Prerequisites

• Enable internet and DNS to install packages via Ubuntu apt

• 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

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

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

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

• Use the FV GUI to control/manage ASN

• To check the Dev console of ASN-Server

  • sudo conspy 20

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:

sudo systemctl stop asn-core
sudo systemctl stop asn-mgmt
sudo systemctl stop asn-snmp-trap
sudo systemctl stop asn-rest-server

Step 2: Flush Redis Database

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

redis-cli "flushall"

Step 3: Reinstall ASN Server

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

./install-asn-server.sh

Step 4: Start ASN in the Desired Mode

• To run ASN in Subscriber mode, execute:

  sudo ./run-asn.sh

• To run ASN in Application mode, execute:

  sudo ./run-asn.sh --mode=DC

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

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

$sudo ./run-asn.sh$
