ASN Package Installation

Prerequisites

  • Enable internet and DNS to install packages via Ubuntu apt

  • Disable all of CPU virtualization features (e.g. VT-x)

  • Check if number of NUMA nodes is 2, same as number of CPU sockets and NICs

Packages to Install in Ubuntu Server

  • Extract the image tar -xf`` ``asn-image-v*.tar.gz

  • Change to the extracted directory cd asn-image-v*

  • Run the installation script for the ASN server install-asn-server.sh

  • Reboot the server sudo reboot

  • After rebooting, install DPDK ports install-dpdk-ports.sh

  • Execute the ASN script sudo ./run-asn.sh --imgage=platform --mode=TELCO

  • Set the core allocation for Kafka and KPI value in ONES UI boot configuration page.

  • Execute the ASN script sudo ./run-asn.sh --image=generic --mode=DC

  • Use the ONES UI to control/manage ASN

  • To check the Dev console of ASN-Server

    • sudo conspy 20

    • Press ESC three times to exit

Switching Between Application and Subscriber Modes

ASN can operate in two modes: Application mode and Subscriber mode. When transitioning between these modes, follow the steps below carefully to ensure a clean restart.

Step 1: Stop Existing ASN Services

Run the following commands to stop all active ASN services:

Step 2: Flush Redis Database

Clear the Redis database to remove any residual data before switching modes:

Step 3: Reinstall ASN Server

Run the installation script to ensure the correct mode is set:

Step 4: Start ASN in the Desired Mode

  • To run ASN in Subscriber mode, execute:

  • To run ASN in Application mode, execute:

If any prerequisite or dependency is installed after completing the ASN installation, the following script must be re-executed:

sudo./run−asn.shsudo ./run-asn.sh

Packages to Install in RHEL Server

  • Extract the image tar -xvf asn-generic-image-v2_3-20260112.tar.gz

  • Change to the extracted directory cd asn-core-install/

  • Run the installation script for the ASN server

  • Reboot the server sudo reboot

  • After rebooting, install DPDK ports incase of intel NIC connection install-dpdk-ports.sh

  • Set the value of hugepage in the shell script install-asn-hugepages.sh example huge_page=150

  • Run the hugepage script sudo ./install-asn-hugepages.sh

  • Verify the hugepage config sudo dpdk-hugepages.py -s

  • Change to directory cd asn-core-install/

  • Set the core allocation for Kafka and KPI count, total ports, overall core in ONES boot configuration page.

  • Execute the script sudo /run-asn-rhel.sh --image=generic --nic=All --mode=DC to run ASN in Application mode

  • Execute the script sudo /run-asn-rhel.sh --image=generic --nic=All --mode=TELCO to run ASN in Subscriber mode

  • To check the Dev console of ASN-Server

    • sudo conspy 20

    • Press ESC three times to exit

Configure Static IP Address on RHEL

Check Available Network Connections

  • List all network connections and identify the connection name associated with your interface (ens34).

  • Example output:

Configure the Static IP Address

  • Modify the connection settings with the required IP address, gateway, DNS servers, and set the IPv4 method to manual.

Apply the Changes

  • After modifying the connection profile, bring the interface down and back up so that NetworkManager applies the new IP, gateway, and DNS settings.

Packages to Install in AWS cloud Server -DPDK Mode

  • Extract the image tar -xvf asn-generic-image-v2_3-20260112.tar.gz

  • Change to the extracted directory cd asn-core-install/

  • Run the installation script for the ASN server sudo ./install-asn-server-aws.sh

  • Reboot the server sudo reboot

  • After rebooting, install DPDK ports incase of ENA connection sudo install-dpdk-ports-aws.sh

  • Set the value of hugepage in the shell script HUGEPAGE_GB=20 in case of Telco mode and excute, default value 8GB is applicable for DC mode

  • Verify the port binding config sudo dpdk-devbind.py -s

  • Change to directory cd asn-core-install/

  • Set the core allocation for Kafka and KPI count, total ports, overall core in FV boot configuration page.

  • Execute the script sudo ./run-asn-aws.sh --mode=DC to run ASN in Application mode

  • Execute the script sudo ./run-asn-aws.sh to run ASN in Subscriber mode

  • To check the Dev console of ASN-Server

    • sudo conspy 20

    • Press ESC three times to exit

Packages to Install in AWS cloud Server -AF_Packet Mode

  • Extract the image tar -xvf asn-generic-image-v2_3-20260112.tar.gz

  • Change to the extracted directory cd asn-core-install/

  • Run the installation script for the ASN server sudo ./install-asn-server-aws.sh

  • Reboot the server sudo reboot

  • Change to directory cd asn-core-install/

  • Set the core allocation for Kafka and KPI count, total ports, overall core in FV boot configuration page.

  • Execute the script sudo ./run-asn-aws.sh --mode=DC to run ASN in Application mode

  • Execute the script sudo ./run-asn-aws.sh to run ASN in Subscriber mode

  • To check the Dev console of ASN-Server

    • sudo conspy 20

    • Press ESC three times to exit

Configuring ASN NIC Ports

To ensure ASN uses the intended NIC interfaces, explicitly define the PCI devices in config.json under eal-args.

Steps

  • Identify the required NIC PCI addresses:

  • from the asn-core-install directory, navigate to config.json:

  • Specify the NiC ports to be handled by ASN in config.json after lcores info, (“a” → PCI List to be handled by ASN). as shown by the example:-

Example-

  • Save the configuration.

  • From the asn-core-install directory, restart ASN services/application for changes to take effect.

TELCO:

DC:

ASN 2.5 and later

Usage: ./prep-asn-tar.sh [--nic=All|Intel] [--os=<os_id>]

After executing the respective command, ASN will initialize in the selected mode.

Note

ASN probes the configured PCI devices in numerical order internally, irrespective of the sequence mentioned in the configuration list.
