Not all clouds will provide us with MTUs of 1500. Instead of assuming a 1500 - 50 byte MTU to accomodate for vxlan overhead we list all interface MTUs, filter by those that appear to be "real" interfaces (to avoid those we ourselves may have created), take the smallest one and subtract it by 50 to accomodate for vxlan overhead. You can still set an explicitl bridge_mtu value if necessary. Change-Id: If899a1bee3b4b69df8c2905a219b41e119d8f652

2.1 KiB
Configures a VXLAN virtual network overlay through an openvswitch network bridge between a 'switch' node and 'peer' nodes.
This allows members of the bridge to communicate with each other through the virtual network.
By default, this role will:
- Install and start
openvswitch
- Set up a
br-infra
bridge on all nodes - Set up the connectivity between the switch and the peer with a virtual port
- Set up an ip address on the bridge interface:
172.24.4.1/23 # switch node
172.41.4.2/23 # first peer
172.41.4.3/23 # second peer
...
Role requirements
This role requires and expects two groups to be set up in the Ansible host inventory in order to work:
switch
(the node acting as the switch)peers
(nodes connected to the virtual switch ports)
