Chapter 8. Configure and Test LACP Bonding with Open vSwitch DPDK

Note

OVS bonds with LACP might not be supported depending on the version of Red Hat OpenStack Platform (RHOSP) you are using. Check the product documentation to verify that OVS bonds with LACP are supported.

To use Open vSwitch DPDK to configure and test LACP bonding, complete the following tasks:

  1. Configure the switch ports for LACP.
  2. Configure Linux kernel bonding for LACP as a baseline.
  3. Configure OVS DPDK bonding for LACP.
Note

This topic describes switch configuration with a Dell S4048-ON switch. Whereas configuration of RHEL and OVS remains the same, different switch vendors' operating systems will use a different syntax to configure LACP.

8.1. Configuring the Switch Ports for LACP

  1. Reset the switch interfaces to their default settings:

    S4048-ON-sw#config t
    S4048-ON-sw(conf)#default int te1/2
    S4048-ON-sw(conf)#default int te1/7
  2. Configure the port-channel and other port settings:

    S4048-ON-sw(conf)#int range te1/2,te1/7
    S4048-ON-sw(conf-if-range-te-1/2,te-1/7)#port-channel-protocol lacp
    S4048-ON-sw(conf-if-range-te-1/2,te-1/7-lacp)#
    S4048-ON-sw(conf-if-range-te-1/2,te-1/7-lacp)#port-channel 1 mode active
    S4048-ON-sw(conf-if-range-te-1/2,te-1/7-lacp)#end
    S4048-ON-sw#config t
    S4048-ON-sw(conf)#int range te1/2,te1/7
    S4048-ON-sw(conf-if-range-te-1/2,te-1/7)# no ip address
    S4048-ON-sw(conf-if-range-te-1/2,te-1/7)# mtu 9216
    S4048-ON-sw(conf-if-range-te-1/2,te-1/7)# flowcontrol rx on tx off
    S4048-ON-sw(conf-if-range-te-1/2,te-1/7)# no shutdown
    S4048-ON-sw(conf-if-range-te-1/2,te-1/7)#end
    S4048-ON-sw#show run int te1/2
    !
    interface TenGigabitEthernet 1/2
     no ip address
     mtu 9216
     flowcontrol rx on tx off
    !
     port-channel-protocol LACP
      port-channel 1 mode active
     no shutdown
  3. Configure the VLANs:

    S4048-ON-sw#config t
    S4048-ON-sw(conf)#int range vlan901-909
    S4048-ON-sw(conf-if-range-vl-901-909)#tagged Port-channel 1
    S4048-ON-sw(conf-if-range-vl-901-909)#end
    S4048-ON-sw#
  4. Verify VLAN tagging:

    S4048-ON-sw#show vlan id 902
    
    Codes: * - Default VLAN, G - GVRP VLANs, R - Remote Port Mirroring VLANs, P - Primary, C - Community, I - Isolated
           O - Openflow, Vx - Vxlan
    Q: U - Untagged, T - Tagged
       x - Dot1x untagged, X - Dot1x tagged
       o - OpenFlow untagged, O - OpenFlow tagged
       G - GVRP tagged, M - Vlan-stack
       i - Internal untagged, I - Internal tagged, v - VLT untagged, V - VLT tagged
    
        NUM    Status    Description                     Q Ports
        902    Active    Tenant                          T Po1()
                                                         T Te 1/1,1/3-1/6,1/8-1/20
  5. Verify the LACP configuration:

    S4048-ON-sw#show lacp 1
    Port-channel 1 admin up, oper down, mode lacp
    LACP Fast Switch-Over Disabled
    Actor   System ID:  Priority 32768, Address 1418.7789.9a8a

               Oper: State ACEHJLMP Key 1 Priority 32768
      Partner is not present

8.2. Configuring Linux Kernel Bonding for LACP as a Baseline

Configure Linux kernel bonding as a baseline, then verify that the host can form an LACP bond with the switch.

