Deploy SD-Core with Control Plane and User Plane Separation¶
This guide covers how to install a SD-Core 5G core network with Control Plane and User Plane Separation (CUPS).
Requirements¶
Juju >= 3.1
A Juju controller has been bootstrapped, and is externally reachable
A Control Plane Kubernetes cluster configured with
1 available IP address for the Access and Mobility Management Function (AMF)
A User Plane Kubernetes cluster configured with
1 available IP address for the User Plane Function (UPF)
Multus
MACVLAN or SR-IOV interfaces for Access and Core networks
1 Juju cloud per Kubernetes cluster named
control-plane-cloud
anduser-plane-cloud
respectively
Deploy SD-Core Control Plane¶
Create a Juju overlay file.
cat << EOF > control-plane-overlay.yaml
applications:
amf:
options:
external-amf-ip: 10.201.0.201
external-amf-hostname: amf.core
EOF
Create a Juju model to represent the Control Plane.
juju add-model control-plane control-plane-cloud
Deploy the control plane bundle.
juju deploy sdcore-control-plane-k8s --trust --channel=1.3/beta --overlay control-plane-overlay.yaml
Expose the integration offer for the AMF N2 interface.
juju offer control-plane.amf:fiveg-n2
Deploy SD-Core User Plane¶
Create a Juju overlay file.
cat << EOF > upf-overlay.yaml
applications:
upf:
options:
access-gateway-ip: 10.202.0.1
access-interface: access
access-ip: 10.202.0.10/24
core-gateway-ip: 10.203.0.1
core-interface: core
core-ip: 10.203.0.10/24
gnb-subnet: 10.204.0.0/24
EOF
Create a Juju model.
juju add-model user-plane user-plane-cloud
Deploy the user plane bundle.
juju deploy sdcore-user-plane-k8s --trust --channel=1.3/beta --overlay upf-overlay.yaml
