Hedgehog Open Network Fabric is an open networking platform that brings the user experience enjoyed by so many in the public cloud to the private environments. Without vendor lock-in.

Fabric is built around concept of VPCs (Virtual Private Clouds) similar to the public clouds and provides a multi-tenant API to define user intent on network isolation, connectivity and etc which gets automatically transformed into switches and software appliances configuration.

You can read more about concepts and architecture in the documentation.

You can find how to download and try Fabric on the self-hosted fully virtualized lab or on the hardware.

The Hedgehog Open Network Fabric is an open source network architecture that provides connectivity between virtual and physical workloads and provides a way to achieve network isolation between different groups of workloads using standar BGP EVPN and vxlan technology. The fabric provides a standard kubernetes interfaces to manage the elements in the physical network and provides a mechanism to configure virtual networks and define attachments to these virtual networks. The Hedgehog Fabric provides isolation between different groups of workloads by placing them in different virtual networks called VPC's. To achieve this we define different abstractions starting from the physical network where we define Connection which defines how a physical server on the network connects to a physical switch on the fabric.

"},{"location":"architecture/fabric/#underlay-network","title":"Underlay Network","text":"

The Hedgehog Fabric currently support two underlay network topologies.

"},{"location":"architecture/fabric/#collapsed-core","title":"Collapsed Core","text":"

A collapsed core topology is just a pair of switches connected in a mclag configuration with no other network elements. All workloads attach to these two switches.

The leaf's in this setup are configured to be in a mclag pair and servers can either be connected to both switches as a mclag port channel or as orphan ports connected to only one switch. both the leaves peer to external networks using BGP and act as gateway for workloads attached to them. The configuration of the underlay in the collapsed core is very simple and is ideal for very small deployments.

"},{"location":"architecture/fabric/#spine-leaf","title":"Spine - Leaf","text":"

A spine-leaf topology is a standard clos network with workloads attaching to leaf switches and spines providing connectivity between different leaves.

This kind of topology is useful for bigger deployments and provides all the advantages of a typical clos network. The underlay network is established using eBGP where each leaf has a separate ASN and peers will all spines in the network. We used RFC7938 as the reference for establishing the underlay network.

"},{"location":"architecture/fabric/#overlay-network","title":"Overlay Network","text":"

The overlay network runs on top the underlay network to create a virtual network. The overlay network isolates control and data plane traffic between different virtual networks and the underlay network. Vitualization is achieved in the hedgehog fabric by encapsulating workload traffic over vxlan tunnels that are source and terminated on the leaf switches in the network. The fabric using BGP-EVPN/Vxlan to enable creation and management of virtual networks on top of the virtual. The fabric supports multiple virtual networks over the same underlay network to support multi-tenancy. Each virtual network in the hedgehog fabric is identified by a VPC. In the following sections we will dive a bit deeper into a high level overview of how are vpc's implemented in the hedgehog fabric and it's associated objects.

"},{"location":"architecture/fabric/#vpc","title":"VPC","text":"

We know what is a VPC and how to attach workloads to a specific VPC. Let us now take a look at how is this actually implemented on the network to provice the view of a private network.

To enable communication between 2 different VPC's we need to configure a VPC peering policy. The hedgehog fabric supports two different peering modes.

Hedgehog Open Network Fabric is build on top of Kubernetes and uses Kubernetes API to manage its resources. It means that all user-facing APIs are Kubernetes Custom Resources (CRDs) and so you can use standard Kubernetes tools to manage Fabric resources.

Hedgehog Fabric consists of the following components:

"},{"location":"concepts/overview/#fabric-api","title":"Fabric API","text":"

All infrastructure is represented as a set of Fabric resource (Kubernetes CRDs) and named Wiring Diagram. It allows to define switches, servers, control nodes, external systems and connections between them in a single place and then use it to deploy and manage the whole infrastructure. On top of it Fabric provides a set of APIs to manage the VPCs and connections between them and between VPCs and External systems.

This chapter is dedicated to the Hedgehog Fabric installation on the bare-metal control node(s) and switches, their preparation and configuration.

Please, get hhfab installed following instructions from the Download section.

