Currently packages are built only for the latest supported releases. The packages can be installed using dnf:
dnf -y copr enable bisdn/rofl
dnf -y copr enable bisdn/baseboxd
dnf -y install baseboxd
Copr repos are provided at https://copr.fedorainfracloud.org/coprs/bisdn/ The "-testing" repos contain the latest builds for testing purposes and might not be as stable as the release versions.
A Vagrant file is included that let's you create a VM with all dependencies installed. This is an easy way to build baseboxd without having to worry about libraries.
git clone https://github.com/bisdn/basebox.git
cd basebox
git submodule update --init
vagrant up
More information how to use the Vagrant VM can be found here.
Currently only installation from source is supported. To build baseboxd you need the following dependencies installed:
- libnl3 (> 3.4)
- rofl-common (>= 0.13.1)
- rofl-ofdpa (>= 0.13)
- gflags
- glog (>= 0.3.3)
- protobuf (>= 3.5.0)
- grpc
- grpc cpp plugin
Then you can install baseboxd:
git clone --recursive https://github.com/bisdn/basebox.git
cd basebox
meson build
ninja -C build
ip link add type bridge
ip link set bridge0 type bridge vlan_filtering 1
ip link set bridge0 up
ip link set port1 master bridge0
ip link set port2 master bridge0
ip link set port1 nomaster
ip link set port2 nomaster
bridge vlan add vid 2 dev port1
bridge vlan add vid 2-4 dev port2
bridge vlan del vid 2 dev port1
bridge vlan del vid 2-4 dev port2
bridge fdb add 68:05:ca:30:63:69 dev port1 master vlan 1
bridge fdb del 68:05:ca:30:63:69 dev port1 master vlan 1
