NDP proxy
=========
If NDP proxy is set on a router, it is used to publish IPv6 addresses to
external routers. Its purpose is similar to floating IP, but it forwards the
traffic directly by using route rules and has no NAT action. Read the related
`specification <https://specs.openstack.org/openstack/neutron-specs/specs/xena/l3-router-support-ndp-proxy.html>`_
for more details.
Configuration of NDP proxy
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
To configure NDP proxy, take the following steps:
* On the controller nodes:
Add the ``ndp_proxy`` service to the ``service_plugins`` setting in
the ``[DEFAULT]`` section of ``/etc/neutron/neutron.conf``. For example:
.. code-block:: ini
[DEFAULT]
service_plugins = router,ndp_proxy
.. note::
The ``router`` service plug-in has to be configured along with the
``ndp_proxy`` service plug-in.
* On the network nodes or the compute nodes (for the dvr mode router):
Set the ``extensions`` option in the ``[agent]`` section of
``/etc/neutron/l3_agent.ini`` to include ``ndp_proxy``. This has to be
done in each network and compute node where the L3 agent is running. For
example:
.. code-block:: ini
extensions = ndp_proxy
.. note::
After updating the options in the configuration files, the neutron-server
and every neutron-l3-agent need to be restarted for the new values to take
effect.
After configuring NDP proxy, the ``ndp-proxy`` extension alias will be
included in the output of the following command:
For API extension:
.. code-block:: console
$ openstack extension list --network
For agent extension:
.. code-block:: console
$ openstack network agent show <l3-agent-id>
.. note::
We introduced a new command ``ndsend`` for the NDP proxy feature, the command can
send Neighbor Advertisement about IPv6 to upstream router. With this command,
we can make the upstream router rapidly perceive the change of internal IPv6
address (such as, port migrated to other node). Read the
`manual page <http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/focal/man8/ndsend.8.html>`_
for more details about this command.
Currently, you need to install this command manually in every L3 agent node. For
Ubuntu, the command is provided by the ``vzctl`` pkg, the install command:
``sudo apt install vzctl``.
* On the upstream router (the datacenter's physical router):
Generally, the admin operator should plan one or more IPv6 subnetpools to use
when NDP proxy is enabled, so that all internal subnets can be allocated from
a single, integrated subnetpool. In order to make NDP proxy work correctly,
the admin operator needs to set direct routes for these subnetpools.
Such as, we have a IPv6 subnetpool, it's CIDR is 2001:db8::/96. The direct route
like below should be set:
.. code-block:: none
2001:db8::/96 dev <ext-gw>
The ``ext-gw`` is the gateway interface of the cloud's external network.
User workflow
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The basic steps to publish an IPv6 address to an external
network (such as: public network) are the following:
.. note::
In order to prevent a potential
`security risk <https://bugs.launchpad.net/neutron/+bug/1987410>`_,
the NDP proxy feature requires that an IPv6 address scope be used to
ensure the uniqueness of the IPv6 address which is published externally.

#. Set external gateway for the router:
.. code-block:: console
$ openstack router set test-router --external-gateway public
.. note::
If the external network has no IPv6 subnet and the ``ipv6_gateway`` is
configured on the ``neutron-l3-agent``, you may want to set
``use_lla_address`` to True at ``/etc/neutron/neutron.conf``, otherwise
the following command will raise a 403 error.
#. Enable NDP proxy support on the router:
.. code-block:: console
$ openstack router set test-router --enable-ndp-proxy
.. warning::
If you are using another method (such as:
:ref:`BGP <config-bgp-dynamic-routing-for-ipv6>`,
:ref:`prefix-delegation` etc.) to publish the internal IPv6 address, the
command will break dataplane traffic.
#. Create an internal network and IPv6 subnet and add the subnet to the above router:

You may also need to add a security group rule that allows ICMPv6
traffic towards the instance.
Known limitations
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
- Using NDP proxies in combination with the OVN backend is not supported.
