Configure Identity service for Networking
=========================================
**To configure the Identity service for use with Networking**
#. Create the ``get_id()`` function
The ``get_id()`` function stores the ID of created objects, and removes
the need to copy and paste object IDs in later steps:
a. Add the following function to your ``.bashrc`` file:
.. code-block:: bash
function get_id () {
echo `"$@" | awk '/ id / { print $4 }'`
}
b. Source the ``.bashrc`` file:
.. code-block:: console
$ source .bashrc
#. Create the Networking service entry
Networking must be available in the Compute service catalog. Create the
service:
.. code-block:: console
$ NEUTRON_SERVICE_ID=$(get_id openstack service create network \
--name neutron --description 'OpenStack Networking Service')
#. Create the Networking service endpoint entry
The way that you create a Networking endpoint entry depends on whether
you are using the SQL or the template catalog driver:
- If you are using the ``SQL driver``, run the following command with the
specified region (``$REGION``), IP address of the Networking server
(``$IP``), and service ID (``$NEUTRON_SERVICE_ID``, obtained in the
previous step).
.. code-block:: console
$ openstack endpoint create $NEUTRON_SERVICE_ID --region $REGION \
--publicurl 'http://$IP:9696/' --adminurl 'http://$IP:9696/' \
--internalurl 'http://$IP:9696/'
For example:
.. code-block:: console
$ openstack endpoint create $NEUTRON_SERVICE_ID --region myregion \
--publicurl "http://10.211.55.17:9696/" \
--adminurl "http://10.211.55.17:9696/" \
--internalurl "http://10.211.55.17:9696/"
- If you are using the ``template driver``, specify the following
parameters in your Compute catalog template file
(``default_catalog.templates``), along with the region (``$REGION``)
and IP address of the Networking server (``$IP``).
.. code-block:: bash
catalog.$REGION.network.publicURL = http://$IP:9696
catalog.$REGION.network.adminURL = http://$IP:9696
catalog.$REGION.network.internalURL = http://$IP:9696
catalog.$REGION.network.name = Network Service
For example:
.. code-block:: bash
catalog.$Region.network.publicURL = http://10.211.55.17:9696
catalog.$Region.network.adminURL = http://10.211.55.17:9696
catalog.$Region.network.internalURL = http://10.211.55.17:9696
catalog.$Region.network.name = Network Service
#. Create the Networking service user
You must provide admin user credentials that Compute and some internal
Networking components can use to access the Networking API. Create a
special ``service`` project and a ``neutron`` user within this project,
and assign an ``admin`` role to this role.
a. Create the ``admin`` role:
.. code-block:: console
$ ADMIN_ROLE=$(get_id openstack role create admin)
b. Create the ``neutron`` user:
.. code-block:: console
$ NEUTRON_USER=$(get_id openstack user create neutron \
--password "$NEUTRON_PASSWORD" --email demo@example.com \
--project service)
c. Create the ``service`` project:
.. code-block:: console
$ SERVICE_TENANT=$(get_id openstack project create service \
--description "Services project" --domain default)
d. Establish the relationship among the project, user, and role:
.. code-block:: console
$ openstack role add $ADMIN_ROLE --user $NEUTRON_USER \
--project $SERVICE_TENANT

Tutorials and Guides <https://docs.openstack.org/project-install-guide/ocata/>`_

Compute
~~~~~~~
If you use Networking, do not run the Compute ``nova-network`` service (like
you do in traditional Compute deployments). Instead, Compute delegates
most network-related decisions to Networking.
.. note::
Uninstall ``nova-network`` and reboot any physical nodes that have been
running ``nova-network`` before using them to run Networking.
Inadvertently running the ``nova-network`` process while using
Networking can cause problems, as can stale iptables rules pushed
down by previously running ``nova-network``.
Compute proxies project-facing API calls to manage security groups and
floating IPs to Networking APIs. However, operator-facing tools such
as ``nova-manage``, are not proxied and should not be used.
.. warning::
When you configure networking, you must use this guide. Do not rely
on Compute networking documentation or past experience with Compute.
