FDB L2 agent extension
|
||||
----------------------
|
||||
The FDB population is an L2 agent extension to OVS agent or Linux bridge. Its
|
||||
objective is to update the FDB table for existing instance using normal port.
|
||||
This enables communication between SR-IOV instances and normal instances.
|
||||
The use cases of the FDB population extension are:
|
||||
|
||||
#. Direct port and normal port instances reside on the same compute node.
|
||||
|
||||
#. Direct port instance that uses floating IP address and network node
|
||||
are located on the same host.
|
||||
|
||||
Additional information describing the problem, see:
|
||||
`Virtual switching technologies and Linux bridge.

|
||||
|
||||
.. note::
|
||||
|
||||
This feature is supported from Newton release.
|
||||
|
||||
To enable this extension, edit the relevant L2 agent
|
||||
``ovs_agent.ini/linuxbridge_agent.ini`` config file:
|
||||
|
||||
#. In the ``[agent]`` section, add FDB to the extensions:
|
||||
|
||||
.. code-block:: console
|
||||
|
||||
[agent]
|
||||
extensions = fdb
|
||||
|
||||
#. Add the FDB section and the ``shared_physical_device_mappings`` parameter.
|
||||
This parameter maps each physical port to its physical network name.
|
||||
Each physical network can be mapped to several ports:
|
||||
|
||||
.. code-block:: console
|
||||
|
||||
[FDB]
|
||||
shared_physical_device_mappings = physnet1:p1p1, physnet1:p1p2
|
||||
|
||||

||||