  1. Move all interfaces to the kernel space and test with kernel space bonding. In this example, p1p1 maps to bus address 0000:04:00.0 and p1p2 maps to bus address 0000:04:00.1.

    [root@baremetal ~]# driverctl unset-override 0000:04:00.0
    [root@baremetal ~]# driverctl unset-override 0000:04:00.1
  2. Load the bonding driver, configure a bond interface (bond10) and enslave interfaces p1p1 and p1p2:

    [root@baremetal ~]# modprobe bonding miimon=100 mode=4 lacp_rate=1
    [root@baremetal ~]# ip link add name bond10 type bond
    [root@baremetal ~]# ifenslave bond10 p1p1 p1p2
    Illegal operation; the specified master interface 'bond10' is not up.
    [root@baremetal ~]# ip link set dev bond10 up
    [root@baremetal ~]# ifenslave bond10 p1p1 p1p2
  3. Verify LACP from RHEL:

    [root@baremetal ~]# cat /proc/net/bonding/bond10

  4. Verify LACP from the switch:

    S4048-ON-sw#show lacp 1
    Port-channel 1 admin up, oper up, mode lacp

  5. Remove the bonding configuration:

    [root@baremetal ~]# ip link del dev bond10
    [root@baremetal ~]#
Note

8.3. Configuring OVS DPDK Bonding for LACP

The next objective is to configure an LACP bond within OVS DPDK.

8.3.1. Prepare Open vSwitch

  1. Ensure that huge pages and other values are configured in RHEL:

    [root@baremetal bonding]# cat /proc/cmdline
    BOOT_IMAGE=/boot/vmlinuz-3.10.0-693.17.1.el7.x86_64 root=UUID=fa414390-f78d-49d4-a164-54615a32977b ro console=tty0

    nohz=on nohz_full=2,4,6,8,10,12,14,16,18,22,24,26,28,30,32,34,36,38,3,5,7,9,11,13,15,17,19,23,25,27,29,31,33,35,37,39
    rcu_nocbs=2,4,6,8,10,12,14,16,18,22,24,26,28,30,32,34,36,38,3,5,7,9,11,13,15,17,19,23,25,27,29,31,33,35,37,39
    tuned.non_isolcpus=00300003 intel_pstate=disable nosoftlockup
  2. Configure OVS for DPDK:

    [root@baremetal bonding]# ovs-vsctl list Open_vSwitch | grep other
    other_config        : {}
    [root@baremetal bonding]# ovs-vsctl --no-wait set Open_vSwitch . other_config:pmd-cpu-mask=0x17c0017c
    [root@baremetal bonding]# ovs-vsctl --no-wait set Open_vSwitch . other_config:dpdk-lcore-mask=0x00000001
    [root@baremetal bonding]# ovs-vsctl --no-wait set Open_vSwitch . other_config:dpdk-init="true"
  3. Switch interfaces into user space:

    [root@baremetal bonding]# ethtool -i p1p1 | grep bus
    bus-info: 0000:04:00.0
    [root@baremetal bonding]# ethtool -i p1p2 | grep bus
    bus-info: 0000:04:00.1
    [root@baremetal bonding]# driverctl set-override 0000:04:00.0 vfio-pci
    [root@baremetal bonding]# driverctl set-override 0000:04:00.1 vfio-pci
  4. Restart Open vSwitch, journalctl -u ovs-vswitchd -f & running in the background:

    [root@baremetal bonding]# systemctl restart openvswitch

8.3.2. Configure LACP Bond

  1. Add the bond:

    [root@baremetal bonding]# ovs-vsctl add-br ovsbr0  -- set bridge ovsbr0  datapath_type=netdev
    [root@baremetal bonding]# ovs-vsctl add-bond ovsbr0 dpdkbond dpdk0 dpdk1     bond_mode=balance-tcp     lacp=active -- set
    interface dpdk0 type=dpdk     -- set Interface dpdk1 type=dpdk
  2. Verify from Open vSwitch:

    [root@baremetal bonding]# ovs-appctl lacp/show dpdkbond
