P4 PI庫安裝

repo：Github PI

P4Runtime - a control plane framework and tools for the P4 programming language

這個是P4社區目前正在開發的一個repo，根據它給的介紹，是一個控制平面的架構，提供了管理P4交換機的工具。接下來持續跟進它。

首先要安裝相關依賴：

sudo apt-get install libjudy-dev libreadline-dev

git submodule update --init --recursive

配置：

./autogen.sh
./configure [--with-bmv2] [--with-proto]

若是安裝了bmv2，加上--with-bmv2；若是要使用p4runtime.proto 則須要安裝Google的protobuf。

使用bmv2參數配置信息以下：

Features recap ......................................
Compile for bmv2 ............................. : yes
  simple_switch found ........................ : yes
Compile C++ frontend ......................... : no
Compile p4runtime.proto and associated fe .... : no
Compile internal RPC ......................... : yes
Compile PI C CLI ............................. : yes

make

make不報錯則證實安裝成功了。

實驗

Terminal A：

simple_switch tests/testdata/simple_router.json

啓動交換機；

Terminal B：

./CLI/pi_CLI_bmv2 -c tests/testdata/simple_router.json

啓動CLI；

在CLI中能夠對交換機進行相關配置：
