About the OcNOS VM
The OcNOS Virtual Machine (VM) from IP Infusion helps you get familiar with OcNOS. The OcNOS
VM runs on a standard x86 environment. The OcNOS VM is used to validate configurations and test
L2, L3, and MPLS features at your own pace, with no costs associated. Without bare metal switches,
OcNOS VM can be on popular open-source software emulators EVE-NG and GNS3, and hypervisors
including KVM, VirtualBox, and VMware. This document provides information on how to run OcNOS
VM in the EVE-NG environment.

All basic Layer 2, Layer 3, and multicast functionality are available. MPLS support is also available,
including limited support of MPLS forwarding. The OcNOS VM comes with a 365 days valid license.

The data plane forwarding functions have limited support. OcNOS VM is designed for feature testing,
and not for data plane performance testing or full bandwidth traffic testing.

Running Multiple OcNOS switches in EVE-NG

EVE-NG (Emulated Virtual Environment Next Generation) is a multi-vendor virtual network simulator.
This section describes how to install EVE-NG VM in VMware hypervisor and run OcNOS VM switches
and test servers in EVE-NG environment. We will create following switch topology shown below to
test OcNOS L2 and L3 software features. In this example, we will test the BGP and L3 VPN feature.
The following is a test topology in a EVE-NG environment.

One Cell Site Router (CSR), three Aggregation Routers (AGGR) and a core router are used in this EVE-NG
test topology. Two Debian Linux servers are used in EVE-NG environment for generating the test traffic.

System Requirements for Running OcNOS VMs in EVE-NG

Following system requirements are used for running OcNOS VMs in EVE-NG. We will run EVE-NG VM
in the VMware hypervisor. Following are requirements for running a EVE-NG VM:

• VMware vSphere Hypervisor (ESXi) 6.5.0 or later

• VM requirements:
◦ CPU: 4 vCPUs. CPU need to support the nested VM in the ESXi server for running EVE-NG VM.
Please refer to the next section for details.
◦ Memory: 16 GB
◦ Hard Disk: 60 GB
◦ NICs: 1. Make sure there is a DHCP server on the network this NIC card is connected to.
• We will be using EVE-NG project image that contains the following VMs: five OcNOS VMs (version
6.3.0 Build 126) with BGP and L3 VPN configuration, and 2 Debian Linux Servers.

Files Provided for Running OcNOS VMs in EVE-NG
Following files are provided for running OcNOS VMs in EVE-NG: You can download these files from
the following URL: https://www.ipinfusion.com/products/ocnos-vm/eve-ng/

1. OcNOS-SP-MPLS-x86-6.3.0-126-GA.vmdk.xz: This is OcNOS VM image for the EVE-NG

environment. OcNOS VM image file is archive compressed using XZ compression. Use Mac OS
Archive Utility or 7-zip tools to uncompress the file. To uncompress the file in Linux, use the
command xz -d <file_name>.xz

2. ocnos.yml: This is OcNOS QEMU VM Template. You can import this template to create OcNOS
VMs in EVE-NG.

3. OcNOS.png: This is OcNOS switch icon.

4. BGP-L3VPN-switches-config.zip: Configuration files for the topology given in this document. You
can copy the configuration given in these files to corresponding OcNOS switch in EVE-NG
environment.

Setup the EVE-NG Environment for Validating BGP and L3 VPN

Setting up above topology in EVE-NG for validating BGP and L3 VPN requires the following six steps:

1. Install the remote EVE-NG VM in the VMware hypervisor

2. Install EVE-NG Client Side pack that will install everything necessary for running telnet, vnc and
wireshark when working on Building labs

3. Install Linux Ubuntu 21.04 Server in the EVE-NG for generating and receiving test traffic.

4. Install OcNOS VM in the EVE-NG for testing traffic

5. Set up BGP and L3 VPN Lab on the EVE-NG

6. Verify BGP and L3 VPN Lab

1. Install EVE-NG VM in the VMware vSphere Hypervisor

The following are steps to install a EVE-NG VM in a VMware vSphere hypervisor:

a. Download the EVE-NG OVF Template Community Version to run in the VMware vSphere ESXi
hypervisor. In this example EVE-NG VM version 5.0.1-19 and VMware ESXi version 7.0.3 are
used for testing.

b. Install EVE-NG VM: Import EVE-NG OVF template to create a VM named EVE-NG-VM in ESXi
server using the downloaded OVF file by following the instructions from this video. Make sure
the VM Network to which EVE-NG-VM is connected is set to Accept Promiscuous mode as
instructed in the video. This allows the VM to send multiple MAC addresses to the switches.

c. Configure EVE-NG-VM: After you install the EVE-NG-VM, turn off the VM power, select edit
settings and expand CPU to check the nested VM support in the ESXi server. Hardware
Virtualization needs to be enabled in this case as shown below.

