Specifications

OS / Package Requirements

System Requirements

  • 1 CPU for general system and an additional 0.5 CPU for each switch to be connected to VCE
  • 1G of memory for general system / cache and 200MB of memory for each switch connected to VCE
  • Disk usage (excluding base OS) 5G of space for the installation / configuration, depending on how long you want to keep the logs, each switch process will create approximately 2MB/day for logs

VCE uses a few different tools for collecting statistics. You'll want to set aside some resources for these as well.

  • Grafana (minimum 256MB ram, 1 cpu)
  • Redis (minimum 512MB ram, 1 cpu)
  • SIMP (minimum 512MB ram, 1 cpu) for every 10 nodes
  • TSDS (minimum 1GB ram, 2 cpu) for every 10 nodes

Other Considerations

Additional tools / authentication may require additional resources, please review any additional tools / applications you will install on the VCE server to verify they will fit in these system requirements.

Ex. for a 3 switch VCE instance and 2 days of logs: 3 CPUs 1.6G of memory additional 6G of disk space for the installation and logs

Network Access / Firewall

Inbound:

  • HTTP (80)
  • HTTPS (443)

Outbound (to switches):

  • SSH (22)
  • NETCONF (830)
