Using DevStack with neutron Networking
======================================
This guide will walk you through using OpenStack neutron with the ML2
plugin and the Open vSwitch mechanism driver.
Network Interface Configuration
===============================
To use neutron, it is suggested that two network interfaces be present
in the host operating system.
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:192.168.1.18
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 $IFACE 0.0.0.0 down
The second physical interface, eth1 is added to a bridge (in this case
named br-ex), which is used to forward network traffic from guest VMs.
Network traffic from eth1 on the compute nodes is then NAT'd by the
controller node that runs Neutron's `neutron-l3-agent` and provides L3
connectivity.
::
stack@compute:~$ sudo ovs-vsctl add-br br-ex
stack@compute:~$ sudo ovs-vsctl add-port br-ex eth1
stack@compute:~$ sudo ovs-vsctl show
9a25c837-32ab-45f6-b9f2-1dd888abcf0f
Bridge br-ex
Port br-ex
Interface br-ex
type: internal
Port phy-br-ex
Interface phy-br-ex
type: patch
options: {peer=int-br-ex}
Port "eth1"
Interface "eth1"
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
Neutron Networking with Open vSwitch
====================================
Configuring neutron, OpenStack Networking in DevStack is very similar to
configuring `nova-network` - many of the same configuration variables
(like `FIXED_RANGE` and `FLOATING_RANGE`) used by `nova-network` are
used by neutron, which is intentional.
The only difference is the disabling of `nova-network` in your
local.conf, and the enabling of the neutron components.
Configuration
-------------
::
FIXED_RANGE=10.0.0.0/24
FLOATING_RANGE=192.168.27.0/24
PUBLIC_NETWORK_GATEWAY=192.168.27.2
disable_service n-net
enable_service q-svc
enable_service q-agt
enable_service q-dhcp
enable_service q-meta
enable_service q-l3
Q_USE_SECGROUP=True
ENABLE_TENANT_VLANS=True
TENANT_VLAN_RANGE=1000:1999
PHYSICAL_NETWORK=default
OVS_PHYSICAL_BRIDGE=br-ex
In this configuration we are defining FLOATING_RANGE to be a
subnet that exists in the private RFC1918 address space - however in
in a real setup FLOATING_RANGE would be a public IP address range.
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.
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.
::
PUBLIC_INTERFACE=eth1
## 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
disable_service n-net
# Neutron
ENABLED_SERVICES+=,q-svc,q-dhcp,q-meta,q-agt
## Neutron Networking options used to create Neutron Subnets
FIXED_RANGE="10.1.1.0/24"
PROVIDER_SUBNET_NAME="provider_net"
PROVIDER_NETWORK_TYPE="vlan"
SEGMENTATION_ID=2010
In this configuration we are defining FIXED_RANGE to be a
subnet that exists in the private RFC1918 address space - however
in a real setup FIXED_RANGE would be a public IP address range, so
that you could access your instances from the public internet.
The following is a snippet of the DevStack configuration on the
compute node.
::
# Services that a compute node runs
ENABLED_SERVICES=n-cpu,rabbit,q-agt
## Neutron options
Q_USE_SECGROUP=True
ENABLE_TENANT_VLANS=True
TENANT_VLAN_RANGE=3001:4000
PHYSICAL_NETWORK=default
OVS_PHYSICAL_BRIDGE=br-ex
PUBLIC_INTERFACE=eth1
Q_USE_PROVIDER_NETWORKING=True
Q_L3_ENABLED=False
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.
