Networking Option 2: Self-service networks ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Install and configure the Networking components on the *controller* node. Install the components ---------------------- .. code-block:: console # zypper install --no-recommends openstack-neutron \ openstack-neutron-server openstack-neutron-linuxbridge-agent \ openstack-neutron-l3-agent openstack-neutron-dhcp-agent \ openstack-neutron-metadata-agent bridge-utils dnsmasq .. end Configure the server component ------------------------------ * Edit the ``/etc/neutron/neutron.conf`` file and complete the following actions: * In the ``[database]`` section, configure database access: .. path /etc/neutron/neutron.conf .. code-block:: ini [database] # ... connection = mysql+pymysql://neutron:NEUTRON_DBPASS@controller/neutron .. end Replace ``NEUTRON_DBPASS`` with the password you chose for the database. .. note:: Comment out or remove any other ``connection`` options in the ``[database]`` section. * In the ``[DEFAULT]`` section, enable the Modular Layer 2 (ML2) plug-in, router service, and overlapping IP addresses: .. path /etc/neutron/neutron.conf .. code-block:: ini [DEFAULT] # ... core_plugin = ml2 service_plugins = router allow_overlapping_ips = true .. end * In the ``[DEFAULT]`` section, configure ``RabbitMQ`` message queue access: .. path /etc/neutron/neutron.conf .. code-block:: ini [DEFAULT] # ... transport_url = rabbit://openstack:RABBIT_PASS@controller .. end Replace ``RABBIT_PASS`` with the password you chose for the ``openstack`` account in RabbitMQ. * In the ``[DEFAULT]`` and ``[keystone_authtoken]`` sections, configure Identity service access: .. path /etc/neutron/neutron.conf .. code-block:: ini [DEFAULT] # ... auth_strategy = keystone [keystone_authtoken] # ... www_authenticate_uri = http://controller:5000 auth_url = http://controller:5000 memcached_servers = controller:11211 auth_type = password project_domain_name = default user_domain_name = default project_name = service username = neutron password = NEUTRON_PASS .. end Replace ``NEUTRON_PASS`` with the password you chose for the ``neutron`` user in the Identity service. .. note:: Comment out or remove any other options in the ``[keystone_authtoken]`` section. * In the ``[DEFAULT]`` and ``[nova]`` sections, configure Networking to notify Compute of network topology changes: .. path /etc/neutron/neutron.conf .. code-block:: ini [DEFAULT] # ... notify_nova_on_port_status_changes = true notify_nova_on_port_data_changes = true [nova] # ... auth_url = http://controller:5000 auth_type = password project_domain_name = default user_domain_name = default region_name = RegionOne project_name = service username = nova password = NOVA_PASS .. end Replace ``NOVA_PASS`` with the password you chose for the ``nova`` user in the Identity service. * In the ``[oslo_concurrency]`` section, configure the lock path: .. path /etc/neutron/neutron.conf .. code-block:: ini [oslo_concurrency] # ... lock_path = /var/lib/neutron/tmp .. end 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, VLAN, and VXLAN networks: .. path /etc/neutron/plugins/ml2/ml2_conf.ini .. code-block:: ini [ml2] # ... type_drivers = flat,vlan,vxlan .. end * In the ``[ml2]`` section, enable VXLAN self-service networks: .. path /etc/neutron/plugins/ml2/ml2_conf.ini .. code-block:: ini [ml2] # ... tenant_network_types = vxlan .. end * In the ``[ml2]`` section, enable the Linux bridge and layer-2 population mechanisms: .. path /etc/neutron/plugins/ml2/ml2_conf.ini .. code-block:: ini [ml2] # ... mechanism_drivers = linuxbridge,l2population .. end .. warning:: After you configure the ML2 plug-in, removing values in the ``type_drivers`` option can lead to database inconsistency. .. note:: The Linux bridge agent only supports VXLAN overlay networks. * In the ``[ml2]`` section, enable the port security extension driver: .. path /etc/neutron/plugins/ml2/ml2_conf.ini .. code-block:: ini [ml2] # ... extension_drivers = port_security .. end * In the ``[ml2_type_flat]`` section, configure the provider virtual network as a flat network: .. path /etc/neutron/plugins/ml2/ml2_conf.ini .. code-block:: ini [ml2_type_flat] # ... flat_networks = provider .. end * In the ``[ml2_type_vxlan]`` section, configure the VXLAN network identifier range for self-service networks: .. path /etc/neutron/plugins/ml2/ml2_conf.ini .. code-block:: ini [ml2_type_vxlan] # ... vni_ranges = 1:1000 .. end * In the ``[securitygroup]`` section, enable ipset to increase efficiency of security group rules: .. path /etc/neutron/plugins/ml2/ml2_conf.ini .. code-block:: ini [securitygroup] # ... enable_ipset = true .. end 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: .. path /etc/neutron/plugins/ml2/linuxbridge_agent.ini .. code-block:: ini [linux_bridge] physical_interface_mappings = provider:PROVIDER_INTERFACE_NAME .. end Replace ``PROVIDER_INTERFACE_NAME`` with the name of the underlying provider physical network interface. See :doc:`environment-networking-obs` for more information. * In the ``[vxlan]`` section, enable VXLAN overlay networks, configure the IP address of the physical network interface that handles overlay networks, and enable layer-2 population: .. path /etc/neutron/plugins/ml2/linuxbridge_agent.ini .. code-block:: ini [vxlan] enable_vxlan = true local_ip = OVERLAY_INTERFACE_IP_ADDRESS l2_population = true .. end Replace ``OVERLAY_INTERFACE_IP_ADDRESS`` with the IP address of the underlying physical network interface that handles overlay networks. The example architecture uses the management interface to tunnel traffic to the other nodes. Therefore, replace ``OVERLAY_INTERFACE_IP_ADDRESS`` with the management IP address of the controller node. See :doc:`environment-networking-obs` for more information. * In the ``[securitygroup]`` section, enable security groups and configure the Linux bridge iptables firewall driver: .. path /etc/neutron/plugins/ml2/linuxbridge_agent.ini .. code-block:: ini [securitygroup] # ... enable_security_group = true firewall_driver = neutron.agent.linux.iptables_firewall.IptablesFirewallDriver .. end * Ensure your Linux operating system kernel supports network bridge filters by verifying all the following ``sysctl`` values are set to ``1``: .. code-block:: ini net.bridge.bridge-nf-call-iptables net.bridge.bridge-nf-call-ip6tables .. end To enable networking bridge support, typically the ``br_netfilter`` kernel module needs to be loaded. Check your operating system's documentation for additional details on enabling this module. Configure the layer-3 agent --------------------------- The Layer-3 (L3) agent provides routing and NAT services for self-service virtual networks. * Edit the ``/etc/neutron/l3_agent.ini`` file and complete the following actions: * In the ``[DEFAULT]`` section, configure the Linux bridge interface driver: .. path /etc/neutron/l3_agent.ini .. code-block:: ini [DEFAULT] # ... interface_driver = linuxbridge .. end 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: .. path /etc/neutron/dhcp_agent.ini .. code-block:: ini [DEFAULT] # ... interface_driver = linuxbridge dhcp_driver = neutron.agent.linux.dhcp.Dnsmasq enable_isolated_metadata = true .. end Return to *Networking controller node configuration*.
