Installing and Running GBP with Cisco APIC

The following are a set of instructions for installing and working with the Cisco APIC:

Devstack Installation

1. Follow the instructions here: https://github.com/group-policy/gbp-devstack/tree/juno until step 6.

2. cd devstack

3. Configure the local.conf file.

  • Replace the "resource_mapping" driver with the "apic" driver as follows:
[group_policy]
policy_drivers=implicit_policy,apic
  • Set the appropriate L3 plugin as follows in the default section:
service_plugins =group_policy,servicechain,apic_gbp_l3
  • Replace enable_service q-agt with disable_service q-agt
  • Set HOST_IP
  • Set Q_PLUGIN_EXTRA_CONF_PATH. This should point to the path where the ml2_conf_cisco.ini file resides. Note it should NOT start with a /.

4. Configure ml2_conf_cisco.ini at the path you chose. For complete instructions on available options see this document. An example file would look like this:

[DEFAULT]
# Unique Name for identifying the Openstack Cluster
apic_system_id=gbp3

[ml2_cisco_apic]
# Host Name for the APIC Controller
apic_hosts=172.31.100.1

# Username for the APIC Controller
apic_username=admin

# Password for the APIC Controller
apic_password=cisco123

# How to map  names to APIC: use_uuid or use_name
apic_name_mapping=use_name

# Switch to hypervisor port mapping
[apic_switch:101]
ubuntu-gbp=1/5 

5. pip install apicapi

6. pip install python-opflex-agent

7. ./stack.sh

8. Ensure your uplink to ACI fabric is up and a port is created on OVS.

sudo ovs-vsctl add-port br-em1 eth1

8. source openrc demo demo

9. Use the "gbp" CLI binary ("gbp --help" will give you the commands)
