KATO Tomoyuki 31b31410f9 Factor out Install Guide for Debian with debconf
To simplify the build tool chain,
factor out Install Guide for Debian with debconf.
Continueously, keep Install Guide for Debian without debconf
in the doc/install-guide directory. Also, use the contents
at doc/install-guide as possible for consistency.

On the following patches, clean up doc/install-guide sources
to cleanup the contents and build tool chains.

Networking Option 1: Provider networks

Install and configure the Networking components on the controller node.

Install the components

# apt-get install neutron-server neutron-linuxbridge-agent \
  neutron-dhcp-agent neutron-metadata-agent python-neutronclient

Respond to prompts for database management, Identity service credentials, service endpoint registration, and message queue credentials.

Select the ML2 plug-in:

Note

Selecting the ML2 plug-in also populates the core_plugin option in the /etc/neutron/neutron.conf file with the appropriate values (in this case, it is set to the value ml2).

Configure the server component

  1. Edit the /etc/neutron/neutron.conf file and complete the following actions:
    • In the [DEFAULT] section, disable additional plug-ins:

      [DEFAULT]
      ...
      service_plugins =
    • 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:35357
      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.

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 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

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 = neutron.agent.linux.interface.BridgeInterfaceDriver
      dhcp_driver = neutron.agent.linux.dhcp.Dnsmasq
      enable_isolated_metadata = True

Return to Networking controller node configuration <neutron-controller-metadata-agent>.
