SDNC, RAN-sim controller and Honeycomb Simulator Setup Locally

SDNC setup

To setup SDNC, firstly download these 2 files:

  1. certs.tar

  2. docker-compose.yml

Unzip certs.tar to the same folder as where you put the downloaded, docker-compose.yml file.

From the same folder as above, run the following command to setup SDNC.

Docker command
docker-compose up -d

SDNC should be up, when this command has ran successfully. 

RAN-sim controller setup

To set up RAN-sim controller follow the steps provided in this page RAN-Sim setup or use the steps below.

  1. Clone and Checkout Ran-Sim Controllergit clone "https://gerrit.onap.org/r/integration/simulators/ran-simulator"

  2. Pull the pre-built docker image using the command 

    Docker pull command for ransim controller

    docker pull docker.io/shsubedi/ransimcontroller:v1



  3. Use the following command to tag the image

    Docker tag command

    docker tag shsubedi/ransimcontroller:v1 onap/ransim:1.0.0-SNAPSHOT



  4. Navigate to '<YOUR_DIRECTORY>/ran-simulator/ransim/docker' directory

  5. Modify the docker-compose.yml file, update the SDNR_IP and SDNR_PORT
    To get the SDNR_IP, run the following command

    Inspect SDNC ip


    SDNR_IP=<SDNC_IP>
    SDNR_PORT=8282

  6. Run the 'docker-compose up -d' command from the '<YOUR_DIRECTORY>/ran-simulator/ransim/docker' directory
    ransim and mariadb should come up, when this command has ran successfully.

Honeycomb simulator setup

To set up the Honeycomb simulator, follow the steps below or the steps in this page Core & RAN Simulators.

  1. Pull the custom honeycomb docker image using the command

    Docker pull command



  2. Clone/download https://github.com/onap-oof-pci-poc/ran-sim

  3. Update ransim and honeycom IP address at '<YOUR_DIRECTORY>/ran-sim/hcsim-content/gnbsim/hc/config/gnbsim.json'
    Make sure the following are updated to.
    To get the ransimIp and hcIp do the following:

    Inspect ransim ip



    • "ransimIp": <ransimIP>

    • "ransimPort": 8081

    • "hcIp": <ransimIP>

    • "hcPort": 2831

  4. Update the image name in the '<YOUR_DIRECTORY>/ran-sim/hcsim-content/gnbsim/hc/docker-compose.yml' to:

    • image: tragait/gnbsim:v1

  5. Run the below command from '<YOUR_DIRECTORY>/ran-sim/hcsim-content/gnbsim/hc' directory

    Docker compose up command

    While running the docker-compose up -d command, these servers will be mounted in SDNC 
    In case these servers are not mounted in SDNC, you can use the following curl command to mount the HC sim.
    To get the ip of the hc sim do the following:


    Inspect hc ip

    Make sure to modify the below curl command, replace HC_SIM_IP with the ip retrieved from previous command.
    Note. If using WSL 2  then the HC_SIM_IP in the below curl command can be replaced with ip address got from doing : 

    wsl hostname -I in the windows powershell. 

    HC sim mount command



  6. Check using 'docker container ls' that the honeycomb simulator is up and running.

Once the above steps have been completed, check if the honeycomb simulator has been mounted in SDNC by going to the following link and clicking on the Mounted Resources section:
 http://localhost:8282/apidoc/explorer/index.html
Note. If using WSL 2 then the localhost can be replaced with ip address got from doing :
wsl hostname -I in the windows powershell.