Main steps to install Fabric are:

  1. Install hhfab on the machines with access to internet
    1. Prepare Wiring Diagram
    2. Select Fabric Configuration
    3. Build Control Node configuration and installer
  2. Install Control Node
    1. Install Flatcar Linux on the Control Node
    2. Upload and run Control Node installer on the Control Node
  3. Prepare supported switches
    1. Install Hedgehog ONiE (HONiE) on them
    2. Reboot them into ONiE Install Mode and they will be automatically provisioned
"},{"location":"install-upgrade/overview/#build-control-node-configuration-and-installer","title":"Build Control Node configuration and installer","text":"

It's the only step that requires internet access to download artifacts and build installer.

Once you've prepated Wiring Diagram, you can initialize Fabricator by running hhfab init command and passwing optional configuration into it as well as wiring diagram file(s) as flags. Additionally, there are a lot of customizations availble as flags, e.g. to setup default credentials, keys and etc, please, refer to hhfab init --help for more.

The --dev options allows to enable development mode which will enable default credentials and keys for the Control Node and switches:

Alternatively, you can pass your own credentials and keys using --authorized-key and --control-password-hash flags. Password hash can be generated using openssl passwd -5 command. Further customizations are available in the config file that could be passed using --config flag.

hhfab init --preset lab --dev --wiring file1.yaml --wiring file2.yaml\nhhfab build\n

As a result, you will get the following files in the .hhfab directory or the one you've passed using --basedir flag:

"},{"location":"install-upgrade/overview/#install-control-node","title":"Install Control Node","text":"

It's fully air-gapped installation and doesn't require internet access.

Please, download latest stable Flatcar Container Linux ISO from the link and boot into it (using IPMI attaching media, USB stick or any other way).

Once you've booted into the Flatcar installer, you need to download ignition.json built in the prvious step to it and run Flatcar installation:

sudo flatcar-install -d /dev/sda -i ignition.json\n

Where /dev/sda is a disk you want to install Control Node to and ignition.json is the control-os/ignition.json file from previous step downloaded to the Flatcar installer.

Once the installation is finished, reboot the machine and wait for it to boot into the installed Flatcar Linux.

At that point, you should get into the installed Flatcar Linux using the dev or provided credentials with user core and you can now install Hedgehog Open Network Fabric on it. Download control-install.tgz to the just installed Control Node (e.g. by using scp) and run it.

tar xzf control-install.tgz && cd control-install && sudo ./hhfab-recipe run\n

It'll output log of installing the Fabric (including Kubernetes cluster, OCI registry misc components and etc), you should see following output in the end:

...\n01:34:45 INF Running name=reloader-image op=\"push fabricator/reloader:v1.0.40\"\n01:34:47 INF Running name=reloader-chart op=\"push fabricator/charts/reloader:1.0.40\"\n01:34:47 INF Running name=reloader-install op=\"file /var/lib/rancher/k3s/server/manifests/hh-reloader-install.yaml\"\n01:34:47 INF Running name=reloader-wait op=\"wait deployment/reloader-reloader\"\ndeployment.apps/reloader-reloader condition met\n01:35:15 INF Done took=3m39.586394608s\n

At that point, you can start interacting with the Fabric using kubectl, kubectl fabric and k9s preinstalled as part of the Control Node installer.

You can now get HONiE installed on your switches and reboot them into ONiE Install Mode and they will be automatically provisioned from the Control Node.

VPC egress/ingress is pinned to a specific group of the border or mixed leaf switches. Multiple \u201cexternal systems\u201d with multiple devices/links in each of them are supported.

The user controls what subnets/prefixes to import and export from/to the external system.

No NAT function is supported for external peering.

The default topology is Spine-Leaf with 2 spines, 2 MCLAG leafs and 1 non-MCLAG leaf. Optionally, you can choose to run default Collapsed Core topology using --fabric-mode collapsed-core (or -m collapsed-core) flag which only conisists of 2 switches.

For more details on the customizing topologies see Running VLAB section.

