caoyuan 68a7ef0c59 Update auth_url in install docs
Beginning with the Queens release, the keystone install guide
recommends running all interfaces on the same port. This patch
updates the install guide to reflect that change.

Networking Option 1: Provider networks

Install and configure the Networking components on the controller node.

Install the components

# yum install openstack-neutron openstack-neutron-ml2 \
  openstack-neutron-linuxbridge ebtables

Configure the server component

The Networking server component configuration includes the database, authentication mechanism, message queue, topology change notifications, and plug-in.

  • Edit the /etc/neutron/neutron.conf file and complete the following actions:

    • In the [database] section, configure database access:

      [database]
      # ...
      connection = mysql+pymysql://neutron:NEUTRON_DBPASS@controller/neutron

      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:

      [DEFAULT]
      # ...
      core_plugin = ml2
      service_plugins =
    • In the [DEFAULT] section, configure RabbitMQ message queue access:

      [DEFAULT]
      # ...
      transport_url = rabbit://openstack:RABBIT_PASS@controller

      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:

      [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

      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:

      [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

      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:

    [oslo_concurrency]
    # ...
    lock_path = /var/lib/neutron/tmp

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:

      [ml2]
      # ...
      type_drivers = flat,vlan
    • In the [ml2] section, disable self-service networks:

      [ml2]
      # ...
      tenant_network_types =
    • In the [ml2] section, enable the Linux bridge mechanism:

      [ml2]
      # ...
      mechanism_drivers = linuxbridge

      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:

      [ml2]
      # ...
      extension_drivers = port_security
    • In the [ml2_type_flat] section, configure the provider virtual network as a flat network:

      [ml2_type_flat]
      # ...
      flat_networks = provider
    • In the [securitygroup] section, enable ipset to increase efficiency of security group rules:

      [securitygroup]
      # ...
      enable_ipset = true

Configure the Linux bridge 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/linuxbridge_agent.ini file and complete the following actions:
    • In the [linux_bridge] section, map the provider virtual network to the provider physical network interface:

      [linux_bridge]
      physical_interface_mappings = provider:PROVIDER_INTERFACE_NAME

      Replace PROVIDER_INTERFACE_NAME with the name of the underlying provider physical network interface. See environment-networking-rdo for more information.

    • In the [vxlan] section, disable VXLAN overlay networks:

      [vxlan]
      enable_vxlan = false
    • In the [securitygroup] section, enable security groups and configure the Linux bridge iptables firewall driver:

      [securitygroup]
      # ...
      enable_security_group = true
      firewall_driver = neutron.agent.linux.iptables_firewall.IptablesFirewallDriver
    • Ensure your Linux operating system kernel supports network bridge filters by verifying all the following sysctl values are set to 1:

      net.bridge.bridge-nf-call-iptables
      net.bridge.bridge-nf-call-ip6tables

      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:

      [DEFAULT]
      # ...
      interface_driver = linuxbridge
      dhcp_driver = neutron.agent.linux.dhcp.Dnsmasq
      enable_isolated_metadata = true

Return to Networking controller node configuration.
