I can't authenticate my RGs

If the RG cannot authenticate, there can be a number of issues with the system. On the one hand, it could truly be an authentication issue. For that it is best to check your RADIUS server's logs. On the other hand, it could be an issue with how authentication packets are flowing through the system.

To quickly recap, EAPOL packets from the RG reach the RADIUS server using this path:

RG --> ONU --> OLT --> trapped to VOLTHA --> packet-in to ONOS AAA app --> RADIUS server

Check VOLTHA and the PON

The first thing to check - is VOLTHA receiving trapped EAPOL packets at all? Unfortunately, the only way to do this currently is to check VOLTHA logs, by streaming it using kubectl and grepping for EAPOL ethertype 0x888e.

From a terminal where you have kubectl client, try

cord@node1:~$ kubectl logs -f -n voltha vcore-0 | grep -E "packet_indication|packet-in" | grep 888e

20180912T003237.453 DEBUG    MainThread adapter_agent.send_packet_in {adapter_name: openolt, logical_port_no: 16, logical_device_id: 000100000a5a0097, packet: 0180c200000390e2ba82fa8281000ffb888e01000009020100090175736572000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000, event: send-packet-in, instance_id: compose_voltha_1_1536712228, vcore_id: 0001}

Notice that the packet is displayed in hex, and includes the ethertype right after the VLAN tag (with ethertype 0x8100 and VLAN id 0x0ffb)

If you don't see this packet, there is something wrong with the EAPOL trap flow in the OLT or the PON setup itself (i.e. OLT + ONU). Check the state of the devices on the VOLTHA cli.

Connect to the VOLTHA CLI and check the devices:

Notice that the EAPOL flow 0x888e corresponds to the UNI port 30736 and has a directive to send to CONTROLLER. Check 'ports' on the logical device to ensure that the UNI port corresponds to the correct ONU (via Serial Number) that connects to your RG.

Notice that the 1 EAPOL flow in the logical device, becomes 2 flows in the physical device, one from UNI port to CONTROLLER and the other from CONTROLLER to UNI port. The former shows the ethertype 0x888e, and the latter does not, but both are necessary. Furthermore, the VLANs in the display are default VLANs used by the openolt adaptor - don't worry about them.

If all this looks good, there is a possibility that your RG is connected to the ONU on the wrong LAN port. On the ONU there are typically 4 LAN ports marked LAN 1 through LAN 4. Your RG should be connected to LAN 1. Sometimes the internal naming could be reversed, so you could try switching the RG to LAN 4.

For more low level ONU debugging consider: https://guide.opencord.org/openolt/#why-does-the-broadcom-onu-not-forward-eapol-packets

Check ONOS AAA app state

If EAPOL packets are indeed making their way through VOLTHA, then check what's happening in ONOS. At this time we do not have counters for AAA state machine transactions.

Connect to the ONOS CLI and check the logs

In a working authentication transaction, you should see the logs above for the RG on the UNI port of:000000000a5a007a/30736 where the of:000000000a5a007a is the logical device representation of the PON provided by VOLTHA to ONOS, and 30736 is the UNI port. You can also check the state in the 'aaa-users' command

nos> aaa-users
UserName=user,CurrentState=AUTHORIZED,DeviceId=of:000000000a5a007a,MAC=90:E2:BA:82:F9:75,PortNumber=30736,SubscriberId=PON 1/1/04/1:1.1.1

In the non-working case, you should see WARNINGs or ERRORs. There is one possibility where you may not see any errors - this typically happens in State 1 of the AAA state machine. Essentially, the RG (supplicant) sends an EAPOL_START message to the Authenticator (ONOS), and the AAA app sends an EAPOL_IDENTITY_REQUEST back to the RG. If this packet never reaches the RG, then the state machine will not proceed.

Go back to VOLTHA and ensure that the packet is making its way back to the OLT.

cord@node1:~$ kubectl logs -f -n voltha vcore-0 | grep -E "sending-packet-to-ONU" | grep 888e

You should see an EAPOL packet (0x888e) being sent to the ONU in the logs. If you do see this, consider doing a tcpdump in your RG to ensure that this packet is making it all the way to the RG.

Connectivity to RADIUS server

If instead you see in the ONOS logs that the state machine is stuck in State 2, it means that the EAPOL_IDENTITY_REQUEST successfully reached the RG, and the RG responded with an EAPOL_IDENTITY_REPLY which reached ONOS, causing the state machine to move on from STARTED to PENDING state. At this point, the identity reply is packaged into a RADIUS packet and sent to the RADIUS server by the AAA app.

The last hop from the AAA app in ONOS to the RADIUS server happens over the management network. In a deployment it is entirely possible that the RADIUS server is outside the SEBA pod, which means that you need to ensure that the POD has connectivity to the server and that you have correctly configured details of the server in the pod.
