Installing Platform Packages

Install Platform Packages Dependencies

These dependencies need to be installed on any server that is going to host either the Management System, the Traffic Processor, or the Control Traffic Processor software.

Optional Environment Variables

Docker Variables

By default, Docker uses the 172.18.0.0/16 subnet for the 'opanga' network, to which all Provider Connectivity Assurance User Experience containers are attached.

DOCKER_CIDR

This variable sets the subnet (CIDR) for the Docker 'opanga' network.

Default value: 172.18.0.0/16

If you need to change the default value, first execute the following command to inspect the host's existing Docker network settings. Based on this output, choose a different desired CIDR value if necessary.

sudo docker network inspect bridge

DOCKER_GATEWAY

This variable sets the default gateway IP address for the Docker 'opanga' network.

Note: The gateway IP address (DOCKER_GATEWAY) must be within the DOCKER_CIDR subnet.

Default value: 172.18.0.1

If you need to change the default value, first execute the following command to inspect the host's existing Docker network settings. Based on this output, choose a different desired gateway IP address if necessary, ensuring it does not conflict with the existing bridge network's configuration.

sudo docker network inspect bridge

DOCKER_MTU

This variable sets the Maximum Transmission Unit (MTU) size for the Docker 'opanga' network. This variable must be set if the Maximum Transmission Unit (MTU) between the Traffic Processor or Control Traffic Processor host and the Management System host is less than 1500.

Default value: 1500

If you need to change the default value, first execute the following command to inspect the host's existing Docker network settings. Based on this output, choose a different desired MTU value if necessary.

sudo docker network inspect bridge

Checking MTU:

The MTU between two machines can be checked using networking utilities included in Rocky/RHEL, such as tracepath or ping.

Run Installation Script

Ensure that the provided RPM’s VERSION corresponds to the operating system of the machine.

sudo rpm -Uvh opanga-platform-packages-{VERSION}.x86_64.rpm
export DOCKER_CIDR="172.30.1.0/24" # example
export DOCKER_GATEWAY="172.30.1.254" # example
export DOCKER_MTU="1472" #example
sudo -E /var/opanga/platform-packages/install.sh