4 | RUNNING OcNOS® VMS IN EVE-NG QUICK START GUIDE

 In addition, set the Memory of the VM to 16 GB and click Save. CPU in the OVF template is set
to 4 and hard disk space is set to up 60 Gb. Click Save.

d. Power up the VM and open the VM console as shown below.

The EVE-NG-VM gets its IP address 10.10.25.234. The default credentials for login are also
given in the console: username is root and password is eve. The Web URL to access the
EVE-NG-VM environment is given as http://10.10.25.234.

Repeat enter root user’s password again and click return. Then set new password for root user
and hit return and repeat the same thing to confirm the new password set for root and hit return.

5 | RUNNING OcNOS® VMS IN EVE-NG QUICK START GUIDE

 Enter the hostname as shown below and hit return.

Enter the DNS domain name as shown below and hit return

Hit return to use DHCP for getting Management IP address.

In this example we are not using any Proxy to reach the Internet.
Hence we will choose direct connection and hit return.

6 | RUNNING OcNOS® VMS IN EVE-NG QUICK START GUIDE

 It sets all the above configuration and reboots the EVE-NG-VM.

From the EVE-NG-VM console, enter the username as root and enter the newly set password
earlier in this section. Verify the management IP address by executing the command ifconfig
pnet0. You can see EVE-NG-VM’s management IP address is 10.10.25.234. Verify whether
EVE-NG_VM can access Internet by executing the command ping example.com as shown below.

Now let us access the EVE-NG_VM from the web browser using URL http://10.10.25.234 and
verify login using default credentials: admin/eve

…
b. Check summary of known neighbor: Log into the console of the CSR-1 OcNOS virtual switch
(or SSH into CSR-1) and run the following commands to verify the BGP and L3 VPN
functionalities. The show clns neighbors command provides a summary of known neighbors,
the connecting interface, and the state of the adjacency.
CSR-1#show clns neighbors

Total number of L1 adjacencies: 2

Total number of L2 adjacencies: 0
Total number of adjacencies: 2

10.1.1.3 eth3 Passive O PERATIONAL 30 22:24:09

f. Check route between two Debian Servers: Check the route from one Debian Server to other
using the following command:
One server is directly connected to 30.1.1.0/24 network and other server in 40.1.1.0/24
network is accessible via BGP.
CSR-1#show ip route vrf TEST_VRF database

 g. Check L3VPN routes: Use the following command to display information relating to MPLS VPN.
CSR-1#show ip bgp vpnv4 all summary
BGP router identifier 10.1.1.1, local AS number 65000
BGP table version is 9
1 BGP AS-PATH entries

10.1.1.3 4 65000 4420 4418 9 0 0 00:20:37 1

Total number of neighbors 2

Total number of Established sessions 2

h. Stop flow of traffic between CSR-1 and AGGR-1 and verify whether traffic flows from one
server to the other:

When the ICMP traffic is flowing, let us stop the traffic between the CSR-1 and the AGGR-1.
To do this perform the following CLI commands in CSR-1 Switch.
CSR-1#conf t
Enter configuration commands, one per line. End with CNTL/Z.
CSR-1(config)#int eth2
CSR-1(config-if)#shut
CSR-1(config-if)#commit

This will stop the traffic flowing between CSR-1 and AGGR-1. Now traffic will not go through
eth2 interface. Traffic will only go through eth3 interface.

Check the traffic flow using the following command in CSR-1.

CSR-1#show mpls forwarding-table
Codes: > - installed FTN, * - selected FTN, p - stale FTN,
B - BGP FTN, K - CLI FTN, t - tunnel, P - SR Policy FTN,

Sending 5 MPLS Echos to 10.1.1.5, timeout is 5 seconds

Codes:
‘!’ - Success, ‘Q’ - request not sent, ‘.’ - timeout,
‘x’ - Retcode 0, ‘M’ - Malformed Request, ‘m’ - Errored TLV,
‘N’ - LBL Mapping Err, ‘D’ - DS Mismatch,
‘U’ - Unknown Interface, ‘R’ - Transit (LBL Switched),
‘B’ - IP Forwarded, ‘F’ No FEC Found, ‘f’ - FEC Mismatch,
‘P’ - Protocol Error, ‘X’ - Unknown code,
‘Z’ - Reverse FEC Validation Failed
