOT/orchestration/profiles/ecord/examples/
      chmod +x reset-local.sh 
      ./reset-local.sh YOUR_LOCAL_NODE_IP YOUR_PATH_TO_ONOS_FABRIC_JSON_CONFIG_FILE YOUR_PATH_TO_THE_ONOS_CORD_JSON_CONFIG_FILE
    
    an example of the last one is:
      ./reset-local.sh 127.0.0.1 ~/local-1-onos-fabric.json ~/local-1-onos-cord.json
    

Check Step

Once the reset step is finished we can check if the state is what we expect.

ONOS Fabric

Let's start with the ONOS_CORD.

  • Log into ONOS_Fabric: ssh -p 8101 onos@onos-fabric
  • In the ONOS CLI (onos>) verify that apps are loaded: apps -a -s
    The list of applications enabled should include:
      org.onosproject.segmentrouting
      org.opencord.ce.api
      org.opencord.ce.local.bigswitch
      org.opencord.ce.local.channel.http
      org.opencord.ce.local.fabric
    
  • Check that the BigSwitchManager configuration is properly set by typing
      cfg get org.opencord.ce.local.bigswitch.BigSwitchManager
    
    The output should be:
      org.opencord.ce.local.bigswitch.BigSwitchManager
      name=domainId, type=string, value=<YOUR_LOCAL_NODE_IP>-fabric-onos, defaultValue=local-domain, description=Domain ID where this ONOS is running
    
ONOS CORD

Let's now take a look at the ONOS_CORD.

  • Log into ONOS_CORD: ssh -p 8102 onos@onos-cord
  • Verify that apps are loaded: apps -a -s
    The list of applications enabled should include:

      org.onosproject.drivers.microsemi
      org.onosproject.cfm
      org.opencord.ce.api
      org.opencord.ce.local.bigswitch
      org.opencord.ce.local.channel.http
      org.opencord.ce.local.vee
    
  • Verify that at least 3 devices, a netconf one and two openflow are presentbyt typing devices in the ONOS CLI.
    An example is:

      onos> devices
      id=netconf:10.6.0.160:830, available=true, local-status=connected 34s ago, role=MASTER, type=SWITCH, mfr=Microsemi, hw=EA1000, sw=2.6.33-arm1-MSEA1000--00392-ge9ee017.1.0.0.96-dirty, serial=SJC162300029    , driver=microsemi-netconf, ipaddress=10.6.0.160, locType=geo, name=netconf:10.6.0.160:830, port=830, protocol=NETCONF
      id=of:0000001e08095936, available=true, local-status=connected 1m53s ago, role=MASTER, type=SWITCH, mfr=2004-2015 Centec Networks Inc, hw=48T4X, sw=3.1.16.17.alpha, serial=E101ZB141004, driver=default, channelId=10.6.0.150:48073, managementAddress=10.6.0.150, protocol=OF_13
      id=of:00003cfdfe9df039, available=true, local-status=connected 1m53s ago, role=MASTER, type=SWITCH, mfr=Nicira, Inc., hw=Open vSwitch, sw=2.3.2, serial=None, driver=ovs, channelId=10.6.0.14:34793, managementAddress=10.6.0.14, protocol=OF_13
    
  • Check that the BigswitchManagerConfiguration is properly set by typing
      cfg get org.opencord.ce.local.bigswitch.BigSwitchManager
    
    The output should be:
      org.opencord.ce.local.bigswitch.BigSwitchManager
      name=domainId, type=string, value=<YOUR_LOCAL_NODE_IP>-fabric-onos, defaultValue=local-domain, description=Domain ID where this ONOS is running
    
  • Check that the BigswitchManagerConfiguration is properly set by typing
      cfg get org.onosproject.netconf.ctl.impl.NetconfControllerImpl
    
    The output should be:
      org.onosproject.netconf.ctl.impl.NetconfControllerImpl
          name=sshLibrary, type=string, value=apache_mina, defaultValue=apache_mina, description=Ssh Llbrary instead of Apache Mina (i.e. ethz-ssh2
          name=netconfConnectTimeout, type=integer, value=120, defaultValue=5, description=Time (in seconds) to wait for a NETCONF connect.
          name=netconfReplyTimeout, type=integer, value=120, defaultValue=5, description=Time (in seconds) waiting for a NetConf reply
    

UNI Configuration assurance

Before pushing the UNI there is one last set of checks to make to be sure the state is properly configured:

  • SSH into the global node
  • Log in the global ONOS: ssh -p 8102 onos@onos-cord
  • type bigswitch-ports
  • find the port where mefPortType=UNI and write down its port number.
    An example is
      onos> bigswitch-ports
      DefaultPortDescription{number=1, isEnabled=true, type=FIBER, portSpeed=1000, annotations={interlinkId=EE-1-to-fabric, portName=eth-0-50, mefPortType=INNI, portMac=00:1e:08:09:59:69, domainId=10.90.1.30-cord-onos}}
      DefaultPortDescription{number=2, isEnabled=true, type=FIBER, portSpeed=1000, annotations={portName=Optics, mefPortType=UNI, domainId=10.90.1.30-cord-onos}}
    
    Where UNI port is number 2
  • log into the XOS UI.
      http://<YOUR_GLOBAL_NODE_IP>/xos
    
  • Click on the vNaaS tab on the left
  • Click on User Network Interfaces
  • Please make sure the port number (the number after the / in the Cpe id) matches what you wrote down. If not, press the hour glass at the far right and edit the number after the / making it match yours. Then on the bottom right click the save and you are done.

RESET Successful

At this point you should be again in a clean state with all the configuration properly pushed.

Data Plane Debugging

So you have successfully set up the EVC in the CORD UI. And yet when you try to ping, traffic does not seem to go through. Here we will walk you through the different steps to check if and where the data path is failing.

  1. First you want to check the flow rules on the MicroSemi SFP. To do that, log into the ONOS CORD instance on the pod. You can use the UI (port 8182) or the CLI (port 8102). You should see a flow rule that matches on the c-tag (you specified it when creating the EVC) and pushes the s-tag (this is automatically allocated) on top. A second rule reverses this process: match on s-tag and pop it off. This is all we can verify for this part of the data path, as the Microsemi driver does not support port or flow stats (thus we cannot confirm if the packets are actually hitting the device).

  2. The next step is to verify the Ethernet edge (Centec in our case) switch. This one is also controlled by the same ONOS CORD instance from the previous step. First, check if a meter has been installed on the switch; the parameters should match the bandwidth profile you selected when provisioning the EVC. Next, you should also see a flow rule that matches on the s-tag and outputs to the fabric port. A second flow rule does the same for the reverse path. You can also look at the port counters of the Ethernet edge and confirm that both the input port (where the SFP is connected) and the output port (where the fabric is connected) are steadily incrementing as you'd expect from your ping.

  3. To check the fabric data path, start by connecting to the ONOS FABRIC instance. This time you will need to connect to the CLI (port 8101). First check if the VLAN cross connect is properly installed, by checking the output of the netcfg command. Search for the xconnect configuration for org.onosproject.segmentrouting, then verify (1) the given vlan corresponds to the s-tag, and (2) the given ports connect the fabric to the Ethernet edge and to the transport/next CO. Afterwards, check the output of the flows command, where you can see how the VLAN cross connect gets instantiated in the switch's tables. Again, check the input/output ports and the VLAN ID. You can also relate this to the output of the groups command. An example output is given below.
