Hi,
I'm a bit of a newbie so may not be the best to advise, but I think what
you are trying to do
(if I understand correctly) is possible, have you checked out Numan's
write up here:
https://developers.redhat.com/blog/2018/11/08/how-to-create-an-open-virtual-network-distributed-gateway-router/
This shows you how to do east west with a distributed router, and then
north south with a
distributed gateway port, which can be bound to a specific chassis or
scheduled in HA mode
across several chassis. I think this is what you are after.

Hi all,
I am posting this here as I delved through the ovn-nb documentation
for a couple of days without any bright ideas popping up.
I am trying to have north -> south and south -> north traffic for a
logical_switch_port traverse a specific router gateway of my choosing.
This means: I don't want external traffic in any direction for this
logical_switch_port to pass through its pre-defined distributed
gateway router.
Some background: the logical_switch_port that I would like this to be
done for, is of type:"" (meaning it's connected to "A VM (or VIF)
interface") and is connected to a distributed gateway router local to
the node the logical_switch_port is hosted on. I have changed the type
to "router" and defined "options: router-port=...", and this is where
I lose insight as to:
- How to configure the router-port correctly so that external traffic
for the logical_switch_port gets passed to it and properly routed
afterwards
- If this is even the right approach?
- Is this possible to do only for north -> south / south -> north
traffic. And thus keep east -> west and vice versa intact?
Any ideas are welcomed.
Thanks in advance!
/Alexander
