VPP IPSEC implementation using LSDK 21.08 on ls1046ardb eval board

Kavana — Mon, 16 Dec 2024 04:43:56 GMT

Hi,

I am trying to implement VPP IPSEC on ls1046ardb eval board. I followed the below steps.

In host machine,
tar xf flexbuild_lsdk2108_github.tgz

cd flexbuild_lsdk2108_github

CONFIG_APP_VPP=y in configs/sdk.yml

in flexbuild_lsdk2108_github : $ source setup.env

flex-builder -c openssl -a arm64

flex-builder -c linux -a arm64

flex-builder -c dpdk -a arm64

flex-builder -i mkrfs -a arm64

flex-builder -c vpp -a arm64

flex-builder -i merge-component -a arm64

flex-builder -i packrfs

Debian Images found in
/home/ubuntu/flexbuild_lsdk2108_github/build/apps/components_arm64_ubuntu_main/usr/local/vpp/

cd build/rfs/rootfs_lsdk2108_ubuntu_main_arm64/usr/local/vpp/

//Loaded firmware to SD card
flex-installer -i pf -d /dev/sdc

flex-installer -b boot_LS_arm64_lts_5.10_202412091034.tgz -r rootfs_lsdk2108_ubuntu_main_arm64_202412141056.tgz -f firmware_ls1046ardb_sdboot.img -d /dev/sdb

In target board, (NXP Eval Board ls1046ardb)

cd /usr/local/vpp
dpkg --unpack *.deb
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/lib64/:/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH

mkdir /mnt/hugepages
mount -t hugetlbfs none /mnt/hugepages

fmc -c usdpaa_config_ls1046.xml -p usdpaa_policy_hash_ipv4_1queue.xml -a
cd --
vpp -c /etc/vpp/startup.conf.dpkg-new &

Problem is if run #vppctl show int

on target board then only local0 interface is displayed for which ip address cannot be set. Basically unable to set IP address as no interface is shown. I want to execute below commands but unable to do so. I have connected two eval boards back to back. Please help me to resolve the problem.

Please boot up the target board with dtb for DPDK.

Please boot up to Linux OS.

~# mount /dev/mmcblk0p2 /mnt

~# cd /mnt

~# mv fsl-ls1046a-rdb-sdk.dtb fsl-ls1046a-rdb-sdk.dtb_bak

~# cp fsl-ls1046a-rdb-usdpaa.dtb fsl-ls1046a-rdb-sdk.dtb

Then reboot the target board.

Hi, Thank you. I tried loading pre-built images to ls1046ardb eval board and followed VPP installation guide. Now, i would want to establish IPSEC tunnel between two ls1046ardb eval boards (VPP peers).

Any resource where I can try out from scratch?

Re: VPP IPSEC implementation using LSDK 21.08 on ls1046ardb eval board

Please refer to sections "VPP IPSec" and "9.3.7 VPP performance reproducibility guide - LS1043A/LS1046A" in LSDK 21.08 user manual.

Re: VPP IPSEC implementation using LSDK 21.08 on ls1046ardb eval board

Could you please share pre-build images for ls1046ardb eval board where vpp is already enabled?

Re: VPP IPSEC implementation using LSDK 21.08 on ls1046ardb eval board

OS images that I have used on ls1046ard eval board do not have config with VPP enabled therefore, I separately installed fd.io VPP package on two eval boards and tried the following to establish IPSEC tunnel between two VPP peers:

Assumptions VPP IPSEC:

Peer 1: Local IP 10.0.0.1, Remote IP 10.0.0.2
Peer 2: Local IP 10.0.0.2, Remote IP 10.0.0.1
The Ethernet cable is connected between fm1-mac6 ports on both boards.
VPP Version: v24.10

Steps to establish IPsec tunnel:

Run following commands in VPP peers
/usr/bin/vpp -c /etc/vpp/startup1.conf
vppctl -s /run/vpp/cli.sock

1. Create Interfaces:

On Peer 1 (10.0.0.1):

vpp# create interface memif id 0 master
vpp# set int state memif0/0 up
vpp# set int ip address memif0/0 10.0.0.1/24

On Peer 2 (10.0.0.2):

vpp# create interface memif id 0 slave
vpp# set int state memif0/0 up
vpp# set int ip address memif0/0 10.0.0.2/24

This creates memif interfaces for local communication between peers.

