In the OpenStack environment,when cloud instances are launched through Heat, metadata and userdata are populated automatically by the Heat template. The SBC SWe metadata and userdata you provide in your template are essential to ensuring that the SBC instance you deploy can initialize correctly. To be interpreted correctly, the metadata and userdata must be provided in the proper JSON format. The example Heat templates 

Spacevars
0company
 provides include metadata and userdata sections in the required format. When editing or copying these sections to create your own Heat template, be sure to maintain the format.  The following sections describe the SBC SWe metadata and userdata. 


Info

For

In OpenStack environment, Metadata and Userdata is populated automatically by the Heat template when SBC SWe cloud instances are launched through templates. If required, Metadata can be updated using nova APIs. The Metadata and the Userdata are provided in the JSON format.

 

Info

For AWS and OpenStack, there is now a common REST API command for accessing/showing/listing instantiation data such as meta-data and user-data. For details, refer to the REST - API - Reference - Guide.

Info
titleNote
  • Ensure the alternate IP definitions have the corresponding IF names.
  • IF dictionary name is names are any name prefixed by IF .

Example : IF-ABC, IFASD, IF_AS, and so on.

  • The name for an alternate IP address on a port can be constructed with port/vlan VLAN information.

Example: The second alternate IP address for pkt0's first VLAN IP interface can be named as PKT0_V01_ALT_IP_02.

  • The maximum length of the name is 255 characters.

Alternate IP Definition

Alternate An alternate IP definition contains the information of for an additional IP addresses address associated with the a port. For each additional IP address added to the port, there has to be corresponding ALT IP definition. The maximum number of ALT IP (alternate IP address) that can be associated with a port is restricted to 14following is an example definition with the parameters explained in the table that follows the example.

Info
titleNote:

Beginning with release 7.1, you must include SSH keys or passwords in the Heat template to log into the SBC CLI or linux shell. Because they are more secure, SSH key fields are mandatory in the Heat templates.
You can use the ssh-keygen command to generate keys. This command generates two files id_rsa and id_rsa.pub in your /home/<user>/.ssh directory. The contents of the id_rsa.pub file contains the input value for the keys in the template. Optionally, keys can also be protected using a passphrase.
Use man ssh-keygen for more options.

Passwords are optional fields. The password input is not plain text, it is a hash of the password. The hash password can be generated using the command: mkpasswd --method=SHA-512 --rounds=4096
Use man mkpasswd for more options.

1OpenStack Userdata Parameter Description


ParameterDescription
adminSshKeySpecifies the public SSH key to log into the SBC CLI as the admin user.
linuxAdminSshKeySpecifies the public SSH key to log into the SBC shell as the linuxadmin user.
adminPasswordThe hash of the password to log into the SBC CLI as the admin user.
linuxAdminPasswordThe hash of the password to log into the SBC shell as the linuxadmin user.
CERole

Assigned role for the SBC instance.

Allowed values:

  • Active
  • Standby

CEName

Specifies the actual CE name of the SBC instance. For more information, see System and Instance Naming in SBC SWe N:1 and Cloud-Based Systems.

CEName requirements:

  • Must start with an alphabetic character.
  • Can only contain alphabetic characters and/or numbers. No special characters.
  • Cannot exceed 64 characters in length.
CEMode

Specifies the role for the SBC instance within the cluster.

Allowed values:

  • oam - the node is an Operations, Administration, and Maintenance (OAM) node that manages configuration for an N:1 cluster.
  • sbc - the node is an SBC node.

SystemName

Specifies the actual system name of the SBC instance. For more information, see System and Instance Naming in SBC SWe N:1 and Cloud-Based Systems.

SystemName requirements:

  • Must start with an alphabetic character.
  • Can only contain alphabetic characters and/or numbers. No special characters.
  • Cannot exceed 26 characters in length.

SbcPersonalityType

Specifies the SBC or node personality type.
Allowed values:

  • isbc - integrated SBC
  • ssbc - signaling SBC
  • msbc - media SBC
  • mrfp - Media Resource Function Processor
  • slb - SIP-aware front-end load-balancer

DosSupportSecPktPorts

(Applicable only when port redundancy is enabled) Specifies whether to launch secondary Rx cores to support DoS protection for secondary packet ports.
Allowed values:

  • True (default)
  • False
SbcHaMode

Specifies the SBC HA model for the deployment.
Allowed values:

  • 1to1 - a 1:1 HA redundancy model where one active instance is backed up by one standby instance. In HA 1:1 mode, the SBC configuration is synchronized between active and standby SBCs.
  • Nto1 (default) - an N:1 redundancy model where up to N active instances are backed up by a single standby instance. In this mode, a 1:1 HA pair of dedicated Operations, Administration, and Maintenance (OAM) nodes is deployed to configure and manage SBC nodes. The SBC instances in such deployments have homogeneous configuration. The active OAM node holds the active configuration for the cluster and is responsible for sharing this configuration with the SBC nodes in the cluster.
OamIP

Specifies the IP addresses for the 1:1 HA pair of OAM nodes.

For IPv4:  ["a.b.c.x","a.b.c.y"]

For IPv6:  ["aaaa:bbbb:cccc:dddd::xx","aaaa:bbbb:cccc:dddd::yy"]

EmsUsername

Specifies the REST username for logging into EMS.
Default value: "None"

If the SBC SWe is not integrated with an EMS, this parameter should be set to "None".

EmsPassword

Specifies the REST password for logging into EMS.
Default value: "None"

If the SBC SWe is not integrated with an EMS, this parameter should be set to "None".

EmsIP

Specifies the EMS instance IPv4 or IPv6 address(es).

For IPv4

  • Standalone EMS IP address as - "a.b.c.x"

  • Geographical Redundancy EMS IP address as:

    ["a.b.c.x","a.b.c.y"]

For IPv6

  • Standalone EMS IP address as - "aaaa:bbbb:cccc:dddd::xx"

  • Geographical Redundancy EMS IP address as:

    ["aaaa:bbbb:cccc:dddd::xx","aaaa:bbbb:cccc:dddd::yy"]

EmsDownloadConfig

Whether configuration should be downloaded from the EMS.

Default value: True
Allowed values:

  • True
  • False

Note: Beginning in release 8.0, this option is no longer required and the configured value is ignored.

TemplateNameSpecifies the name of the template file.
TemplateVersionSpecifies the software version associated with the template.

EmsPrivateNodeParameters

Specifies the EMS private node parameters.
cluster_id - Unique ID for a specific cluster in a cloud environment which can contain one or more SBC instances.
vnfc_id - Unique ID specified for an SBC instance. The EMS identifies the nodes based on the VNFC-ID. If you reuse an existing VNFC-ID, the EMS will interpret it as a re-registration request and overwrite the existing data on the cloud node.

The cluster ID and vnfc ID both allow hyphens and cannot exceed 64 characters in length.

cinderVolumeIdForLogs

(Optional) Specifies the Cinder volume ID that you want to attach for logs.

Cinder volume length must be between 1 and 8 characters. allowed values: "^[A-Za-z0-9]{1}[-A-Za-z0-9]*[A-Za-z0-9]{1}$"


Metavariables

Interface-related information (contents of interface and ALT IP definitions) provided in userdata and/or metadata is flattened down into key-value pairs, which can be retrieved using the CLI.
