How to Load and Start cRPD on SONiC
To load the cRPD package on SONiC, you need to:
-
Download the cRPD package from Juniper’s software downloads page at https://support.juniper.net/support/downloads/. The cRPD package file name for example is junos-routing-crpd-docker-20.3R1.8.tgz
Transfer the cRPD package to your QFX5210 or QFX5200 switches using scp or sftp file transfer protocol.
The following sections explain how to load and start cRPD on SONiC for QFX5210 or QFX5200 switches:
- Load the cRPD Image into Docker
- Verify that cRPD Image is Properly Loaded
- Create and Start the cRPD Container
- Enable RPD connection to fpmsyncd
Load the cRPD Image into Docker
To load the cRPD image into docker, use the docker load -i
junos-routing-crpd-docker-20.3R1.8.tgz command as shown
below:

Create and Start the cRPD Container
This section describes how to create, start, and access the cRPD container.
To create the cRPD container, use the docker create --name crpd -h crpd
--net=host --privileged -it crpd:20.3R1.8
b7444647abb7977e0b7eaa884ace8b47bab3632ff2f3f67091d9734a58fa686b command as
shown below:
user@host:~$ docker create --name crpd -h crpd --net=host --privileged -it crpd:20.3R1.8 b7444647abb7977e0b7eaa884ace8b47bab3632ff2f3f67091d9734a58fa686b user@host:~$
You need to stop zebra and bgpd daemons on the BGP
container by running the docker exec bgp supervisorctl stop zebra bgpd
command as shown below:
user@host:~$ docker exec bgp supervisorctl stop zebra bgpd zebra: stopped bgpd: stopped user@host:~$
To start the cRPD container, use the docker start crpd command as shown
below:
user@host:~$ docker start crpd crpd user@host:~$
To access the cRPD container, use the docker exec -it crpd command as
shown below:
user@host:~$ docker exec -it crpd cli root@crpd>
Enable RPD connection to fpmsyncd
To enable RPD connection to fpmsyncd, you need to enter the configuration mode and enable
fib-agent at the [edit routing-options
forwarding-table] hierarchy level as shown below:
root@crpd> configure Entering configuration mode [edit] root@crpd# set routing-options forwarding-table fib-agent [edit] root@crpd# commit and-quit commit complete Exiting configuration mode root@crpd>
Once cRPD is up and running, you can configure BGP from the cRPD CLI. The following is a sample BGP configuration:
user@host:~$ docker exec -it crpd cli
root@crpd> configure
Entering configuration mode
root@crpd# show protocols
bgp {
group EBGPv4 {
type external;
neighbor 192.168.1.2 {
description <neighbor_description>;
local-address 192.168.1.4;
peer-as 65000;
}
}
}
