[RESTPROXY]
add_meta_server_route = True	(BoolOpt) Flag to decide if a route to the metadata server should be injected into the VM
auto_sync_on_failure = True	(BoolOpt) If neutron fails to create a resource because the backend controller doesn't know of a dependency, the plugin automatically triggers a full data synchronization to the controller.
cache_connections = True	(BoolOpt) Re-use HTTP/HTTPS connections to the controller.
consistency_interval = 60	(IntOpt) Time between verifications that the backend controller database is consistent with Neutron. (0 to disable)
neutron_id = neutron-shock	(StrOpt) User defined identifier for this Neutron deployment
no_ssl_validation = False	(BoolOpt) Disables SSL certificate validation for controllers
server_auth = None	(StrOpt) The username and password for authenticating against the Big Switch or Floodlight controller.
server_ssl = True	(BoolOpt) If True, Use SSL when connecting to the Big Switch or Floodlight controller.
server_timeout = 10	(IntOpt) Maximum number of seconds to wait for proxy request to connect and complete.
servers = localhost:8800	(ListOpt) A comma separated list of Big Switch or Floodlight servers and port numbers. The plugin proxies the requests to the Big Switch/Floodlight server, which performs the networking configuration. Only oneserver is needed per deployment, but you may wish todeploy multiple servers to support failover.
ssl_cert_directory = /etc/neutron/plugins/bigswitch/ssl	(StrOpt) Directory containing ca_certs and host_certs certificate directories.
ssl_sticky = True	(BoolOpt) Trust and store the first certificate received for each controller address and use it to validate future connections to that address.
sync_data = False	(BoolOpt) Sync data on connect
thread_pool_size = 4	(IntOpt) Maximum number of threads to spawn to handle large volumes of port creations.
[RESTPROXYAGENT]
integration_bridge = br-int	(StrOpt) Name of integration bridge on compute nodes used for security group insertion.
polling_interval = 5	(IntOpt) Seconds between agent checks for port changes
virtual_switch_type = ovs	(StrOpt) Virtual switch type.
[ROUTER]
max_router_rules = 200	(IntOpt) Maximum number of router rules
tenant_default_router_rule = ['*:any:any:permit']	(MultiStrOpt) The default router rules installed in new tenant routers. Repeat the config option for each rule. Format is <tenant>:<source>:<destination>:<action> Use an * to specify default for all tenants.
