Retrieving the images on Docker-Hub # Currently the images are hosted under the user account `rdefosseoai`. This may change in the future. Once again you may need to log on [docker-hub](https://hub.docker.com/) if your organization has reached pulling limit as `anonymous`. ```bash $ docker login Login with your Docker ID to push and pull images from Docker Hub. If you don't have a Docker ID, head over to https://hub.docker.com to create one. Username: Password: ``` Now pull images. ```bash $ docker pull mysql:5.7 $ docker pull rdefosseoai/oai-amf:latest $ docker pull rdefosseoai/oai-nrf:latest $ docker pull rdefosseoai/oai-smf:latest $ docker pull rdefosseoai/oai-spgwu-tiny:latest $ docker pull rdefosseoai/oai-gnb:develop $ docker pull rdefosseoai/oai-nr-ue:develop ``` And **re-tag** them for tutorials' docker-compose file to work. ```bash $ docker image tag rdefosseoai/oai-amf:latest oai-amf:latest $ docker image tag rdefosseoai/oai-nrf:latest oai-nrf:latest $ docker image tag rdefosseoai/oai-smf:latest oai-smf:latest $ docker image tag rdefosseoai/oai-spgwu-tiny:latest oai-spgwu-tiny:latest $ docker image tag rdefosseoai/oai-gnb:develop oai-gnb:develop $ docker image tag rdefosseoai/oai-nr-ue:develop oai-nr-ue:develop ``` ```bash $ docker logout ``` # 2. Deploy containers # ![Deployment](./oai-end-to-end.jpg) **CAUTION: this SHALL be done in multiple steps.** **Just `docker-compose up -d` WILL NOT WORK!** All the following commands **SHALL** be run from the `ci-scripts/yaml_files/5g_rfsimulator` folder. ## 2.1. Deploy OAI 5G Core Network ## ```bash $ cd ci-scripts/yaml_files/5g_rfsimulator $ docker-compose up -d mysql oai-nrf oai-amf oai-smf oai-spgwu oai-ext-dn Creating network "rfsim5g-oai-public-net" with driver "bridge" Creating network "rfsim5g-oai-traffic_net-net" with driver "bridge" Creating rfsim5g-oai-nrf ... done Creating rfsim5g-mysql ... done Creating rfsim5g-oai-spgwu ... done Creating rfsim5g-oai-amf ... done Creating rfsim5g-oai-smf ... done Creating rfsim5g-oai-ext-dn ... done ``` Wait for a bit. ```bash $ docker-compose ps -a Name Command State Ports ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- rfsim5g-mysql docker-entrypoint.sh mysqld Up (healthy) 3306/tcp, 33060/tcp rfsim5g-oai-amf /bin/bash /openair-amf/bin ...

Up (healthy) 2152/udp, 8805/udp ``` At this point, you can prepare a capture on the newly-created public docker bridges: ```bash $ ifconfig ... rfsim5g-public: flags=4163 mtu 1500 inet 192.168.71.129 netmask 255.255.255.192 broadcast 192.168.71.191 inet6 fe80::42:c4ff:fe2b:3d38 prefixlen 64 scopeid 0x20 ether 02:42:c4:2b:3d:38 txqueuelen 0 (Ethernet) RX packets 4 bytes 112 (112.0 B) RX errors 0 dropped 0 overruns 0 frame 0 TX packets 7 bytes 626 (626.0 B) TX errors 0 dropped 0 overruns 0 carrier 0 collisions 0 rfsim5g-traffic: flags=4163 mtu 1500 inet 192.168.72.129 netmask 255.255.255.192 broadcast 192.168.72.191 inet6 fe80::42:b5ff:fed3:e732 prefixlen 64 scopeid 0x20 ether 02:42:b5:d3:e7:32 txqueuelen 0 (Ethernet) RX packets 2652 bytes 142335 (142.3 KB) RX errors 0 dropped 0 overruns 0 frame 0 TX packets 3999 bytes 23367972 (23.3 MB) TX errors 0 dropped 0 overruns 0 carrier 0 collisions 0 ... ``` ## 2.2. Deploy OAI gNB in RF simulator mode and in Standalone Mode ## ```bash $ docker-compose up -d oai-gnb rfsim5g-oai-nrf is up-to-date rfsim5g-oai-spgwu is up-to-date rfsim5g-oai-ext-dn is up-to-date Creating rfsim5g-oai-gnb ... done ``` Wait for a bit. ```bash $ docker-compose ps -a Name Command State Ports ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- rfsim5g-mysql docker-entrypoint.sh mysqld Up (healthy) 3306/tcp, 33060/tcp rfsim5g-oai-amf /bin/bash /openair-amf/bin ...

