Uploading the Cisco CSR-1000V VNF Image for a Centralized Deployment
You use this process to make the Cisco CSR-1000V VNF available in a centralized deployment.
To create a Cisco CSR-1000V VNF image:
- Log into the Contrail controller node.
- Create a new flavor with 3 vCPUs in Contrail OpenStack.
For example:
root@host:# openstack flavor create p1.csr_flavor --ram 4096 --disk 0 --vcpus 3 - Upload the Cisco CSR-1000V image into the Glance software.
For example:
root@host:/# glance image-create --name csr1000v-img --is-public True --container-format bare --disk-format qcow2 < cisco-csr1000v-img - Create an instance of the
image called
csr1000v-imgin this directory.For example:
root@host:~/images# nova boot --flavor p1.csr_flavor --image csr1000v-img --nic net-id=MGMT_NET_ID --nic net-id=LEFT_NET_ID --nic net-id=RIGHT_NET_ID --security-group default - From the OpenStack GUI, log in to the instance using the management IP address as the username and without a password.
- Configure the following settings for the instance:
vrf definition Mgmt-intf address-family ipv4 exit-address-family enable password passw0rd ip vrf mgmt username root privilege 15 password 0 passw0rd ip ssh version 2 interface GigabitEthernet1 ip vrf forwarding mgmt ip address dhcp negotiation auto line vty 0 exec-timeout 60 0 privilege level 15 password passw0rd login local transport input telnet ssh
- Take a snapshot of the instance.
- Close the instance.
For example:
root@host:~/images# sudo shutdown -h now - From the OpenStack Instances page, select Create
Snapshot for this instance, and specify the name of the image
as
csr1000v-img.
- Close the instance.
