Using DevStack with neutron Networking
======================================
This guide will walk you through using OpenStack neutron with the ML2
plugin and the Open vSwitch mechanism driver.
.. _single-interface-ovs:
Using Neutron with a Single Interface
=====================================
In some instances, like on a developer laptop, there is only one
network interface that is available. In this scenario, the physical
interface is added to the Open vSwitch bridge, and the IP address of
the laptop is migrated onto the bridge interface. That way, the
physical interface can be used to transmit tenant network traffic,
the OpenStack API traffic, and management traffic.
.. warning::
When using a single interface networking setup, there will be a
temporary network outage as your IP address is moved from the
physical NIC of your machine, to the OVS bridge. If you are SSH'd
into the machine from another computer, there is a risk of being
disconnected from your ssh session (due to arp cache
invalidation), which would stop the stack.sh or leave it in an
unfinished state. In these cases, start stack.sh inside its own
screen session so it can continue to run.
Physical Network Setup
----------------------
In most cases where DevStack is being deployed with a single
interface, there is a hardware router that is being used for external
connectivity and DHCP. The developer machine is connected to this
network and is on a shared subnet with other machines. The
`local.conf` exhibited here assumes that 1500 is a reasonable MTU to
use on that network.
.. nwdiag::
nwdiag {
inet [ shape = cloud ];
router;
inet -- router;
network hardware_network {
address = "172.18.161.0/24"
router [ address = "172.18.161.1" ];
devstack-1 [ address = "172.18.161.6" ];
}
}
DevStack Configuration
----------------------
The following is a complete `local.conf` for the host named
`devstack-1`. It will run all the API and services, as well as
serving as a hypervisor for guest instances.
::
[[local|localrc]]

Adding Additional Compute Nodes
-------------------------------
Let's suppose that after installing DevStack on the first host, you
also want to do multinode testing and networking.
Physical Network Setup
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
.. nwdiag::
nwdiag {
inet [ shape = cloud ];
router;
inet -- router;
network hardware_network {
address = "172.18.161.0/24"
router [ address = "172.18.161.1" ];
devstack-1 [ address = "172.18.161.6" ];
devstack-2 [ address = "172.18.161.7" ];
}
}
After DevStack installs and configures Neutron, traffic from guest VMs
flows out of `devstack-2` (the compute node) and is encapsulated in a
VXLAN tunnel back to `devstack-1` (the control node) where the L3
agent is running.

`br-int` is a bridge that the Open vSwitch mechanism driver creates,
which is used as the "integration bridge" where ports are created, and
plugged into the virtual switching fabric. `br-ex` is an OVS bridge
that is used to connect physical ports (like `eth0`), so that floating
IP traffic for tenants can be received from the physical network
infrastructure (and the internet), and routed to tenant network ports.
`br-tun` is a tunnel bridge that is used to connect OpenStack nodes
(like `devstack-2`) together. This bridge is used so that tenant
network traffic, using the VXLAN tunneling protocol, flows between
each compute node where tenant instances run.
DevStack Compute Configuration
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The host `devstack-2` has a very minimal `local.conf`.
::
[[local|localrc]]
HOST_IP=172.18.161.7
SERVICE_HOST=172.18.161.6
MYSQL_HOST=172.18.161.6
RABBIT_HOST=172.18.161.6
GLANCE_HOSTPORT=172.18.161.6:9292
ADMIN_PASSWORD=secret
MYSQL_PASSWORD=secret
RABBIT_PASSWORD=secret
SERVICE_PASSWORD=secret
## Neutron options
PUBLIC_INTERFACE=eth0
ENABLED_SERVICES=n-cpu,rabbit,q-agt
Network traffic from `eth0` on the compute nodes is then NAT'd by the
controller node that runs Neutron's `neutron-l3-agent` and provides L3
connectivity.
Neutron Networking with Open vSwitch and Provider Networks
==========================================================
In some instances, it is desirable to use neutron's provider
networking extension, so that networks that are configured on an
external router can be utilized by neutron, and instances created via
Nova can attach to the network managed by the external router.
For example, in some lab environments, a hardware router has been
pre-configured by another party, and an OpenStack developer has been
given a VLAN tag and IP address range, so that instances created via
DevStack will use the external router for L3 connectivity, as opposed
to the neutron L3 service.
Physical Network Setup
----------------------
.. nwdiag::
nwdiag {
inet [ shape = cloud ];
router;
inet -- router;
network provider_net {
address = "203.0.113.0/24"
router [ address = "203.0.113.1" ];
controller;
compute1;
compute2;
}
network control_plane {
router [ address = "10.0.0.1" ]
address = "10.0.0.0/24"
controller [ address = "10.0.0.2" ]
compute1 [ address = "10.0.0.3" ]
compute2 [ address = "10.0.0.4" ]
}
}
On a compute node, the first interface, eth0 is used for the OpenStack
management (API, message bus, etc) as well as for ssh for an
administrator to access the machine.
::
stack@compute:~$ ifconfig eth0
eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr bc:16:65:20:af:fc
inet addr:10.0.0.3
eth1 is manually configured at boot to not have an IP address.
Consult your operating system documentation for the appropriate
technique. For Ubuntu, the contents of `/etc/network/interfaces`
contains:
::
auto eth1
iface eth1 inet manual
up ifconfig $IFACE 0.0.0.0 up
down ifconfig $IFACE 0.0.0.0 down
The second physical interface, eth1 is added to a bridge (in this case
named br-ex), which is used to forward network traffic from guest VMs.
::
stack@compute:~$ sudo ovs-vsctl add-br br-ex
stack@compute:~$ sudo ovs-vsctl add-port br-ex eth1
stack@compute:~$ sudo ovs-vsctl show

