Install and configure controller node

Prerequisites

Before you configure the OpenStack Networking (neutron) service, you must create a database, service credentials, and API endpoints.

To create the database, complete these steps:

Use the database access client to connect to the database server as the root user:
```
$ mysql -u root -p
```

Create the neutron database:

MariaDB [(none)] CREATE DATABASE neutron;

Grant proper access to the neutron database, replacing NEUTRON_DBPASS with a suitable password:

MariaDB [(none)]> GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON neutron.* TO 'neutron'@'localhost' \
  IDENTIFIED BY 'NEUTRON_DBPASS';
MariaDB [(none)]> GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON neutron.* TO 'neutron'@'%' \
  IDENTIFIED BY 'NEUTRON_DBPASS';

Exit the database access client.

Source the admin credentials to gain access to admin-only CLI commands:
```
$ . admin-openrc
```

To create the service credentials, complete these steps:

Create the neutron user:

$ openstack user create --domain default --password-prompt neutron

User Password:
Repeat User Password:
+---------------------+----------------------------------+
| Field               | Value                            |
+---------------------+----------------------------------+
| domain_id           | default                          |
| enabled             | True                             |
| id                  | fdb0f541e28141719b6a43c8944bf1fb |
| name                | neutron                          |
| options             | {}                               |
| password_expires_at | None                             |
+---------------------+----------------------------------+

Add the admin role to the neutron user:
```
$ openstack role add --project service --user neutron admin
```
Note

This command provides no output.

Create the neutron service entity:

$ openstack service create --name neutron \
  --description "OpenStack Networking" network

+-------------+----------------------------------+
| Field       | Value                            |

$ openstack endpoint create --region RegionOne \
  network public http://controller:9696

Configure networking options

You can deploy the Networking service using one of two architectures represented by options 1 and 2.

Option 1 deploys the simplest possible architecture that only supports attaching instances to provider (external) networks. No self-service (private) networks, routers, or floating IP addresses. Only the admin or other privileged user can manage provider networks.

Option 2 augments option 1 with layer-3 services that support attaching instances to self-service networks. The demo or other unprivileged user can manage self-service networks including routers that provide connectivity between self-service and provider networks. Additionally, floating IP addresses provide connectivity to instances using self-service networks from external networks such as the Internet.

Self-service networks typically use overlay networks. Overlay network protocols such as VXLAN include additional headers that increase overhead and decrease space available for the payload or user data. Without knowledge of the virtual network infrastructure, instances attempt to send packets using the default Ethernet maximum transmission unit (MTU) of 1500 bytes. The Networking service automatically provides the correct MTU value to instances via DHCP. However, some cloud images do not use DHCP or ignore the DHCP MTU option and require configuration using metadata or a script.

Note

Option 2 also supports attaching instances to provider networks.

Choose one of the following networking options to configure services specific to it. Afterwards, return here and proceed to neutron-controller-metadata-agent-rdo.

controller-install-option1-rdo.rst controller-install-option2-rdo.rst

Configure the metadata agent

The metadata agent provides configuration information such as credentials to instances.

Edit the /etc/neutron/metadata_agent.ini file and complete the following actions:
- In the [DEFAULT] section, configure the metadata host and shared secret:
```
[DEFAULT]
# ...
nova_metadata_host = controller
metadata_proxy_shared_secret = METADATA_SECRET
```
  Replace METADATA_SECRET with a suitable secret for the metadata proxy.

Configure the Compute service to use the Networking service

Note

The Nova compute service must be installed to complete this step. For more details see the compute install guide found under the Installation Guides section of the docs website.

Edit the /etc/nova/nova.conf file and perform the following actions:
- In the [neutron] section, configure access parameters, enable the metadata proxy, and configure the secret:
```
[neutron]
# ...
auth_url = http://controller:5000
auth_type = password
project_domain_name = Default
user_domain_name = Default
region_name = RegionOne
project_name = service
username = neutron
password = NEUTRON_PASS
service_metadata_proxy = true
metadata_proxy_shared_secret = METADATA_SECRET
```
  Replace NEUTRON_PASS with the password you chose for the neutron user in the Identity service.
  
  Replace METADATA_SECRET with the secret you chose for the metadata proxy.
  
  See the compute service configuration guide <configuration/config.html#neutron> for the full set of options including overriding the service catalog endpoint URL if necessary.

Finalize installation

The Networking service initialization scripts expect a symbolic link /etc/neutron/plugin.ini pointing to the ML2 plug-in configuration file, /etc/neutron/plugins/ml2/ml2_conf.ini. If this symbolic link does not exist, create it using the following command:
```
# ln -s /etc/neutron/plugins/ml2/ml2_conf.ini /etc/neutron/plugin.ini
```

Populate the database:

# su -s /bin/sh -c "neutron-db-manage --config-file /etc/neutron/neutron.conf \
  --config-file /etc/neutron/plugins/ml2/ml2_conf.ini upgrade head" neutron

Note

Database population occurs later for Networking because the script requires complete server and plug-in configuration files.

Restart the Compute API service:

# systemctl restart openstack-nova-api.service

Start the Networking services and configure them to start when the system boots.

For both networking options:

# systemctl enable neutron-server.service \
  neutron-openvswitch-agent.service neutron-dhcp-agent.service \
  neutron-metadata-agent.service
# systemctl start neutron-server.service \
  neutron-openvswitch-agent.service neutron-dhcp-agent.service \
  neutron-metadata-agent.service

For networking option 2, also enable and start the layer-3 service:

# systemctl enable neutron-l3-agent.service
# systemctl start neutron-l3-agent.service