In the default topology, the following Control Node and Switch VMs are created:

graph TD\n    CN[Control Node]\n\n    S1[Spine 1]\n    S2[Spine 2]\n\n    L1[MCLAG Leaf 1]\n    L2[MCLAG Leaf 2]\n    L3[Leaf 3]\n\n    CN --> L1\n    CN --> L2\n\n    S1 --> L1\n    S1 --> L2\n    S2 --> L2\n    S2 --> L3

As well as test servers:

You can create and attach VPCs to the VMs using the kubectl fabric vpc command on control node or outside of cluster using the kubeconfig. For example, run following commands to create a 2 VPCs with a single subnet each, DHCP server enabled with optional IP address range start defined and attach them to some test servers:

core@control-1 ~ $ kubectl get conn | grep server\nserver-01--mclag--leaf-01--leaf-02   mclag          5h13m\nserver-02--mclag--leaf-01--leaf-02   mclag          5h13m\nserver-03--unbundled--leaf-01        unbundled      5h13m\nserver-04--bundled--leaf-02          bundled        5h13m\nserver-05--unbundled--leaf-03        unbundled      5h13m\nserver-06--bundled--leaf-03          bundled        5h13m\n\ncore@control-1 ~ $ kubectl fabric vpc create --name vpc-1 --subnet 10.0.1.0/24 --vlan 1001 --dhcp --dhcp-start 10.0.1.10\n06:48:46 INF VPC created name=vpc-1\n\ncore@control-1 ~ $ kubectl fabric vpc create --name vpc-2 --subnet 10.0.2.0/24 --vlan 1002 --dhcp --dhcp-start 10.0.2.10\n06:49:04 INF VPC created name=vpc-2\n\ncore@control-1 ~ $ kubectl fabric vpc attach --vpc-subnet vpc-1/default --connection server-01--mclag--leaf-01--leaf-02\n06:49:24 INF VPCAttachment created name=vpc-1--default--server-01--mclag--leaf-01--leaf-02\n\ncore@control-1 ~ $ kubectl fabric vpc attach --vpc-subnet vpc-2/default --connection server-02--mclag--leaf-01--leaf-02\n06:49:34 INF VPCAttachment created name=vpc-2--default--server-02--mclag--leaf-01--leaf-02\n

VPC subnet should belong to some IPv4Namespace, default one in the VLAB is 10.0.0.0/16:

core@control-1 ~ $ kubectl get ipns\nNAME      SUBNETS           AGE\ndefault   [\"10.0.0.0/16\"]   5h14m\n

After you created VPCs and VPCAttachments, you can check the status of the agents to make sure that requested configuration was apploed to the switches:

You can use hhfab vlab ssh on the host to ssh into the test servers and configure networking there. For example, for both server-01 (MCLAG attached to both leaf-01 and leaf-02) we need to configure bond with a vlan on top of it and for the server-05 (single-homed unbundled attached to leaf-03) we need to configure just a vlan and they both will get an IP address from the DHCP server. You can use ip command to configure networking on the servers or use little helper preinstalled by Fabricator on test servers.

It's possible to run Hedgehog Fabric in a fully virtual environment using QEMU/KVM and SONiC Virtual Switch (VS). It's a great way to try out Fabric and learn about its looka and feel, API, capabilities and etc. It's not suitable for any data plane or performance testing as well as not for production use.

In the VLAB all switches will start as an empty VMs with only ONiE image on them and will go through the whole discovery, boot and installation process like on the real hardware.

The hhfab CLI provides a special command vlab to manage the virtual labs. It allows to run set of virtual machines to simulate the Fabric infrastructure including control node, switches, test servers and automatically runs installer to get Fabric up and running.

Currently, it's only tested on Ubuntu 22.04 LTS, but should work on any Linux distribution with QEMU/KVM support and fairly up-to-date packages.

Following packages needs to be installed: qemu-kvm swtpm-tools tpm2-tools socat and docker will be required to login into OCI registry.

By default, VLAB topology is Spine-Leaf with 2 spines, 2 MCLAG leafs and 1 non-MCLAG leaf. Optionally, you can choose to run default Collapsed Core topology using --fabric-mode collapsed-core (or -m collapsed-core) flag which only conisists of 2 switches.

You can calculate the system requirements based on the allocated resources to the VMs using the following table:

Device vCPU RAM Disk Control Node 6 6GB 100GB Test Server 2 768MB 10GB Switch 4 5GB 50GB

Which gives approximately the following requirements for the default topologies:

Usually, non of the VMs will reach 100% utilization of the allocated resources, but as a rule of thumb you should make sure that you have at least allocated RAM and disk space for all VMs.

NVMe SSD for VM disks is highly recommended.

As a first step you need to initialize Fabricator for the VLAB by running hhfab init --preset vlab (or -p vlab). It supports a lot of customization options which you can find by adding --help to the command. If you want to tune the topology used for the VLAB you can use --fabric-mode (or -m) flag to choose between spine-leaf (default) and collapsed-core topologies as well as you can configure the number of spines, leafs, connections and etc. For example, --spines-count and --mclag-leafs-count flags allows to set number of spines and MCLAG leafs respectively.