Deploy OAI NR-UE in RF simulator mode and in Standalone Mode ## ```bash $ docker-compose up -d oai-nr-ue rfsim5g-mysql is up-to-date rfsim5g-oai-nrf is up-to-date rfsim5g-oai-spgwu is up-to-date rfsim5g-oai-ext-dn is up-to-date rfsim5g-oai-gnb is up-to-date Creating rfsim5g-oai-nr-ue ... done ``` Wait for a bit. ```bash $ docker-compose ps -a Name Command State Ports ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- rfsim5g-mysql docker-entrypoint.sh mysqld Up (healthy) 3306/tcp, 33060/tcp rfsim5g-oai-amf /bin/bash /openair-amf/bin ...

Check your Internet connectivity ## ```bash $ docker exec -it rfsim5g-oai-nr-ue /bin/bash root@bb4d400a832d:/opt/oai-nr-ue# ping -I oaitun_ue1 -c 10 www.lemonde.fr PING s2.shared.global.fastly.net (151.101.122.217) from 12.1.1.2 oaitun_ue1: 56(84) bytes of data. 64 bytes from 151.101.122.217 (151.101.122.217): icmp_seq=1 ttl=53 time=64.5 ms 64 bytes from 151.101.122.217 (151.101.122.217): icmp_seq=2 ttl=53 time=37.0 ms 64 bytes from 151.101.122.217 (151.101.122.217): icmp_seq=3 ttl=53 time=43.2 ms 64 bytes from 151.101.122.217 (151.101.122.217): icmp_seq=4 ttl=53 time=43.2 ms 64 bytes from 151.101.122.217 (151.101.122.217): icmp_seq=5 ttl=53 time=54.3 ms 64 bytes from 151.101.122.217 (151.101.122.217): icmp_seq=6 ttl=53 time=24.0 ms 64 bytes from 151.101.122.217 (151.101.122.217): icmp_seq=7 ttl=53 time=32.5 ms 64 bytes from 151.101.122.217 (151.101.122.217): icmp_seq=8 ttl=53 time=37.0 ms 64 bytes from 151.101.122.217 (151.101.122.217): icmp_seq=9 ttl=53 time=41.2 ms 64 bytes from 151.101.122.217 (151.101.122.217): icmp_seq=10 ttl=53 time=50.3 ms --- s2.shared.global.fastly.net ping statistics --- 10 packets transmitted, 10 received, 0% packet loss, time 9011ms rtt min/avg/max/mdev = 24.035/42.765/64.557/10.904 ms ``` If it does not work, certainly you need to modify the DNS values in the docker-compose. But you can also check with the `ext-dn` container (IP address is `192.168.72.135` in docker-compose) ```bash $ docker exec -it rfsim5g-oai-nr-ue /bin/bash root@bb4d400a832d# ping -I oaitun_ue1 -c 2 192.168.72.135 PING 192.168.72.135 (192.168.72.135) from 12.1.1.2 oaitun_ue1: 56(84) bytes of data. 64 bytes from 192.168.72.135: icmp_seq=1 ttl=63 time=10.9 ms 64 bytes from 192.168.72.135: icmp_seq=2 ttl=63 time=16.5 ms --- 192.168.72.135 ping statistics --- 2 packets transmitted, 2 received, 0% packet loss, time 1001ms rtt min/avg/max/mdev = 10.939/13.747/16.556/2.810 ms ``` Let now try to check UDP traffic in Downlink. You will need 2 terminals: one in the NR-UE container, one in the ext-dn container. ## 3.2. Start the `iperf` server inside the NR-UE container ## ```bash $ docker exec -it rfsim5g-oai-nr-ue /bin/bash root@bb4d400a832d:/opt/oai-nr-ue# iperf -B 12.1.1.2 -u -i 1 -s ------------------------------------------------------------ Server listening on UDP port 5001 Binding to local address 12.1.1.2 Receiving 1470 byte datagrams UDP buffer size: 208 KByte (default) ------------------------------------------------------------ ``` ## 3.3.
