Networking Option 1: Provider networks ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Install and configure the Networking components on the *controller* node. Install the components ---------------------- .. code-block:: console # apt install neutron-server neutron-plugin-ml2 \ neutron-openvswitch-agent neutron-dhcp-agent \ neutron-metadata-agent .. end Configure the server component ------------------------------ The Networking server component configuration includes the database, authentication mechanism, message queue, topology change notifications, and plug-in. .. include:: shared/note_configuration_vary_by_distribution.rst * Edit the ``/etc/neutron/neutron.conf`` file and complete the following actions: * In the ``[database]`` section, configure database access: .. path /etc/neutron/neutron.conf .. code-block:: ini [database] # ... connection = mysql+pymysql://neutron:NEUTRON_DBPASS@controller/neutron .. end Replace ``NEUTRON_DBPASS`` with the password you chose for the database. .. note:: Comment out or remove any other ``connection`` options in the ``[database]`` section. * In the ``[DEFAULT]`` section, enable the Modular Layer 2 (ML2) plug-in and disable additional plug-ins: .. path /etc/neutron/neutron.conf .. code-block:: ini [DEFAULT] # ... core_plugin = ml2 service_plugins = .. end * In the ``[DEFAULT]`` section, configure ``RabbitMQ`` message queue access: .. path /etc/neutron/neutron.conf .. code-block:: ini [DEFAULT] # ... transport_url = rabbit://openstack:RABBIT_PASS@controller .. end Replace ``RABBIT_PASS`` with the password you chose for the ``openstack`` account in RabbitMQ. * In the ``[DEFAULT]`` and ``[keystone_authtoken]`` sections, configure Identity service access: .. path /etc/neutron/neutron.conf .. code-block:: ini [DEFAULT] # ... auth_strategy = keystone [keystone_authtoken] # ... www_authenticate_uri = http://controller:5000 auth_url = http://controller:5000 memcached_servers = controller:11211 auth_type = password project_domain_name = Default user_domain_name = Default project_name = service username = neutron password = NEUTRON_PASS .. end Replace ``NEUTRON_PASS`` with the password you chose for the ``neutron`` user in the Identity service. .. note:: Comment out or remove any other options in the ``[keystone_authtoken]`` section. * In the ``[DEFAULT]`` and ``[nova]`` sections, configure Networking to notify Compute of network topology changes: .. path /etc/neutron/neutron.conf .. code-block:: ini [DEFAULT] # ... notify_nova_on_port_status_changes = true notify_nova_on_port_data_changes = true [nova] # ... auth_url = http://controller:5000 auth_type = password project_domain_name = Default user_domain_name = Default region_name = RegionOne project_name = service username = nova password = NOVA_PASS .. end Replace ``NOVA_PASS`` with the password you chose for the ``nova`` user in the Identity service. * In the ``[oslo_concurrency]`` section, configure the lock path: .. path /etc/neutron/neutron.conf .. code-block:: ini [oslo_concurrency] # ... lock_path = /var/lib/neutron/tmp .. end Configure the Modular Layer 2 (ML2) plug-in ------------------------------------------- The ML2 plug-in uses the Linux bridge mechanism to build layer-2 (bridging and switching) virtual networking infrastructure for instances. * Edit the ``/etc/neutron/plugins/ml2/ml2_conf.ini`` file and complete the following actions: * In the ``[ml2]`` section, enable flat and VLAN networks: .. path /etc/neutron/plugins/ml2/ml2_conf.ini .. code-block:: ini [ml2] # ... type_drivers = flat,vlan .. end * In the ``[ml2]`` section, disable self-service networks: .. path /etc/neutron/plugins/ml2/ml2_conf.ini .. code-block:: ini [ml2] # ... tenant_network_types = .. end * In the ``[ml2]`` section, enable the Linux bridge mechanism: .. path /etc/neutron/plugins/ml2/ml2_conf.ini .. code-block:: ini [ml2] # ... mechanism_drivers = openvswitch .. end .. warning:: After you configure the ML2 plug-in, removing values in the ``type_drivers`` option can lead to database inconsistency. * In the ``[ml2]`` section, enable the port security extension driver: .. path /etc/neutron/plugins/ml2/ml2_conf.ini .. code-block:: ini [ml2] # ... extension_drivers = port_security .. end * In the ``[ml2_type_flat]`` section, configure the provider virtual network as a flat network: .. path /etc/neutron/plugins/ml2/ml2_conf.ini .. code-block:: ini [ml2_type_flat] # ... flat_networks = provider .. end Configure the Open vSwitch agent -------------------------------- The Linux bridge agent builds layer-2 (bridging and switching) virtual networking infrastructure for instances and handles security groups. * Edit the ``/etc/neutron/plugins/ml2/openvswitch_agent.ini`` file and complete the following actions: * In the ``[ovs]`` section, map the provider virtual network to the provider physical bridge: .. path /etc/neutron/plugins/ml2/openvswitch_agent.ini .. code-block:: ini [ovs] bridge_mappings = provider:PROVIDER_BRIDGE_NAME .. end Replace ``PROVIDER_BRIDGE_NAME`` with the name of the bridge connected to the underlying provider physical network. See :doc:`environment-networking-ubuntu` and :doc:`../admin/deploy-ovs-provider` for more information. * Ensure ``PROVIDER_BRIDGE_NAME`` external bridge is created and ``PROVIDER_INTERFACE_NAME`` is added to that bridge .. code-block:: bash # ovs-vsctl add-br $PROVIDER_BRIDGE_NAME # ovs-vsctl add-port $PROVIDER_BRIDGE_NAME $PROVIDER_INTERFACE_NAME .. end * In the ``[securitygroup]`` section, enable security groups and configure the Open vSwitch native or the hybrid iptables firewall driver: .. path /etc/neutron/plugins/ml2/openvswitch_agent.ini .. code-block:: ini [securitygroup] # ... enable_security_group = true firewall_driver = openvswitch #firewall_driver = iptables_hybrid .. end * In the case of using the hybrid iptables firewall driver, ensure your Linux operating system kernel supports network bridge filters by verifying all the following ``sysctl`` values are set to ``1``: .. code-block:: ini net.bridge.bridge-nf-call-iptables net.bridge.bridge-nf-call-ip6tables .. end To enable networking bridge support, typically the ``br_netfilter`` kernel module needs to be loaded. Check your operating system's documentation for additional details on enabling this module. Configure the DHCP agent ------------------------ The DHCP agent provides DHCP services for virtual networks. * Edit the ``/etc/neutron/dhcp_agent.ini`` file and complete the following actions: * In the ``[DEFAULT]`` section, configure the Linux bridge interface driver, Dnsmasq DHCP driver, and enable isolated metadata so instances on provider networks can access metadata over the network: .. path /etc/neutron/dhcp_agent.ini .. code-block:: ini [DEFAULT] # ... interface_driver = openvswitch dhcp_driver = neutron.agent.linux.dhcp.Dnsmasq enable_isolated_metadata = true .. end Create the provider network --------------------------- Follow `this provider network document `_ from the General Installation Guide.