So, by default you'll get 2 spines, 2 MCLAG leafs and 1 non-MCLAG leaf with 2 fabric connections (between each spine and leaf), 2 MCLAG peer links and 2 MCLAG session links as well as 2 loopbacks per leaf for implementing VPC Loopback workaround.

Heartbeat column shows how long ago the switch has sent the heartbeat to the control node. Applied column shows how long ago the switch has applied the configuration. AppliedG shows the generation of the configuration applied. CurrentG shows the generation of the configuration the switch is supposed to run. If AppliedG and CurrentG are different it means that the switch is in the process of applying the configuration.

At that point Fabric is ready and you can use kubectl and kubectl fabric to manage the Fabric. You can find more about it in the Running Demo and User Guide sections.

Hedgehog Open Network Fabric is an open networking platform that brings the user experience enjoyed by so many in the public cloud to the private environments. Without vendor lock-in.

Fabric is built around concept of VPCs (Virtual Private Clouds) similar to the public clouds and provides a multi-tenant API to define user intent on network isolation, connectivity and etc which gets automatically transformed into switches and software appliances configuration.

You can read more about concepts and architecture in the documentation.

You can find how to download and try Fabric on the self-hosted fully virtualized lab or on the hardware.

"},{"location":"architecture/fabric/","title":"Hedgehog Network Fabric","text":"

The Hedgehog Open Network Fabric is an open source network architecture that provides connectivity between virtual and physical workloads and provides a way to achieve network isolation between different groups of workloads using standar BGP EVPN and vxlan technology. The fabric provides a standard kubernetes interfaces to manage the elements in the physical network and provides a mechanism to configure virtual networks and define attachments to these virtual networks. The Hedgehog Fabric provides isolation between different groups of workloads by placing them in different virtual networks called VPC's. To achieve this we define different abstractions starting from the physical network where we define Connection which defines how a physical server on the network connects to a physical switch on the fabric.

"},{"location":"architecture/fabric/#underlay-network","title":"Underlay Network","text":"

The Hedgehog Fabric currently support two underlay network topologies.

"},{"location":"architecture/fabric/#collapsed-core","title":"Collapsed Core","text":"

A collapsed core topology is just a pair of switches connected in a mclag configuration with no other network elements. All workloads attach to these two switches.

The leaf's in this setup are configured to be in a mclag pair and servers can either be connected to both switches as a mclag port channel or as orphan ports connected to only one switch. both the leaves peer to external networks using BGP and act as gateway for workloads attached to them. The configuration of the underlay in the collapsed core is very simple and is ideal for very small deployments.

"},{"location":"architecture/fabric/#spine-leaf","title":"Spine - Leaf","text":"

A spine-leaf topology is a standard clos network with workloads attaching to leaf switches and spines providing connectivity between different leaves.

This kind of topology is useful for bigger deployments and provides all the advantages of a typical clos network. The underlay network is established using eBGP where each leaf has a separate ASN and peers will all spines in the network. We used RFC7938 as the reference for establishing the underlay network.

"},{"location":"architecture/fabric/#overlay-network","title":"Overlay Network","text":"

The overlay network runs on top the underlay network to create a virtual network. The overlay network isolates control and data plane traffic between different virtual networks and the underlay network. Vitualization is achieved in the hedgehog fabric by encapsulating workload traffic over vxlan tunnels that are source and terminated on the leaf switches in the network. The fabric using BGP-EVPN/Vxlan to enable creation and management of virtual networks on top of the virtual. The fabric supports multiple virtual networks over the same underlay network to support multi-tenancy. Each virtual network in the hedgehog fabric is identified by a VPC. In the following sections we will dive a bit deeper into a high level overview of how are vpc's implemented in the hedgehog fabric and it's associated objects.

This chapter is dedicated to the Hedgehog Fabric installation on the bare-metal control node(s) and switches, their preparation and configuration.

Please, get hhfab installed following instructions from the Download section.

