9 Supported Operating Systems
10 ---------------------------
20 The vSwitch must support Open Flow 1.3 or greater.
22 * OVS (built from source).
23 * OVS with DPDK (built from source).
32 A simple VNF that forwards traffic through a VM, using:
38 The official VM image is called vloop-vnf and it is available for free
39 download at OPNFV website.
44 * `vloop-vnf-ubuntu-14.04_20160303`_
46 * snmpd service is disabled by default to avoid error messages during VM boot
47 * security updates applied
49 * `vloop-vnf-ubuntu-14.04_20151216`_
51 * version with development tools required for build of DPDK and l2fwd
55 The test suite requires Python 3.3 and relies on a number of other
56 packages. These need to be installed for the test suite to function.
58 Installation of required packages, preparation of Python 3 virtual
59 environment and compilation of OVS, DPDK and QEMU is performed by
60 script **systems/build_base_machine.sh**. It should be executed under
61 user account, which will be used for vsperf execution.
63 **Please Note**: Password-less sudo access must be configured for given
64 user account before script is executed.
66 Execution of installation script:
71 $ ./build_base_machine.sh
73 **Please Note**: you don't need to go into any of the systems subdirectories,
74 simply run the top level **build_base_machine.sh**, your OS will be detected
77 Script **build_base_machine.sh** will install all the vsperf dependencies
78 in terms of system packages, Python 3.x and required Python modules.
79 In case of CentOS 7 it will install Python 3.3 from an additional repository
80 provided by Software Collections (`a link`_). Installation script will also
81 use `virtualenv`_ to create a vsperf virtual environment, which is isolated
82 from the default Python environment. This environment will reside
83 in a directory called **vsperfenv** in $HOME.
85 You will need to activate the virtual environment every time you start a
86 new shell session. Its activation is specific to your OS:
93 $ scl enable python33 bash
103 $ source bin/activate
105 Working Behind a Proxy
106 ======================
108 If you're behind a proxy, you'll likely want to configure this before
109 running any of the above. For example:
113 export http_proxy=proxy.mycompany.com:123
114 export https_proxy=proxy.mycompany.com:123