2. Configure IPsec Policies and Create IPsec Tunnel:

On Peer 1 (10.0.0.1):
vpp#create ipip tunnel src 10.0.0.1 dst 10.0.0.2
vpp#set interface state ipip0 up
vpp#ipsec sa add 20 spi 200 crypto-key 6541686776336961656264656f6f6579 crypto-alg aes-gcm-128
vpp#ipsec sa add 30 spi 300 crypto-key 6541686776336961656264656f6f6579 crypto-alg aes-gcm-128
vpp#ipsec tunnel protect ipip0 sa-in 20 sa-out 30
vpp#ip route add 10.0.0.2/32 via ipip0

On Peer 2 (10.0.0.2):
vpp#create ipip tunnel src 10.0.0.2 dst 10.0.0.1
vpp#set interface state ipip0 up
vpp#ipsec sa add 20 spi 200 crypto-key 6541686776336961656264656f6f6579 crypto-alg aes-gcm-128
vpp#ipsec sa add 30 spi 300 crypto-key 6541686776336961656264656f6f6579 crypto-alg aes-gcm-128
vpp#ipsec tunnel protect ipip0 sa-in 20 sa-out 30
vpp#ip route add 10.0.0.1/32 via ipip0

3. Verify Setup:

show interface
show ipsec sa

4. Test with Ping:

ping <remote-ip>

Output is:

vpp#show interface
Name Idx State MTU (L3/IP4/IP6/MPLS) Counter Count
ipip0 2 up 9000/0/0/0
local0 0 down 0/0/0/0
memif0/0 1 up 9000/0/0/0
vpp# show ipsec sa
[0] sa 20 (0x14) spi 200 (0x000000c8) protocol:esp flags:[aead ctr ]
[1] sa 30 (0x1e) spi 300 (0x0000012c) protocol:esp flags:[aead ctr ]
vpp# ping 10.0.0.1

Statistics: 5 sent, 0 received, 100% packet loss
Ping is not working.

Re: VPP IPSEC implementation using LSDK 21.08 on ls1046ardb eval board

yipingwang — Fri, 10 Jan 2025 09:16:06 GMT

Please run

vpp -c /etc/vpp/startup.conf.dpkg-new &

Please run the command vppctl show int after running vpp -c /etc/vpp/
startup.conf.dpkg-new & to check the interface names, and use the related interface.

You should not create the interface by yourself like the following.

vpp# create interface memif id 0 master

Please try whether it is possible to ping successfully without setting IPSEC tunnel.

In addition, would you please a new thread to discuss the IPSEC running problem?

Kavana — Fri, 17 Jan 2025 05:38:46 GMT

Hi,

vpp -c /etc/vpp/startup.conf.dpkg-new &

Above command do not work. I get open configuration file '/etc/vpp/startup.conf.dpdk-new' failed error.
I have installed vpp from fd.io. I manually created /etc/vpp/startup1.conf which has below content in the file.

unix {cli-listen /run/vpp/cli-vpp1.sock}
api-segment { prefix vpp1 }
plugins { plugin dpdk_plugin.so { disable } }

Would you please address your "vpp -c /etc/vpp/startup.conf.dpkg-new &" running problem in a new thread?

Re: VPP IPSEC implementation using LSDK 21.08 on ls1046ardb eval board

yipingwang — Tue, 21 Jan 2025 08:32:53 GMT

Please download LSDK 21.08 pre-built images and deploy to SD card.

$ wget https://www.nxp.com/lgfiles/sdk/lsdk2108/boot_LS_arm64_lts_5.10.tgz

$ wget https://www.nxp.com/lgfiles/sdk/lsdk2108/rootfs_lsdk2108_ubuntu_main_arm64.tgz

$ wget https://www.nxp.com/lgfiles/sdk/lsdk2108/firmware_ls1046ardb_sdboot.img

$ flex-installer -i pf -d /dev/sdb

$ flex-installer -b boot_LS_arm64_lts_5.10.tgz -r rootfs_lsdk2108_ubuntu_main_arm64.tgz -f firmware_ls1046ardb_sdboot.img -d /dev/sdb

Note:/dev/sdb is SD card device name on the host PC.

On the target board, please plugin SD card to the target board, boot up to Linux OS.

~# mount /dev/mmcblk0p2 /mnt

~# cd /mnt

~# mv fsl-ls1046a-rdb-sdk.dtb fsl-ls1046a-rdb-sdk.dtb_bak

~# cp fsl-ls1046a-rdb-usdpaa.dtb fsl-ls1046a-rdb-sdk.dtb

~# reboot

I built vpp to generate *.deb files, and uploaded them in

https://support.nxp.com/s/case/500Tg00000FMl4VIAT/community-vpp-ipsec-implementation-using-lsdk-2108-on-ls1046ardb-eval-board?language=en_US

Please copy *.deb files to folder /usr/local/vpp on the target board and execute the following command

$ cp vpp.tar.gz /usr/local/

$ cd /usr/local/

$ tar -xzvf vpp.tar.gz

$ cd /usr/local/vpp

$ dpkg --unpack *.deb

root@localhost:~# vpp -c /etc/vpp/startup.conf.dpkg-new &

root@localhost:~# vppctl show int