Main steps to install Fabric are:

  1. Install hhfab on the machines with access to internet
    1. Prepare Wiring Diagram
    2. Select Fabric Configuration
    3. Build Control Node configuration and installer
  2. Install Control Node
    1. Install Flatcar Linux on the Control Node
    2. Upload and run Control Node installer on the Control Node
  3. Prepare supported switches
    1. Install Hedgehog ONiE (HONiE) on them
    2. Reboot them into ONiE Install Mode and they will be automatically provisioned
"},{"location":"install-upgrade/overview/#build-control-node-configuration-and-installer","title":"Build Control Node configuration and installer","text":"

It's the only step that requires internet access to download artifacts and build installer.

Once you've prepated Wiring Diagram, you can initialize Fabricator by running hhfab init command and passwing optional configuration into it as well as wiring diagram file(s) as flags. Additionally, there are a lot of customizations availble as flags, e.g. to setup default credentials, keys and etc, please, refer to hhfab init --help for more.

The --dev options allows to enable development mode which will enable default credentials and keys for the Control Node and switches:

Alternatively, you can pass your own credentials and keys using --authorized-key and --control-password-hash flags. Password hash can be generated using openssl passwd -5 command. Further customizations are available in the config file that could be passed using --config flag.

hhfab init --preset lab --dev --wiring file1.yaml --wiring file2.yaml\nhhfab build\n

As a result, you will get the following files in the .hhfab directory or the one you've passed using --basedir flag:

"},{"location":"install-upgrade/overview/#install-control-node","title":"Install Control Node","text":"

It's fully air-gapped installation and doesn't require internet access.

Please, download latest stable Flatcar Container Linux ISO from the link and boot into it (using IPMI attaching media, USB stick or any other way).

Once you've booted into the Flatcar installer, you need to download ignition.json built in the prvious step to it and run Flatcar installation:

sudo flatcar-install -d /dev/sda -i ignition.json\n

Where /dev/sda is a disk you want to install Control Node to and ignition.json is the control-os/ignition.json file from previous step downloaded to the Flatcar installer.

Once the installation is finished, reboot the machine and wait for it to boot into the installed Flatcar Linux.

At that point, you should get into the installed Flatcar Linux using the dev or provided credentials with user core and you can now install Hedgehog Open Network Fabric on it. Download control-install.tgz to the just installed Control Node (e.g. by using scp) and run it.

tar xzf control-install.tgz && cd control-install && sudo ./hhfab-recipe run\n

It'll output log of installing the Fabric (including Kubernetes cluster, OCI registry misc components and etc), you should see following output in the end:

...\n01:34:45 INF Running name=reloader-image op=\"push fabricator/reloader:v1.0.40\"\n01:34:47 INF Running name=reloader-chart op=\"push fabricator/charts/reloader:1.0.40\"\n01:34:47 INF Running name=reloader-install op=\"file /var/lib/rancher/k3s/server/manifests/hh-reloader-install.yaml\"\n01:34:47 INF Running name=reloader-wait op=\"wait deployment/reloader-reloader\"\ndeployment.apps/reloader-reloader condition met\n01:35:15 INF Done took=3m39.586394608s\n

At that point, you can start interacting with the Fabric using kubectl, kubectl fabric and k9s preinstalled as part of the Control Node installer.

You can now get HONiE installed on your switches and reboot them into ONiE Install Mode and they will be automatically provisioned from the Control Node.

You can use hhfab vlab ssh on the host to ssh into the test servers and configure networking there. For example, for both server-01 (MCLAG attached to both leaf-01 and leaf-02) we need to configure bond with a vlan on top of it and for the server-05 (single-homed unbundled attached to leaf-03) we need to configure just a vlan and they both will get an IP address from the DHCP server. You can use ip command to configure networking on the servers or use little helper preinstalled by Fabricator on test servers.

Make sure to wait until the peering is applied to the switches using kubectl get agents command. After that you can test connectivity between the servers again:

You can see duplicate packets in the output of the ping command between some of the servers. This is expected behavior and is caused by the limitations in the VLAB environment.

