# How to get Thunderbolt Network up and running

Main idea is from [here](https://gist.github.com/scyto/76e94832927a89d977ea989da157e9dc), but I like to be able to copy paste a bit more comfortable.

## Assumptions

This manual was used on Intel NUC 13th generation with 2 TB4 Ports.

## On all Nodes

Optional package to track which node can see which other one.
```python
apt install -y lldpd
```

Mandatory packages.
```python
apt install -y lsb-release
curl -s https://deb.frrouting.org/frr/keys.gpg | sudo tee /usr/share/keyrings/frrouting.gpg > /dev/null
FRRVER="frr-stable"
echo deb '[signed-by=/usr/share/keyrings/frrouting.gpg]' https://deb.frrouting.org/frr \
     $(lsb_release -s -c) $FRRVER | sudo tee -a /etc/apt/sources.list.d/frr.list
apt update
apt install -y frr
```

Add kernel modules.
```python
# remove empty lines
sed '/^$/d' /etc/modules > temp.txt && mv temp.txt /etc/modules

# add modules
tee -a /etc/modules <<EOF
thunderbolt
thunderbolt-net
EOF
```

Add the thunderbolt links.
```python
tee -a /etc/systemd/network/00-thunderbolt0.link <<EOF
[Match]
Path=pci-0000:00:0d.2
Driver=thunderbolt-net
[Link]
MACAddressPolicy=none
Name=en05
EOF

tee -a /etc/systemd/network/00-thunderbolt1.link <<EOF
[Match]
Path=pci-0000:00:0d.3
Driver=thunderbolt-net
[Link]
MACAddressPolicy=none
Name=en06
EOF
```

Automatic setup of interface to be up after reboot or cable insertion.
```python
tee -a /etc/udev/rules.d/10-tb-en.rules <<EOF
ACTION=="move", SUBSYSTEM=="net", KERNEL=="en05", RUN+="/usr/local/bin/pve-en05.sh"
ACTION=="move", SUBSYSTEM=="net", KERNEL=="en06", RUN+="/usr/local/bin/pve-en06.sh"
EOF

tee -a /usr/local/bin/pve-en05.sh <<EOF
#!/bin/bash
/usr/sbin/ifup en05
EOF

tee -a /usr/local/bin/pve-en06.sh <<EOF
#!/bin/bash
/usr/sbin/ifup en06
EOF

chmod +x /usr/local/bin/pve-en05.sh
chmod +x /usr/local/bin/pve-en06.sh
```

Enable IPv4 forwarding.
```python3
sed -i "s/\#net.ipv4.ip_forward\=1/net.ipv4.ip_forward\=1/" /etc/sysctl.conf
```

Presetup and configuration of FRR.
```python
sed -i "s/fabricd=no/fabricd=yes/" /etc/frr/daemons
systemctl restart frr
```

Make sure interface is coming up!

```python
tee -a /usr/local/bin/restart-frr.sh <<EOF
#!/bin/sh
# Delayed start script to tell frr to reload ensuring that it sees thunderbolt links towards other nodes.
# condition: is there any tbt network interface and frr service up
COUNTER=0
while [ ${COUNTER} -lt 5 ]; do
        sleep 1;
        TEST=$(ip a | grep ": en0" | grep "UP" | awk 'BEGIN { ORS=""}; {print $2}')
        if [ ${#TEST} -ge 2 ]; then
                TEST_SVC=$(service frr status | grep "active (running)")
                if [ ${#TEST_SVC} -ge 2 ]; then
                        service frr reload;
                        echo "frr service reload request sent"
                        exit 0;
                fi
        fi
        COUNTER=$((COUNTER+1));
done
echo "Failed to request frr service reload: request NOT sent"
exit 1;
EOF
chmod +x /usr/local/bin/restart-frr.sh

# create systemd service and make it autoboot
tee -a /etc/systemd/system/frr-restarter.service <<EOF

systemctl daemon-reload
systemctl enable frr-restarter
```

## Different settings per Node!

Adjust the `/etc/network/interfaces`. Remove any section that belongs to any auto added **thunderbolt0** or **thunderbolt1** interface.

**Node 1**
```python
sed -i '/iface lo inet loopback/a\
\
auto lo:0\niface lo:0 inet static\n        address 10.0.0.81/32' /etc/network/interfaces
sed -i '/^source \/etc\/network\/interfaces\.d\/\*$/d' /etc/network/interfaces
sed '${/^$/d;}' /etc/network/interfaces > temp.txt && mv temp.txt /etc/network/interfaces

tee -a /etc/network/interfaces <<EOF
auto en05
allow-hotplug en05
iface en05 inet manual
       mtu 65520

auto en06
allow-hotplug en06
iface en06 inet manual
       mtu 65520
EOF
```

**Node 2**
```python
sed -i '/iface lo inet loopback/a\
\
auto lo:0\niface lo:0 inet static\n        address 10.0.0.82/32' /etc/network/interfaces
sed -i '/^source \/etc\/network\/interfaces\.d\/\*$/d' /etc/network/interfaces
sed '${/^$/d;}' /etc/network/interfaces > temp.txt && mv temp.txt /etc/network/interfaces

tee -a /etc/network/interfaces <<EOF
allow-hotplug en05
iface en05 inet manual
       mtu 65520

allow-hotplug en06
iface en06 inet manual
       mtu 65520
EOF
```

**Node 3**
```python
sed -i '/iface lo inet loopback/a\
\
auto lo:0\niface lo:0 inet static\n        address 10.0.0.83/32' /etc/network/interfaces
sed -i '/^source \/etc\/network\/interfaces\.d\/\*$/d' /etc/network/interfaces
sed '${/^$/d;}' /etc/network/interfaces > temp.txt && mv temp.txt /etc/network/interfaces

tee -a /etc/network/interfaces <<EOF
allow-hotplug en05
iface en05 inet manual
       mtu 65520

allow-hotplug en06
iface en06 inet manual
       mtu 65520
EOF
```

Open VTYSH CLI.
```python
vtysh
```

Enter config mode.
```python
configure
```

**Node 1**
```python
ip forwarding
!
interface en05
ip router openfabric 1
exit
!
interface en06
ip router openfabric 1
exit
!
interface lo
ip router openfabric 1
openfabric passive
exit
!
router openfabric 1
net 49.0000.0000.0001.00
exit
!

end
write memory
exit

# Doublecheck correct config
vtysh -c "show running-config"
```

**Node 2**
```python
ip forwarding
!
interface en05
ip router openfabric 1
exit
!
interface en06
ip router openfabric 1
exit
!
interface lo
ip router openfabric 1
openfabric passive
exit
!
router openfabric 1
net 49.0000.0000.0002.00
exit
!

end
write memory
exit

# Doublecheck correct config
vtysh -c "show running-config"
```

**Node 3**
```python
ip forwarding
!
interface en05
ip router openfabric 1
exit
!
interface en06
ip router openfabric 1
exit
!
interface lo
ip router openfabric 1
openfabric passive
exit
!
router openfabric 1
net 49.0000.0000.0003.00
exit
!

end
write memory
exit

# Doublecheck correct config
vtysh -c "show running-config"
```

Time for the reboot.
```
/sbin/reboot
```

## Debugging
```python
# shows the actual configuration
vtysh -c "show running-config"
```

```python
# shows all links
vtysh -c "show openfabric topology"
```
