Openvswitch手册(1): 架构,SSL, Manager, Bridge

image

Openvswitch是一个virutal swtich, 支持Open Flow协议,当然也有一些硬件Switch也支持Open Flow协议,他们都可以被统一的Controller管理,从而实现物理机和虚拟机的网络联通。

image

Open Switch定义了一系列Flow Table,通过它来控制包的流向和结构。

image

根据Open Flow协议,Flow Table包含match field,如果匹配上了,则执行Action。

其中Match Field涵盖TCP/IP协议各层:

  • Layer 1 – Tunnel ID, In Port, QoS priority, skb mark
  • Layer 2 – MAC address, VLAN ID, Ethernet type
  • Layer 3 – IPv4/IPv6 fields, ARP
  • Layer 4 – TCP/UDP, ICMP, ND

 

 

Action也主要包含下面的操作:

  • Output to port (port range, flood, mirror)
  • Discard, Resubmit to table x
  • Packet Mangling (Push/Pop VLAN header, TOS, ...)
  • Send to controller, Learn

可以设置Tunnel

可以支持下列的框架来监控流量。

  • sFlow
  • NetFlow
  • Port Mirroring
    • SPAN
    • RSPAN
    • ERSPAN

支持QoS

  • Uses existing Traffic Control Layer
    • Policer (Ingress rate limiter)
    • HTB, HFSC (Egress traffic classes)
  • Controller (Open Flow) can select Traffic Class

数据库结构和OVS-VSCTL

# ps aux | grep openvswitch
root      1117  0.0  0.0  21200  1580 ?        S<   Jun09   0:35 ovsdb-server /etc/openvswitch/conf.db -vconsole:emer -vsyslog:err -vfile:info --remote=punix:/var/run/openvswitch/db.sock --private-key=db:Open_vSwitch,SSL,private_key --certificate=db:Open_vSwitch,SSL,certificate --bootstrap-ca-cert=db:Open_vSwitch,SSL,ca_cert --no-chdir --log-file=/var/log/openvswitch/ovsdb-server.log --pidfile=/var/run/openvswitch/ovsdb-server.pid --detach --monitor

我们发现有两个进程:

  • ovsdb-server 维护数据库/etc/openvswitch/conf.db
  • ovs-vswitchd 核心daemon
  • 两者通过unix domain socket /var/run/openvswitch/db.sock 互相通信

ovs-vsctl就是通过和ovsdb-server通信,来修改数据库。

ovs-vswitchd会和ovsdb-server进行通信,来对虚拟设备做相应的修改。

所以ovs-vsctl里面的命令大多数都是对数据库的操作,因而我们必须好好的了解数据库。

如果我们cat /etc/openvswitch/conf.db,我们会发现它是json格式的。

数据库可以通过ovsdb-client dump将数据库内容打印出来

其中Open_vSwitch是根,结构如下:

image

这个表示ovs-vswitchd的配置,包含下面的几方面:

  • 对bridge设备的配置,bridges指向bridge表,我们能看到的openvswitch的主要功能都是在bridge上实现的,在bridge表中详细叙述。
  • 对本身的一些配置;
    • other_config : stats-update-interval :将统计信息写入数据库的间隔时间
    • other_config : flow-restore-wait : 为hot-upgrade使用的,如果设为true则不处理任何的包。一般使用的过程为,先停掉ovs-vswitchd,然后将这个值设为true,启动ovs-vswitchd,这个时候不处理任何包,然后使用ovs-ofctl将flow table restore到一个正确的状态,最后设置这个值为false,开始处理包 
    • other_config : flow-limit :在flow table中flow entry的数量
    • other_config : n-handler-threads :用于处理新flow的线程数
    • other_config : n-revalidator-threads :用于验证flow的线程数.
    • other_config : enable-statistics 是否统计
      • statistics : cpu 统计cpu数量,线程
      • statistics : load_average system load
      • statistics : memory 总RAM,swap
      • statistics : process_NAME :with NAME replaced by a process name,统计memory size, cpu time等 
      • statistics : file_systems:mount point, size, used
  • client request id: 也即cur_cfg和next_cfg,当一个client修改了数据库的之后,增加next_cfg,然后等待openvswitch应用这些修改,当修改应用完毕,则cur_cfg = next_cfg。如果我们打开/etc/openvswitch/conf.db文件,我们发现,随着我们队openvswitch的配置,cur_cfg是不断++的
  • 对SSL的配置:指向SSL表,主要配置private key, certificate(里面是public key),已经CA的certificate
  • 对ovsdb-server的配置,指向Manager表,ovs-vswitchd作为它的client,配置一下db connection的选项