First of all, we'll need to make sure that we have a second IPv4Namespace with the same subnet as default one:

core@control-1 ~ $ kubectl get ipns\nNAME      SUBNETS           AGE\ndefault   [\"10.0.0.0/16\"]   24m\n\ncore@control-1 ~ $ cat <<EOF > ipns-2.yaml\napiVersion: vpc.githedgehog.com/v1alpha2\nkind: IPv4Namespace\nmetadata:\n  name: ipns-2\n  namespace: default\nspec:\n  subnets:\n  - 10.0.0.0/16\nEOF\n\ncore@control-1 ~ $ kubectl apply -f ipns-2.yaml\nipv4namespace.vpc.githedgehog.com/ipns-2 created\n\ncore@control-1 ~ $ kubectl get ipns\nNAME      SUBNETS           AGE\ndefault   [\"10.0.0.0/16\"]   30m\nipns-2    [\"10.0.0.0/16\"]   8s\n

Let's assume that vpc-1 already exists and is attached to server-01 (see Creating and attaching VPCs). Now we can create vpc-3 with the same subnet as vpc-1 (but in the different IPv4Namespace) and attach it to the server-03:

core@control-1 ~ $ cat <<EOF > vpc-3.yaml\napiVersion: vpc.githedgehog.com/v1alpha2\nkind: VPC\nmetadata:\n  name: vpc-1\n  namespace: default\nspec:\n  ipv4Namespace: ipns-2\n  subnets:\n    default:\n      dhcp:\n        enable: true\n        range:\n          start: 10.0.1.10\n      subnet: 10.0.1.0/24\n      vlan: \"2001\"\n  vlanNamespace: default\nEOF\n\ncore@control-1 ~ $ kubectl apply -f vpc-3.yaml\n

At that point you can setup networking on the server-03 same as for server-01 and server-02 in a previous sections and see that we have now server-01 and server-03 with the IP addresses from the same subnets.

It's possible to run Hedgehog Fabric in a fully virtual environment using QEMU/KVM and SONiC Virtual Switch (VS). It's a great way to try out Fabric and learn about its looka and feel, API, capabilities and etc. It's not suitable for any data plane or performance testing as well as not for production use.

In the VLAB all switches will start as an empty VMs with only ONiE image on them and will go through the whole discovery, boot and installation process like on the real hardware.

"},{"location":"vlab/overview/#overview_1","title":"Overview","text":"

The hhfab CLI provides a special command vlab to manage the virtual labs. It allows to run set of virtual machines to simulate the Fabric infrastructure including control node, switches, test servers and automatically runs installer to get Fabric up and running.

You can find more information about getting hhfab in the download section.

"},{"location":"vlab/overview/#system-requirements","title":"System Requirements","text":"

Currently, it's only tested on Ubuntu 22.04 LTS, but should work on any Linux distribution with QEMU/KVM support and fairly up-to-date packages.

Following packages needs to be installed: qemu-kvm swtpm-tools tpm2-tools socat and docker will be required to login into OCI registry.

By default, VLAB topology is Spine-Leaf with 2 spines, 2 MCLAG leafs and 1 non-MCLAG leaf. Optionally, you can choose to run default Collapsed Core topology using --fabric-mode collapsed-core (or -m collapsed-core) flag which only conisists of 2 switches.

You can calculate the system requirements based on the allocated resources to the VMs using the following table:

Device vCPU RAM Disk Control Node 6 6GB 100GB Test Server 2 768MB 10GB Switch 4 5GB 50GB

Which gives approximately the following requirements for the default topologies:

Usually, non of the VMs will reach 100% utilization of the allocated resources, but as a rule of thumb you should make sure that you have at least allocated RAM and disk space for all VMs.

NVMe SSD for VM disks is highly recommended.

On Ubuntu 22.04 LTS you can install all required packages using the following commands:

sudo apt install -y qemu-kvm swtpm-tools tpm2-tools socat\nsudo usermod -aG kvm $USER\nnewgrp kvm\nkvm-ok\n

Please, make sure to follow prerequisites and check system requirements in the VLAB Overview section before running VLAB.

"},{"location":"vlab/running/#initialize-vlab","title":"Initialize VLAB","text":"

As a first step you need to initialize Fabricator for the VLAB by running hhfab init --preset vlab (or -p vlab). It supports a lot of customization options which you can find by adding --help to the command. If you want to tune the topology used for the VLAB you can use --fabric-mode (or -m) flag to choose between spine-leaf (default) and collapsed-core topologies as well as you can configure the number of spines, leafs, connections and etc. For example, --spines-count and --mclag-leafs-count flags allows to set number of spines and MCLAG leafs respectively.

So, by default you'll get 2 spines, 2 MCLAG leafs and 1 non-MCLAG leaf with 2 fabric connections (between each spine and leaf), 2 MCLAG peer links and 2 MCLAG session links as well as 2 loopbacks per leaf for implementing VPC Loopback workaround.

