<h3 id="server-specifications">Server Specifications</h3>

<p>** Minimum Server Specifications for development and basic deployment **

- CPU: 4 cores

- RAM: 8 GB

- Disk: 60 GB

- 1 GbE NIC</p>

<p>** Recommended Server Specifications for development and basic deployment **

- CPU: 6 cores

- RAM: 12 GB

- Disk: 80 GB

- 1 GbE NIC</p>

<p>** Server Specifications for best development and deployment experience **

- CPU: 8 cores

- RAM: 32 GB

- Disk: 120 GB

- 1 GbE NIC</p>

<p><strong>Minimum Server Specifications for development and basic deployment</strong></p>

</ul>

<p><strong>NOTE</strong>: the specifications listed above are provided as a reference. They depend also on the CPU clock frequency, the RAM memory, the disk technology and speed, etc.</p>

<p>For development purposes, it is recommended to run the VSCode IDE (or the IDE of your choice) in a more powerful server, for instance, the recommended server specifications for development and basic deployment.</p>

<p>Given that TeraFlowSDN follows a micro-services architecture, for the deployment, it might be better to use many clusterized servers with many slower cores than a single server with few highly performant cores.</p>

<h2 id="113-vmware-fusion">1.1.3. VMWare Fusion</h2>

<p>This page describes how to configure a VM for running ETSI TeraFlowSDN(TFS) controller using <a href="https://www.vmware.com/products/fusion.html">VMWare Fusion</a>. It has been tested with VMWare Fusion version 12 and 13.</p>

<h3 id="create-vm-in-vmware-fusion">Create VM in VMWare Fusion:</h3>

<p>In "VMWare Fusion" manager, create a new network from the "Settings/Network" menu.</p>

<ul>

<li>Unlock to make changes</li>

<li>Press the + icon and create a new network</li>

<li>Change the name to TFS-NAT-Net</li>

<li>Check "Allow virtual machines on this network to connect to external network (NAT)"</li>

<li>Do not check "Enable IPv6"</li>

<li>Add port forwarding for HTTP and SSH</li>

<li>Uncheck "Provide address on this network via DHCP"</li>

</ul>

<p>Create a new VM an Ubuntu 22.04.1 ISO:</p>

<ul>

<li>Display Name: TeraFlowSDN</li>

<li>Username: tfs</li>

<li>Password: tfs123</li>

</ul>

<p>On the next screen press "Customize Settings", save the VM and in "Settings" change:

- Change to use 4 CPUs

- Change to access 8 GB of RAM

- Change disk to size 60 GB

- Change the network interface to use the previously created TFS-NAT-Net</p>

<p>Run the VM to start the installation.</p>

<h3 id="install-ubuntu-22041-lts-operating-system">Install Ubuntu 22.04.1 LTS Operating System</h3>

<p>The installation will be automatic, without any configuration required.</p>

<ul>

<li>Configure the guest IP, gateway and DNS:</li>

</ul>

<p>Using the Network Settings for the wired connection, set the IP to 10.0.2.10,

  the mask to 255.255.255.0, the gateway to 10.0.2.2 and the DNS to 10.0.2.2.</p>

<ul>

<li>Disable and remove swap file:</li>

</ul>

<p>$ sudo swapoff -a

  $ sudo rm /swapfile</p>

<p>Then you can remove or comment the /swapfile entry in /etc/fstab</p>

<ul>

<li>Install Open SSH Server</li>

<li>

<p>Import SSH keys, if any.</p>

</li>

<li>

<p>Restart the VM when the installation is completed.</p>

</li>

</ul>