在SSL表中,包含了经典的SSL connection的所有配置:

openvswitch本身的private key和public key对,其中public key放在certificate中,并且需要CA使用自己的private key进行签名,CA来担保这个certificate是合法的,为了验证这个CA签名,当然需要CA的public key,而CA的public key是放在ca cert里面的,当然也需要被签名,被更高级的CA担保,或者自己担保自己。

bootstrap_ca_cert是一个boolean,如果是true,则每次启动的时候,都会向controller去拿最新的ca cert。

我们如果仔细观察ovsdb-server进程,据发现这些配置被使用了。

ovsdb-server /etc/openvswitch/conf.db -vconsole:emer -vsyslog:err -vfile:info --remote=punix:/var/run/openvswitch/db.sock --private-key=db:Open_vSwitch,SSL,private_key --certificate=db:Open_vSwitch,SSL,certificate --bootstrap-ca-cert=db:Open_vSwitch,SSL,ca_cert --no-chdir --log-file=/var/log/openvswitch/ovsdb-server.log --pidfile=/var/run/openvswitch/ovsdb-server.pid --detach –monitor

我们还可以配置ovs-vswitchd和ovs-controller之间通过ssl相互通信,使用的是双向SSL互信

配置ovs-vswitchd,使用switch的private key(sc-privkey.pem)和public key(sc-cert.pem),但是指定的是controller的CA Cert(cacert.pem)

cd /etc/openvswitch
sudo ovs-pki req+sign sc switch
sudo ovs-vsctl set-ssl \
    /etc/openvswitch/sc-privkey.pem \
    /etc/openvswitch/sc-cert.pem \
    /var/lib/openvswitch/pki/controllerca/cacert.pem

配置并启动controller

cd /etc/openvswitch
sudo ovs-pki req+sign ctl controller
sudo ovs-controller -v pssl:6633 \
     -p /etc/openvswitch/ctl-privkey.pem \
     -c /etc/openvswitch/ctl-cert.pem \
     -C /var/lib/openvswitch/pki/switchca/cacert.pem

这里配置的是controller的的private key(ctl-privkey.pem)和public key(ctl-cert.pem),但是指定的是switch的CA Cert(cacert.pem)

这个SSL机制有关,当建立SSL连接的时候,

Mutual SSL Authentication - Click to enlarge image

当client连接Server的时候,Server会将自己的certificate发给client,将来Client会用Server的certificate来解密Server用private key加密的信息,然而这个certificate是否合法,需要CA进行验证,由于这个certificate是Server的,当然client要使用Server的CA cert进行验证。同理Server会向client请求Client的certificate,来解密Client的private key加密的信息,则会用Client的CA cert进行验证。

当建立ssl连接后,我们可以看到下面的样子:

mininet@mininet:~$ sudo ovs-vsctl show
902d6aa3-6a0a-4708-a286-3301c8b36430
    Bridge "s1"
        Controller "ssl:127.0.0.1:6633"
            is_connected: true
        fail_mode: secure
        Port "s1"
            Interface "s1"
                type: internal
        Port "s1-eth1"
            Interface "s1-eth1"
        Port "s1-eth2"
            Interface "s1-eth2"
    ovs_version: "2.0.1"

连接controller时某一个switch连接到某个controller.

然而连接manager时某一个openvswitch daemon连接到某个manager.

Manager表配置的是ovsdb-server的,他配置了ovsdb-server使用manager_options中的配置来监听端口,等待client来连接。

其中最重要的一项就是target:

  • ssl:ip[:port]:ovsdb-server会监听在ip的port上,协议为ssl
  • tcp:ip[:port]:会监听在ip的port上,协议为tcp
  • pssl:[port][:ip]:会监听在端口port上,协议为ssl
  • ptcp:[port][:ip]:会监听在端口port上,协议为ssl

可以通过下面的命令进行设置:

ovs-vsctl set-manager…
从架构图中我们看出,ovs-vswitchd是ovsdb-server的client,两者是通过unix domain sock /var/run/openvswitch/db.sock进行通信的。
ovs-vsctl也是ovsdb-server的客户端,默认情况下,ovs-vsctl是运行在ovsdb-server同一台机器上,也是通过/var/run/openvswitch/db.sock进行通信的。
我们看ovs-vsctl有参数--db,默认是unix:file,然而也可以是tcp:ip:port或者ssl:ip:port
这就使得ovs-vsctl在另外一台机器上,也能远程控制ovsdb-server.
我们有两台机器,一台16.158.165.153,我们设置manager
sudo ovs-vsctl set-manager ptcp:8881

$ sudo ovs-vsctl show

Open_vSwitch指向Bridge表

image

Bridge表无疑是最重要的表,所谓的virtual switch,多是用bridge来实现的。

Bridge有下面几项配置:

  • 核心功能配置项
    • name
    • ports:指向Port表,
    • mirrors:指向mirror表
    • netflow
    • sflow
    • ipfix
    • flood_vlans:是一些vlan id,对于这些vlan id,mac address learning是不做的,每次寻找mac都进行arp
  • OpenFlow配置项:从架构图中我们可以看出,openvwitch的一个bridge可以通过openflow协议,被一个统一的controller管理的
    • Controller
    • flow_tables
    • fail_mode:
      • 一旦一个bridge连到一个openflow controller,则flow table就由controller统一管理,如果连接断了
      • secure: 这个bridge会试图一直连接controller,并不自己建立flow table
      • standalone:一旦bridge三次连不上controller,就自己建立和管理flow table
    • datapath_id:
  • Spaning Tree配置

单纯创建一个bridge 很简单

ovs-vsctl add-br helloworld,但是里面的若干配置相对比较复杂。

下一节,我们来看Controller