Additionally, you can do extra Fabric configuration using flags on init command or by passing config file, more information about it is available in the Fabric Configuration section.

Once you have initialized the VLAB you need to download all artifacts and build the installer using hhfab build command. It will automatically download all required artifacts from the OCI registry and build the installer as well as all other prerequisites for running the VLAB.

After you see VM installed name=control-1, it means that the installer has finished and you can get into the control node and other VMs to watch the Fabric coming up and switches getting provisioned.

"},{"location":"vlab/running/#default-credentials","title":"Default credentials","text":"

Fabricator will create default users and keys for you to login into the control node and test servers as well as for the SONiC Virtual Switches.

Default user with passwordless sudo for the control node and test servers is core with password HHFab.Admin!. Admin user with full access and passwordless sudo for the switches is admin with password HHFab.Admin!.

The hhfab vlab command provides ssh and serial subcommands to access the VMs. You can use ssh to get into the control node and test servers after the VMs are started. You can use serial to get into the switch VMs while they are provisioning and installing the software. After switches are installed you can use ssh to get into them.

You can select device you want to access or pass the name using the --vm flag.

On the control node you'll have access to the kubectl, Fabric CLI and k9s to manage the Fabric. You can find information about the switches provisioning by running kubectl get agents -o wide. It usually takes about 10-15 minutes for the switches to get installed.

After switches are provisioned you will see something like this:

Heartbeat column shows how long ago the switch has sent the heartbeat to the control node. Applied column shows how long ago the switch has applied the configuration. AppliedG shows the generation of the configuration applied. CurrentG shows the generation of the configuration the switch is supposed to run. If AppliedG and CurrentG are different it means that the switch is in the process of applying the configuration.

At that point Fabric is ready and you can use kubectl and kubectl fabric to manage the Fabric. You can find more about it in the Running Demo and User Guide sections.

"},{"location":"vlab/running/#getting-main-fabric-objects","title":"Getting main Fabric objects","text":"

You can get the main Fabric objects using kubectl get command on the control node. You can find more details about using the Fabric in the User Guide, Fabric API and Fabric CLI sections.

For example, to get the list of switches you can run:

    Demo on VLAB

    +

    Goal of this demo is to show how to use VPCs, attach and peer them and test connectivity between the servers. Examples +are based on the default VLAB topology.

    You can find instructions on how to setup VLAB in the Overview and Running VLAB sections.

    Default topology

    Using VPCs with overlapping subnets

    +

    First of all, we'll need to make sure that we have a second IPv4Namespace with the same subnet as default one:

    +
    core@control-1 ~ $ kubectl get ipns
+NAME      SUBNETS           AGE
+default   ["10.0.0.0/16"]   24m
+
+core@control-1 ~ $ cat <<EOF > ipns-2.yaml
+apiVersion: vpc.githedgehog.com/v1alpha2
+kind: IPv4Namespace
+metadata:
+  name: ipns-2
+  namespace: default
+spec:
+  subnets:
+  - 10.0.0.0/16
+EOF
+
+core@control-1 ~ $ kubectl apply -f ipns-2.yaml
+ipv4namespace.vpc.githedgehog.com/ipns-2 created
+
+core@control-1 ~ $ kubectl get ipns
+NAME      SUBNETS           AGE
+default   ["10.0.0.0/16"]   30m
+ipns-2    ["10.0.0.0/16"]   8s
+
    +

    Let's assume that vpc-1 already exists and is attached to server-01 (see Creating and attaching VPCs). +Now we can create vpc-3 with the same subnet as vpc-1 (but in the different IPv4Namespace) and attach it to the +server-03:

    +
    core@control-1 ~ $ cat <<EOF > vpc-3.yaml
+apiVersion: vpc.githedgehog.com/v1alpha2
+kind: VPC
+metadata:
+  name: vpc-1
+  namespace: default
+spec:
+  ipv4Namespace: ipns-2
+  subnets:
+    default:
+      dhcp:
+        enable: true
+        range:
+          start: 10.0.1.10
+      subnet: 10.0.1.0/24
+      vlan: "2001"
+  vlanNamespace: default
+EOF
+
+core@control-1 ~ $ kubectl apply -f vpc-3.yaml
+
    +

    At that point you can setup networking on the server-03 same as for server-01 and server-02 in a previous sections +and see that we have now server-01 and server-03 with the IP addresses from the same subnets.
