Overview#

knlcli support save/load VNF/CNF configurations, e.g. SROS configuration, currently this feature supports following node types:

  • Nokia vSIM
  • Nokia SR-SIM
  • Nokia VSR
  • Nokia SRLinux
  • Nokia MAG-c

Note
For vSIM/VSR/SR-SIM, SSH must be enabled and MD-CLI must be the default CLI

Protocol#

The protocol of get/set configuration depends on the node type:

  • SRLinux: gNMI
  • MAG-c: classic CLI
  • vSIM/VSR/SR-SIM: gNMI (knlcli will enable gNMI on the node via MD-CLI if it is not enabled)

Save#

Use command knlcli config save <Lab> [flags] to save configuration all supporting nodes in the specified lab into a folder, by default, the folder is the ./<lab-name>, each node’s configuration is saved as <nodeName>.cfg.

Following is an example save lab ipsec-basic into folder ./tmp/ipsec-basic:

user@svr-1:~$ knlcli config save --output ./tmp ipsec-basic
20:16:27 cfg.go:27: saving config for node pod-1 ...
20:16:27 cfg.go:37: pod-1 returns empty string, skip saving
20:16:27 cfg.go:27: saving config for node srsim-1 ...
20:16:27 cfg.go:50: srsim-1 config is saved as tmp/ipsec-basic/srsim-1.cfg
20:16:27 cfg.go:27: saving config for node srsim-2 ...
20:16:27 cfg.go:50: srsim-2 config is saved as tmp/ipsec-basic/srsim-2.cfg

Saved configuration file#

The format of saved configuration file depends on the node type:

  • SRLinux: json
  • VSIM: MD config in json
  • VSR: MD config in json
  • SR-SIM: MD config in json
  • MAG-c: classic CLI

Load#

Use command knlcli config load <Lab> [flags] to load configurations from a folder for all supporting nodes in the specified lab. by default, the folder is the ./<lab-name>, each node’s configuration file name is <nodeName>.cfg.

Following is an example loading config files from folder ./tmp/ipsec-basic for lab ipsec-basic:

user@svr-1:~$  knlcli config load --input ./tmp ipsec-basic
20:19:39 cfg.go:67: loading config from folder tmp/ipsec-basic...
20:19:39 cfg.go:70: reading from tmp/ipsec-basic/pod-1.cfg
20:19:39 cfg.go:74: pod-1's config file not found, skip
20:19:39 cfg.go:70: reading from tmp/ipsec-basic/srsim-1.cfg
20:19:40 cfg.go:92: loaded config for srsim-1
20:19:40 cfg.go:70: reading from tmp/ipsec-basic/srsim-2.cfg
20:19:42 cfg.go:92: loaded config for srsim-2
