Configuring and Managing IP Addresses on Hypervisor and Virtual Machines

6.9 Configuring and Managing IP Addresses on

Hypervisor and Virtual Machines
To configure IP address on the Hypervisor and Virtual Machines, perform the following:
1. Login as root/iDirect.
2. Go to home/idirect/install_scripts directory.
3. Edit the config-file.json using the vi editor.
4. In the config-file.json file, click insert and add the IP addresses to the config-file.json
file. For example, the IP address seen in Figure 6-13.

{
"version'': "2”,
''host” : {
"uip": "172.30.5.5/26”, # Upstream IP address for access to the iGW Hypervisor
”uip-gw": ”172.30.5.1”, # Upstream IP gateway IP
"dns": "172.30.5.90", # DNS server IP
"umtu" : "1508", # MTU setting for Upstream interface. Default is 1508.
"tmtu" : "9000", # MTU setting for Tunnel interface. Default is 9000.
"hostname": "igw-blade"},
"rook": {
"uip” :”172.30.5.31/26”, # Rook US IP. In same subnet as PP UIP & host UIP
"tip” :”172.30.5.66/26”, # Rook Tunnel IP. In same subnet as PP Tunnel IP
"hostname": "blrookl"},
"PP”: {
”uip” :”172.30.5.32/26”, # First PP US IP. In same subnet as Rook US-IP
"tip” :”172.30.5.72/26”, # PP Tunnel IP. In same subnet as Rook Tunnel IP
"#pp" :7, # Number of PPs to be configured. Maximum is 7.
"hostname": "pp"}

Figure 6-13. Config-file.json File

Both “umtu” and “tmtu" settings are applied to all interfaces (Hypervisor,
Processing Node, and PP) even though they are only configured under the
“host” section in the config-file.json file.
The upstream IP address is same as the processing node ETH0 IP address.
Encapsulator tunnel IP address is the same as processing node tunnel IP
address.

NOTE: References to Rook in Figure 6-13 is the Frame Encapsulator.

NOTE: The comment (#...) after each line in Figure 6-13 is just a description
of the line and should not be present in the config-file.json file.
