Hello Armando, I managed to implement the L2GW setup purely in software, without an hardware appliance.
I documented in the README file, please look at this review https://review.openstack.org/453209 I have a question: do we have a name for this node where the actually bridging happens between a VXLAN tenant network and a physical L2 network ? Is it okay to call it the l2gw node ? The l2gw plugin it self runs on the controller, so also the neutron-l2gw-plugin agent runs on the controller. I think it necessary to clarify this naming, because before trying the software I did the mistake of thinking that the neutron-l2gw-agent had to run on the switch where the actual briding happens. thank you Saverio On 30/03/17 18:40, Armando M. wrote: > > > On 30 March 2017 at 08:47, Saverio Proto <[email protected] > <mailto:[email protected]>> wrote: > > Hello, > > I am trying to use the neutron l2gw plugin, but I am not using a bare > metal switch to bridge. > > I am using a server with Openvswitch. > > > I am not aware of any effort to implement L2GW purely in software, in > fact this was one key missing pieces that prevented the project to have > CI solely dealt with the upstream infra resources.
