Set up Ubuntu 14.04 Server Edition Virtual Machine environment. We tested this with Fusion on Mac OS X and VirtualBox on Windows 8.
Open a terminal and execute the following commands:
% sudo apt-get install -y --force-yes wget
% wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/osrg/gobgp/master/tools/route-server/route-server-docker.sh
% chmod +x route-server-docker.sh
% ./route-server-docker.sh install
All necessary software will be installed. You can find all configuration files (for Quagga and gobgp) at /usr/local/gobgp. Let's make sure:
fujita@ubuntu:~$ find /usr/local/gobgp|sort
/usr/local/gobgp
/usr/local/gobgp/gobgpd.conf
/usr/local/gobgp/q1
/usr/local/gobgp/q1/bgpd.conf
/usr/local/gobgp/q2
/usr/local/gobgp/q2/bgpd.conf
/usr/local/gobgp/q3
/usr/local/gobgp/q3/bgpd.conf
/usr/local/gobgp/q4
/usr/local/gobgp/q4/bgpd.conf
/usr/local/gobgp/q5
/usr/local/gobgp/q5/bgpd.conf
/usr/local/gobgp/q6
/usr/local/gobgp/q6/bgpd.conf
/usr/local/gobgp/q7
/usr/local/gobgp/q7/bgpd.conf
/usr/local/gobgp/q8
/usr/local/gobgp/q8/bgpd.conf
Before going to playing with this environment, you need to log out and log in again.
% ./route-server-docker.sh start
Eight containers for Quagga and one container for gobgp started.
Now ready to start gobgp so let's go into the container for gobgp:
% docker exec -it gobgp bash
You are supposed to get a console like the following:
root@ec36881de971:~#
root@e7cb66415e2f:~# go run gobgp/bgpd.go -f /mnt/gobgpd.conf
INFO[0000] Peer 10.0.0.1 is added
INFO[0000] Peer 10.0.0.2 is added
INFO[0000] Peer 10.0.0.3 is added
INFO[0000] Peer 10.0.0.4 is added
INFO[0000] Peer 10.0.0.5 is added
INFO[0000] Peer 10.0.0.6 is added
INFO[0000] Peer 10.0.0.7 is added
INFO[0000] Peer 10.0.0.8 is added
After some time, you'll see more messages on the console (it means Quagga bgpd connected to gobgp).
On a different console, let's check the status of Quagga.
% docker exec -it q1 bash
You can do something like:
root@a40ac8058ca7:/# telnet localhost bgpd
btw, the password is "zebra".
The names of Quagga containers are q1, q2, q3, q4, q5, q6, q7, and q8 respectively. You can execute bash on any container with 'docker exec' command.
The following command stops and cleans up everything.
% ./route-server-docker.sh stop
You can safely excute this command whenever something goes wrong and start again.
