Configures a VXLAN virtual network overlay through an openvswitch network bridge between a 'switch' node and 'peer' nodes. This allows members of the bridge to communicate with each other through the virtual network. By default, this role will: - Install and start ``openvswitch`` - Set up a ``br-infra`` bridge on all nodes - Set up the connectivity between the switch and the peer with a virtual port - Set up an ip address on the bridge interface: :: 172.24.4.1/23 # switch node 172.41.4.2/23 # first peer 172.41.4.3/23 # second peer ... **Role requirements** This role requires and expects two groups to be set up in the Ansible host inventory in order to work: - ``switch`` (the node acting as the switch) - ``peers`` (nodes connected to the virtual switch ports) **Role variables** .. zuul:rolevar:: bridge_vni_offset :default: 1000000 VXLAN Network Identifier offset (openvswitch key). .. zuul:rolevar:: bridge_mtu :default: Smallest mtu less 50 bytes for vxlan overhead Bridge interface MTU. By default we determine this value by checking all interfaces on host, taking the smallest MTU and subtracting by 50 for vxlan overhead. Can be overridden explicitly if this does not work. .. zuul:rolevar:: bridge_name :default: br-infra Name of the bridge interface. .. zuul:rolevar:: bridge_configure_address :default: true Whether or not to configure an IP address on the bridge interface. .. zuul:rolevar:: bridge_authorize_internal_traffic :default: false When ``bridge_configure_address`` is ``true``, whether or not to set up firewall rules in order to allow traffic to flow freely within the bridge subnet (``bridge_address_prefix``.0/``bridge_address_subnet``). .. zuul:rolevar:: bridge_address_prefix :default: 172.24.4 The IP address range prefix. .. zuul:rolevar:: bridge_address_offset :default: 1 The IP address offset, used with ``bridge_address_prefix`` to provide the full IP address. The initial offset defines the IP address of the switch node in the virtual network. .. zuul:rolevar:: bridge_address_subnet :default: 23 The IP address range CIDR/subnet.
