To support testing the upcoming standalone networking feature it is necessary to have a virtual switch that allows port VLAN configuration to be changed by the networking generic switch driver. Setting the test_vm_bridge_type to 'ovs' will create 3 separate VLANs for testing. One will be dedicated as an inspection network, another to the final 'tenant' network for the node, and the remaining one will be used for all other network types (i.e., cleaning, rescuing, servicing, etc...).

Bifrost
Bifrost (pronounced bye-frost) is a set of Ansible playbooks that automates the task of deploying a base image onto a set of known hardware using ironic. It provides modular utility for one-off operating system deployment with as few operational requirements as reasonably possible.
The mission of bifrost is to provide an easy path to deploy ironic in a stand-alone fashion, in order to help facilitate the deployment of infrastructure, while also being a configurable project that can consume other OpenStack components to allow users to easily customize the environment to fit their needs, and drive forward the stand-alone perspective.
Use cases include:
- Installation of ironic in standalone/noauth mode without other OpenStack components.
- Deployment of an operating system to a known pool of hardware as a batch operation.
- Testing and development of ironic in the standalone mode.
