sandbox - segment routing

[kristina]

I'm trying to configure SR on ios-xrv in VIRL - using OSPF, but get an error when I try to specify SIDs:

RP/0/0/CPU0:ios(config-ospf-ar)#prefix-sid index 1001
^
% Invalid input detected at '^' marker.
RP/0/0/CPU0:ios(config-ospf-ar)#prefix-sid absolute 17001
^
% Invalid input detected at '^' marker.
RP/0/0/CPU0:ios(config-ospf-ar)#

How do I move past this issue? Or, any useful docs to be pointed to for SR config for ospf, or is-is?

I tried deploying 5 ios-xrv nodes, only did config for ospf on one of the nodes:

I still cannot use the SID command.

VIRL topology from Maestro - attached image.

Tried configuration for iosxrv-1

I brought up the two interfaces:

• interfaces gigabitEthernet 0/0/0/1 and 0/0/0/1

RP/0/0/CPU0:ios(config-if)#interface gigabitEthernet 0/0/0/0

RP/0/0/CPU0:ios(config-if)#ipv4 address 192.168.20.11/24

Next, I configured OSPF using:

RP/0/0/CPU0:ios#configure

RP/0/0/CPU0:ios(config-ospf)#end

Worked fine:

RP/0/0/CPU0:ios#sh ip proto

Next, I tried to do SR with OSPF using:

But, it does not work - see below errors:

Skipped to next command according to the conf. example:

Thank you,

Hello,

<cr> this means 'carriage return' (old terms for press enter/return) there is no further options for this syntax.

I would guess the reason you cannot implement this is due to missing active packages on the XR routers or the image version that is installed does support this feature.

Hope that helps.

[kristina]

Thank you for the reply.

Which image should I be using to get support for segment routing.
Specifically, using the VIRL sandbox - are there any images that support SR?

[bigevilbeard]

Ok thanks for confirming you are using the devnet sandbox, let me check this and revert back to you once i have checked.

Thanks!

[bigevilbeard]

Sorry for the delay in update here, i am checking with the XR team if sunstone image supports SR, if so which one(s).

[kristina]

Thank you.

[kristina]

While waiting for the update, do you know if the sandbox has an NCS image? 

If so, I believe that one should support SR?

thank you,

[bigevilbeard]

Hey there, there is no NCS image in the mutli-ios virl sandbox.

[kristina]

Hi, is there any update in terms of SR support for the sandbox env?

[bigevilbeard]

Hey there, sadly no reply yet. I will reach out directly with them after the holiday period.

[bigevilbeard]

Sorry for delays in reply here. Having checked upstream, SR support for XRv9000 is not officially supported right now. This _might_ change in due course on future releases.

[kristina]

Hi,

Is there any OS that is available and that supports SR in the sandbox env? Or, in VIRL?

[bigevilbeard]

In this case, sadly no there is not at this time.