If a :command:`nova` command or configuration option related to networking
is not mentioned in this guide, the command is probably not
supported for use with Networking. In particular, you cannot use CLI
tools like ``nova-manage`` and ``nova`` to manage networks or IP
addressing, including both fixed and floating IPs, with Networking.
To ensure that Compute works properly with Networking (rather than the
legacy ``nova-network`` mechanism), you must adjust settings in the
``nova.conf`` configuration file.
Networking API and credential configuration
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Each time you provision or de-provision a VM in Compute, ``nova-\*``
services communicate with Networking using the standard API. For this to
happen, you must configure the following items in the ``nova.conf`` file
(used by each ``nova-compute`` and ``nova-api`` instance).
.. list-table:: **nova.conf API and credential settings prior to Mitaka**
:widths: 20 50
:header-rows: 1
* - Attribute name
- Required
* - ``[DEFAULT] use_neutron``
- Modify from the default to ``True`` to
indicate that Networking should be used rather than the traditional
nova-network networking model.
* - ``[neutron] url``
- Update to the host name/IP and port of the neutron-server instance
for this deployment.
* - ``[neutron] auth_strategy``
- Keep the default ``keystone`` value for all production deployments.
* - ``[neutron] admin_project_name``
- Update to the name of the service tenant created in the above section on
Identity configuration.
* - ``[neutron] admin_username``
- Update to the name of the user created in the above section on Identity
configuration.
* - ``[neutron] admin_password``
- Update to the password of the user created in the above section on
Identity configuration.
* - ``[neutron] admin_auth_url``
- Update to the Identity server IP and port. This is the Identity
(keystone) admin API server IP and port value, and not the Identity
service API IP and port.

Identity configuration.
* - ``[neutron] username``
- Update to the name of the user created in the above section on Identity
configuration.
* - ``[neutron] password``
- Update to the password of the user created in the above section on
Identity configuration.
* - ``[neutron] auth_url``
- Update to the Identity server IP and port. This is the Identity
(keystone) admin API server IP and port value, and not the Identity
service API IP and port.
Configure security groups
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The Networking service provides security group functionality using a
mechanism that is more flexible and powerful than the security group
capabilities built into Compute. Therefore, if you use Networking, you
should always disable built-in security groups and proxy all security
group calls to the Networking API. If you do not, security policies
will conflict by being simultaneously applied by both services.
To proxy security groups to Networking, use the following configuration
values in the ``nova.conf`` file:
**nova.conf security group settings**
+-----------------------+-----------------------------------------------------+
| Item | Configuration |
+=======================+=====================================================+
| ``firewall_driver`` | Update to ``nova.virt.firewall.NoopFirewallDriver``,|
| | so that nova-compute does not perform |
| | iptables-based filtering itself. |
+-----------------------+-----------------------------------------------------+
Configure metadata
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The Compute service allows VMs to query metadata associated with a VM by
making a web request to a special 169.254.169.254 address. Networking
supports proxying those requests to nova-api, even when the requests are
made from isolated networks, or from multiple networks that use
overlapping IP addresses.
To enable proxying the requests, you must update the following fields in
``[neutron]`` section in the ``nova.conf``.
**nova.conf metadata settings**
+---------------------------------+------------------------------------------+
| Item | Configuration |
+=================================+==========================================+
| ``service_metadata_proxy`` | Update to ``true``, otherwise nova-api |
| | will not properly respond to requests |
| | from the neutron-metadata-agent. |
+---------------------------------+------------------------------------------+
| ``metadata_proxy_shared_secret``| Update to a string "password" value. |
| | You must also configure the same value in|
| | the ``metadata_agent.ini`` file, to |
| | authenticate requests made for metadata. |
| | |
| | The default value of an empty string in |
| | both files will allow metadata to |
| | function, but will not be secure if any |
| | non-trusted entities have access to the |
| | metadata APIs exposed by nova-api. |
+---------------------------------+------------------------------------------+
.. note::
As a precaution, even when using ``metadata_proxy_shared_secret``,
we recommend that you do not expose metadata using the same
nova-api instances that are used for projects. Instead, you should
run a dedicated set of nova-api instances for metadata that are
available only on your management network. Whether a given nova-api
instance exposes metadata APIs is determined by the value of
``enabled_apis`` in its ``nova.conf``.
