NDP proxy
If NDP proxy is set on a router, it is used to publish IPv6 addresses to external routers. Its purpose is similar to floating IP, but it forwards the traffic directly by using route rules and has no NAT action. Read the related specification for more details.
Configuration of NDP proxy
To configure NDP proxy, take the following steps:
On the controller nodes:
Add the
ndp_proxyservice to theservice_pluginssetting in the[DEFAULT]section of/etc/neutron/neutron.conf. For example:[DEFAULT] service_plugins = router,ndp_proxyNote
The
routerservice plug-in has to be configured along with thendp_proxyservice plug-in.On the network nodes or the compute nodes (for the dvr mode router):
Set the
extensionsoption in the[agent]section of/etc/neutron/l3_agent.inito includendp_proxy. This has to be done in each network and compute node where the L3 agent is running. For example:extensions = ndp_proxy
Note
After updating the options in the configuration files, the neutron-server and every neutron-l3-agent need to be restarted for the new values to take effect.
After configuring NDP proxy, the ndp-proxy extension
alias will be included in the output of the following command:
For API extension:
$ openstack extension list --networkFor agent extension:
$ openstack network agent show <l3-agent-id>Note
We introduced a new command ndsend for the NDP proxy
feature, the command can send Neighbor Advertisement about IPv6 to
upstream router. With this command, we can make the upstream router
rapidly perceive the change of internal IPv6 address (such as, port
migrated to other node). Read the manual
page for more details about this command.
Currently, you need to install this command manually in every L3
agent node. For Ubuntu, the command is provided by the
vzctl pkg, the install command:
sudo apt install vzctl.
On the upstream router (the datacenter's physical router):
Generally, the admin operator should plan one or more IPv6 subnetpools to use when NDP proxy is enabled, so that all internal subnets can be allocated from a single, integrated subnetpool. In order to make NDP proxy work correctly, the admin operator needs to set direct routes for these subnetpools.
Such as, we have a IPv6 subnetpool, it's CIDR is 2001:db8::/96. The direct route like below should be set:
2001:db8::/96 dev <ext-gw>The
ext-gwis the gateway interface of the cloud's external network.
User workflow
The basic steps to publish an IPv6 address to an external network (such as: public network) are the following:
Note
In order to prevent a potential security risk, the NDP proxy feature requires that an IPv6 address scope be used to ensure the uniqueness of the IPv6 address which is published externally.

If you are using another method (such as:
BGP <config-bgp-dynamic-routing-for-ipv6>,prefix-delegationetc.) to publish the internal IPv6 address, the command will break dataplane traffic.Create an internal network and IPv6 subnet and add the subnet to the above router:

Known limitations
- Using NDP proxies in combination with the OVN backend is not supported.
