Finding the router in ip/ipconfig

  • http://docs.openstack.org/admin-guide/networking.html

    The neutron-l3-agent uses the Linux IP stack and iptables to perform L3 forwarding and NAT. In order to support multiple routers with potentially overlapping IP addresses, neutron-l3-agent defaults to using Linux network namespaces to provide isolated forwarding contexts. As a result, the IP addresses of routers will not be visible simply by running "ip addr list" or "ifconfig" on the node. Similarly, you will not be able to directly ping fixed IPs.

    To do either of these things, you must run the command within a particular router's network namespace. The namespace will have the name "qrouter-<UUID of the router>.

For example:

vagrant@precise64:~$ openstack router list
