Enroll SDRs

A software-defined radio at ExPECA is a networked device with 2 data ports, one SFP and one rj45, all assigned static IPs. These ports are connected to the tenants switch and configured with an static IP in the 10.30.1.0/24 subnet for the RJ45 ports, and 10.30.10.0/24 for the SFP ports. Our approach is to map each port to a network segment (a VLAN on the tenants switch). We register them as network segments in blazar in the following format:

Register the RJ45 port:

openstack reservation network create \
--network-type "vlan" \
--physical-network "physnet1" \
--segment "102" \
--extra segment_subnet="10.30.1.0/24" \
--extra segment_gateway="10.30.1.100" \
--extra vlan_id="102" \
--extra baremetal_ports='[{"name":"sdr_02_rj45","ip-address":"10.30.1.4","binding-profile":{"local_link_information":[{"switch_id":"a0:f8:49:f7:89:d1","port_id":"te1/0/29","switch_info":"tenant-switch"}]}}]'

Register the SFP port:

openstack reservation network create \
--network-type "vlan" \
--physical-network "physnet1" \
--segment "103" \
--extra segment_subnet="10.30.10.0/24" \
--extra segment_gateway="10.30.10.100" \
--extra vlan_id="103" \
--extra baremetal_ports='[{"name":"sdr_02_sfp","ip-address":"10.30.10.4","binding-profile":{"local_link_information":[{"switch_id":"a0:f8:49:f7:89:d1","port_id":"te2/0/14","switch_info":"tenant-switch"}]}}]'

NOTE: It is very important that in local_link_information the switch_info value be set to the tenant switch name in "defaults.yaml".
