Switch the generated configuration to use "new" style external networks when ext-port is not set. In this case we configure external_network_bridge = (intentionally blank), gateway_external_network_id = (blank) and update the README with information on using this new style of configuration. The current template configures external networks by using the default external_network_bridge=br-ex (implied when not set). This activates legacy code which assumes that a single external network exists on that bridge and the L3 Agent directly plugs itself in. provider:network_type, provider:physical_network and provider:segmentation_id are ignored. You cannot create multiple networks and you cannot use segmented networks (e.g. VLAN) By setting external_network_bridge = (intentionally blank) the L2 Agent handles the configuration instead, this allows us to create multiple networks and also to use more complex network configurations such as VLAN. It is also possible to use the same physical connection with different segmentation IDs for both internal and external networks, as well as multiple external networks. Legacy/existing configurations where ext-port is set generate the same configuration as previous and should continue to work as before. I do not believe it to be easy to migrate existing setups to the "new" style configuration automatically as changes to the neutron network configuration may be required (specifically: provider:physical_network will now be used when it was not before, and may not be correct) and the physical port needs to be moved from br-ex to br-data which the charm does not currently handle and is likely to error as it does not attempt removal first. Further work may be possible in this area. For information about this new style of configuration being preferred, see discussions in LP#1491668, LP#1525059 and http://docs.openstack.org/liberty/networking-guide/scenario-classic-ovs.html Change-Id: I8d2bb8098e080969e0445293b1ed79714b2c964f Related-Bug: #1491668 Related-Bug: #1525059 Closes-Bug: #1536768 |
