------------------------------------------
Summary: Brocade Network plugin to orchestrate Brocade VDX switches
Key: CLOUDSTACK-6823
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CLOUDSTACK-6823
Project: CloudStack
Issue Type: New Feature
Security Level: Public (Anyone can view this level - this is the default.)
Components: Network Controller
Affects Versions: 4.4.0
Environment: • KVM Hypervisor, VMWare, XenServer
• Brocade switches running NOS (e.g. VDX 67xx, VDX 87xx)
Reporter: Ritu Sabharwal
Assignee: Ritu Sabharwal
Fix For: 4.5.0
This plugin is focused on providing L2 services initially with other services
coming in later. This feature is about a CloudStack network-element plugin to
automatically orchestrate Brocade’s switches to provide tenant isolation via
VLAN. When isolated networks are created from CloudStack and allocated VLAN,
the same VLANs need to be propagated to the physical switches as well, so that
when a VLAN-tagged packet arrives on a switch-port, the switch know which ports
to flood the packet.
The Brocade Network Plugin can orchestrate Brocade’s switches directly using
NETCONF. The plugin use pre-configured properties file to provide the details
of Brocade switches (IP Address, UserName, Password).
In order to find out which switch-ports are connected to the hypervisor hosts,
the plugin uses the properties file to specify the guest-traffic-label to
switch-port mapping.
