Configure the server component

  • Edit the /etc/neutron/neutron.conf file and complete the following actions:

    • In the [database] section, configure database access:

      [database]
      ...
      connection = mysql+pymysql://neutron:NEUTRON_DBPASS@controller/neutron

      Replace NEUTRON_DBPASS with the password you chose for the database.

      Note

      Comment out or remove any other connection options in the [database] section.

    • In the [DEFAULT] section, enable the Modular Layer 2 (ML2) plug-in, router service, and overlapping IP addresses:

      [DEFAULT]
      ...
      core_plugin = ml2
      service_plugins = router
      allow_overlapping_ips = True
    • In the [DEFAULT] section, configure RabbitMQ message queue access:

      [DEFAULT]
      ...
      transport_url = rabbit://openstack:RABBIT_PASS@controller

      Replace RABBIT_PASS with the password you chose for the openstack account in RabbitMQ.

    • In the [DEFAULT] and [keystone_authtoken] sections, configure Identity service access:

      [DEFAULT]
      ...
      auth_strategy = keystone
      
      [keystone_authtoken]
      ...
      auth_uri = http://controller:5000
      auth_url = http://controller:35357
      memcached_servers = controller:11211
      auth_type = password
      project_domain_name = default
      user_domain_name = default
      project_name = service
      username = neutron
      password = NEUTRON_PASS

      Replace NEUTRON_PASS with the password you chose for the neutron user in the Identity service.

      Note

      Comment out or remove any other options in the [keystone_authtoken] section.

    • In the [DEFAULT] and [nova] sections, configure Networking to notify Compute of network topology changes:

      [DEFAULT]
      ...
      notify_nova_on_port_status_changes = True
      notify_nova_on_port_data_changes = True
      
      [nova]
      ...
      auth_url = http://controller:35357
      auth_type = password
      project_domain_name = default
      user_domain_name = default
      region_name = RegionOne
      project_name = service
      username = nova
      password = NOVA_PASS

      Replace NOVA_PASS with the password you chose for the nova user in the Identity service.

    rdo

    • In the [oslo_concurrency] section, configure the lock path:

      [oslo_concurrency]
      ...
      lock_path = /var/lib/neutron/tmp

Configure the Modular Layer 2 (ML2) plug-in

The ML2 plug-in uses the Linux bridge mechanism to build layer-2 (bridging and switching) virtual networking infrastructure for instances.

  • Edit the /etc/neutron/plugins/ml2/ml2_conf.ini file and complete the following actions:
    • In the [ml2] section, enable flat, VLAN, and VXLAN networks:

      [ml2]
      ...
      type_drivers = flat,vlan,vxlan
    • In the [ml2] section, enable VXLAN self-service networks:

      [ml2]
      ...
      tenant_network_types = vxlan
    • In the [ml2] section, enable the Linux bridge and layer-2 population mechanisms:

      [ml2]
      ...
      mechanism_drivers = linuxbridge,l2population

      Warning

      After you configure the ML2 plug-in, removing values in the type_drivers option can lead to database inconsistency.

      Note

      The Linux bridge agent only supports VXLAN overlay networks.

    • In the [ml2] section, enable the port security extension driver:

      [ml2]
      ...
      extension_drivers = port_security
    • In the [ml2_type_flat] section, configure the provider virtual network as a flat network:

      [ml2_type_flat]
      ...
      flat_networks = provider
    • In the [ml2_type_vxlan] section, configure the VXLAN network identifier range for self-service networks:

      [ml2_type_vxlan]
      ...
      vni_ranges = 1:1000
    • In the [securitygroup] section, enable ipset to increase efficiency of security group rules:

      [securitygroup]
      ...
      enable_ipset = True

Configure the Linux bridge agent

The Linux bridge agent builds layer-2 (bridging and switching) virtual networking infrastructure for instances and handles security groups.

  • Edit the /etc/neutron/plugins/ml2/linuxbridge_agent.ini file and complete the following actions:
    • In the [linux_bridge] section, map the provider virtual network to the provider physical network interface:

      [linux_bridge]
      physical_interface_mappings = provider:PROVIDER_INTERFACE_NAME

      Replace PROVIDER_INTERFACE_NAME with the name of the underlying provider physical network interface. See environment-networking for more information.

    • In the [vxlan] section, enable VXLAN overlay networks, configure the IP address of the physical network interface that handles overlay networks, and enable layer-2 population:

      [vxlan]
      enable_vxlan = True
      local_ip = OVERLAY_INTERFACE_IP_ADDRESS
      l2_population = True

      Replace OVERLAY_INTERFACE_IP_ADDRESS with the IP address of the underlying physical network interface that handles overlay networks. The example architecture uses the management interface to tunnel traffic to the other nodes. Therefore, replace OVERLAY_INTERFACE_IP_ADDRESS with the management IP address of the controller node. See environment-networking for more information.

    • In the [securitygroup] section, enable security groups and configure the Linux bridge iptables firewall driver:

      [securitygroup]
      ...
      enable_security_group = True
      firewall_driver = neutron.agent.linux.iptables_firewall.IptablesFirewallDriver

Configure the layer-3 agent

The Layer-3 (L3) agent provides routing and NAT services for self-service virtual networks.

  • Edit the /etc/neutron/l3_agent.ini file and complete the following actions:
    • In the [DEFAULT] section, configure the Linux bridge interface driver and external network bridge:

      [DEFAULT]
      ...
      interface_driver = neutron.agent.linux.interface.BridgeInterfaceDriver

Configure the DHCP agent

The DHCP agent provides DHCP services for virtual networks.

  • Edit the /etc/neutron/dhcp_agent.ini file and complete the following actions:
    • In the [DEFAULT] section, configure the Linux bridge interface driver, Dnsmasq DHCP driver, and enable isolated metadata so instances on provider networks can access metadata over the network:

      [DEFAULT]
      ...
      interface_driver = neutron.agent.linux.interface.BridgeInterfaceDriver
      dhcp_driver = neutron.agent.linux.dhcp.Dnsmasq
      enable_isolated_metadata = True
