OpenStack Networking (neutron)

The example architecture with OpenStack Networking (neutron) requires one controller node, one network node, and at least one compute node. The controller node contains one network interface on the management network. The network node contains one network interface on the management network, one on the instance tunnels network, and one on the external network. The compute node contains one network interface on the management network and one on the instance tunnels network.

The example architecture assumes use of the following networks:

  • Management on 10.0.0.0/24 with gateway 10.0.0.1

    This network requires a gateway to provide internet access to all nodes for administrative purposes such as package installation, security updates, DNS, and Network Time Protocol (NTP).

  • Instance tunnels on 10.0.1.0/24 without a gateway

    This network does not require a gateway because communication only occurs among network and compute nodes in your OpenStack environment.

  • External on 203.0.113.0/24 with gateway 203.0.113.1

    This network requires a gateway to provide internet access to instances in your OpenStack environment.

You can modify these ranges and gateways to work with your particular network infrastructure.

Note

Network interface names vary by distribution. Traditionally, interfaces use "eth" followed by a sequential number. To cover all variations, this guide simply refers to the first interface as the interface with the lowest number, the second interface as the interface with the middle number, and the third interface as the interface with the highest number.

Unless you intend to use the exact configuration provided in this example architecture, you must modify the networks in this procedure to match your environment. Also, each node must resolve the other nodes by name in addition to IP address. For example, the controller name must resolve to 10.0.0.11, the IP address of the management interface on the controller node.

Warning

Reconfiguring network interfaces will interrupt network connectivity. We recommend using a local terminal session for these procedures.

Controller node

To configure networking:

  1. Configure the first interface as the management interface:

    IP address: 10.0.0.11

    Network mask: 255.255.255.0 (or /24)

    Default gateway: 10.0.0.1

  2. Reboot the system to activate the changes.

To configure name resolution:

  1. Set the hostname of the node to controller.

  2. Edit the /etc/hosts: file to contain the following:

    # controller
10.0.0.11       controller

# network
10.0.0.21       network

# compute1
10.0.0.31       compute1

    Warning

    Some distributions add an extraneous entry in the /etc/hosts file that resolves the actual hostname to another loopback IP address such as 127.0.1.1. Note it's 127.0.*1.1*, do not remove the required 127.0.0.1 entry. You must comment out or remove this entry to prevent name resolution problems.

Network node

To configure networking:

  1. Configure the first interface as the management interface:

    IP address: 10.0.0.21

    Network mask: 255.255.255.0 (or /24)

    Default gateway: 10.0.0.1

  2. Configure the second interface as the instance tunnels interface:

    IP address: 10.0.1.21

    Network mask: 255.255.255.0 (or /24)

  3. The external interface uses a special configuration without an IP address assigned to it. Configure the third interface as the external interface:

    Replace INTERFACE_NAME with the actual interface name. For example, eth2 or ens256.

    ubuntu or debian

    1. Edit the /etc/network/interfaces file to contain the following:

      # The external network interface
auto INTERFACE_NAME
iface INTERFACE_NAME inet manual
      up ip link set dev $IFACE up
      down ip link set dev $IFACE down

    rdo

    1. Edit the /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-INTERFACE_NAME file to contain the following:

      Do not change the HWADDR and UUID keys.

      DEVICE= INTERFACE_NAME
TYPE=Ethernet
ONBOOT="yes"
BOOTPROTO="none"

    obs

    1. Edit the /etc/sysconfig/network/ifcfg-INTERFACE_NAME file to contain the following:

      STARTMODE='auto'
BOOTPROTO='static'

  4. Reboot the system to activate the changes.

To configure name resolution:

  1. Set the hostname of the node to network.

  2. Edit the /etc/hosts file to contain the following:

    # network
10.0.0.21       network

# controller
10.0.0.11       controller

# compute1
10.0.0.31       compute1

    Warning

    Some distributions add an extraneous entry in the /etc/hosts file that resolves the actual hostname to another loopback IP address such as 127.0.1.1. Note it's 127.0.*1.1*, do not remove the required 127.0.0.1 entry. You must comment out or remove this entry to prevent name resolution problems.

Compute node

To configure networking:

  1. Configure the first interface as the management interface:

    IP address: 10.0.0.31

    Network mask: 255.255.255.0 (or /24)

    Default gateway: 10.0.0.1

    Note

    Additional compute nodes should use 10.0.0.32, 10.0.0.33, and so on.

  2. Configure the second interface as the instance tunnels interface:

    IP address: 10.0.1.31

    Network mask: 255.255.255.0 (or /24)

    Note

    Additional compute nodes should use 10.0.1.32, 10.0.1.33, and so on.

  3. Reboot the system to activate the changes.

To configure name resolution:

  1. Set the hostname of the node to compute1.

  2. Edit the /etc/hosts file to contain the following:

    # compute1
10.0.0.31       compute1

# controller
10.0.0.11       controller

# network
10.0.0.21       network

    Warning

    Some distributions add an extraneous entry in the /etc/hosts file that resolves the actual hostname to another loopback IP address such as 127.0.1.1. You must comment out or remove this entry to prevent name resolution problems.

We recommend that you verify network connectivity to the internet and among the nodes before proceeding further.