Service Configuration
---------------------
**Control Node**
In this example, the control node will run the majority of the
OpenStack API and management services (keystone, glance,
nova, neutron)
**Compute Nodes**
In this example, the nodes that will host guest instances will run
the ``neutron-openvswitch-agent`` for network connectivity, as well as
the compute service ``nova-compute``.
DevStack Configuration
----------------------
The following is a snippet of the DevStack configuration on the
controller node.
::
HOST_IP=10.0.0.2
SERVICE_HOST=10.0.0.2
MYSQL_HOST=10.0.0.2
RABBIT_HOST=10.0.0.2
GLANCE_HOSTPORT=10.0.0.2:9292
PUBLIC_INTERFACE=eth1
ADMIN_PASSWORD=secret

## Neutron options
Q_USE_SECGROUP=True
ENABLE_TENANT_VLANS=True
TENANT_VLAN_RANGE=3001:4000
PHYSICAL_NETWORK=default
OVS_PHYSICAL_BRIDGE=br-ex
Q_USE_PROVIDER_NETWORKING=True
Q_L3_ENABLED=False
# Do not use Nova-Network

# Neutron
ENABLED_SERVICES+=,q-svc,q-dhcp,q-meta,q-agt
## Neutron Networking options used to create Neutron Subnets
FIXED_RANGE="203.0.113.0/24"
NETWORK_GATEWAY=203.0.113.1
PROVIDER_SUBNET_NAME="provider_net"
PROVIDER_NETWORK_TYPE="vlan"
SEGMENTATION_ID=2010
In this configuration we are defining FIXED_RANGE to be a
publicly routed IPv4 subnet. In this specific instance we are using
the special TEST-NET-3 subnet defined in `RFC 5737 <http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc5737>`_,
which is used for documentation. In your DevStack setup, FIXED_RANGE
would be a public IP address range that you or your organization has
allocated to you, so that you could access your instances from the
public internet.
The following is the DevStack configuration on
compute node 1.
::
HOST_IP=10.0.0.3
SERVICE_HOST=10.0.0.2
MYSQL_HOST=10.0.0.2
RABBIT_HOST=10.0.0.2
GLANCE_HOSTPORT=10.0.0.2:9292
ADMIN_PASSWORD=secret
MYSQL_PASSWORD=secret
RABBIT_PASSWORD=secret
SERVICE_PASSWORD=secret
# Services that a compute node runs
ENABLED_SERVICES=n-cpu,rabbit,q-agt
## Open vSwitch provider networking options
PHYSICAL_NETWORK=default
OVS_PHYSICAL_BRIDGE=br-ex
PUBLIC_INTERFACE=eth1
Q_USE_PROVIDER_NETWORKING=True
Q_L3_ENABLED=False
Compute node 2's configuration will be exactly the same, except
``HOST_IP`` will be ``10.0.0.4``
When DevStack is configured to use provider networking (via
``Q_USE_PROVIDER_NETWORKING`` is True and ``Q_L3_ENABLED`` is False) -
DevStack will automatically add the network interface defined in
``PUBLIC_INTERFACE`` to the ``OVS_PHYSICAL_BRIDGE``
For example, with the above configuration, a bridge is
created, named ``br-ex`` which is managed by Open vSwitch, and the
second interface on the compute node, ``eth1`` is attached to the
bridge, to forward traffic sent by guest VMs.
Miscellaneous Tips
==================
Non-Standard MTU on the Physical Network
----------------------------------------
DevStack defaults to assume that the MTU on the physical network
is 1500. A different MTU can be specified by adding the following to
the `localrc` part of `local.conf` on each machine.
::
Q_ML2_PLUGIN_PATH_MTU=1500
Disabling Next Generation Firewall Tools
----------------------------------------
DevStack does not properly operate with modern firewall tools. Specifically
it will appear as if the guest VM can access the external network via ICMP,
but UDP and TCP packets will not be delivered to the guest VM. The root cause
of the issue is that both ufw (Uncomplicated Firewall) and firewalld (Fedora's
firewall manager) apply firewall rules to all interfaces in the system, rather
then per-device. One solution to this problem is to revert to iptables
functionality.
To get a functional firewall configuration for Fedora do the following:
::
sudo service iptables save
sudo systemctl disable firewalld
sudo systemctl enable iptables
sudo systemctl stop firewalld
sudo systemctl start iptables
To get a functional firewall configuration for distributions containing ufw,
disable ufw. Note ufw is generally not enabled by default in Ubuntu. To
disable ufw if it was enabled, do the following:
::
sudo service iptables save
sudo ufw disable
Configuring Extension Drivers for the ML2 Plugin
------------------------------------------------
Extension drivers for the ML2 plugin are set with the variable
``Q_ML2_PLUGIN_EXT_DRIVERS``, and includes the 'port_security' extension
by default. If you want to remove all the extension drivers (even
'port_security'), set ``Q_ML2_PLUGIN_EXT_DRIVERS`` to blank.
Using Linux Bridge instead of Open vSwitch
------------------------------------------
The configuration for using the Linux Bridge ML2 driver is fairly
straight forward. The Linux Bridge configuration for DevStack is similar
to the :ref:`Open vSwitch based single interface <single-interface-ovs>`
setup, with small modifications for the interface mappings.
