RE: Configuring CS with Advance Networking for an internal laboratory

[Imran Ahmed]

I don’t think you need this line at least:

Switchport mode access

I assume that you use the LACP bond that bonds interfaces:  Gi0/11 and Gi0/12   
to carry both public traffic as well as guest traffic.

The next factor is the  traffic labels you set in your  Cloudstack advanced 
zone setup .

Another factor is the  configuration of  cloudbro and Cloudbr1  bridges  in 
your interface configurations.


By the way  are you using  CentOS or Ubuntu or Suse or ..?


Regards,


Imran

Hi

I am testing my CS with Advance Networking but it's not able to download iso or 
the templates, I think this is because of my VLAN configuration, s-vm or v-vm 
can't ping to internet, I did set up this parameter 
(secstorage.allowed.internal.sites) to my manager and host ip.
This is my VLAN configuration, please any advice on this issue

Hi Luis,

>.Do I need to specify what port the vlan are going to use?
Yes, selection of interfaces/ports need to be done. Please add command 
“interface range Gi0/9 – 10” after command “conf t”
Also add “no switchport mode access” just before the command “end”

Hope that helps.

    No problem Luis,
    
    
      1.  Advanced networking replies on VLANs (or some SDN isolation method), 
so you need at have a range of VLANs free, that you tell CloudStack that it can 
use.
      2.  The IP ranges I described were only an example you can you any range 
you like, but ‘public’ traffic generally is going to require a gateway in order 
to ‘go’ somewhere.
      3.  I looks to me like you are setting all of your interfaces as access 
ports. You’ll need ports which deal with multiple VLANs (like ones used for 
guest networks) to be trunk ports – with the VLANs which are allowed matching 
those that you have told CloudStack that it can use.

laboratory

No problem Luis,


  1.  Advanced networking replies on VLANs (or some SDN isolation method), 
so you need at have a range of VLANs free, that you tell CloudStack that it can 
use.
  2.  The IP ranges I described were only an example you can you any range 
you like, but ‘public’ traffic generally is going to require a gateway in order 
to ‘go’ somewhere.
  3.  I looks to me like you are setting all of your interfaces as access 
ports. You’ll need ports which deal with multiple VLANs (like ones used for 
guest networks) to be trunk ports – with the VLANs which are allowed matching 
those that you have told CloudStack that it can use.


Kind regards,

thank you for your help, I have some questions if you can help me to answer 
this

1.- can i not use VLAN's for Advance Networking or are necessary for the 
configuration

2.- Do I need to create an extra server ans use it as gateway for this 
range of IP's?

3.- this is what I am using to create my vlan's on a Cisco 3560, is this 
correct?

[Luis]

Thank you Paul
Your article is really helpful, I think my problem is finding the correct 
commands to setup the switch, this is what I have
CS 4.10: on Ubuntu 14.044 nics: 2 for management (LACP) and 2 for Storage (LACP)
XenServer for host4 Nics: 2 for Management-Storage (LACP) and 2 for Public-Guest
Is it possible for you or the group to help me with the lines to set up 
correctly  the Cisco Switch, I will appreciate your help

Hi Luis,

You can give CloudStack a range of RFC1918 addresses (ie private addresses) to 
act as an 'internal' public network.

10.0.1.10 - 10.0.1.30
GW: 10.0.1.254
Netmask - 255.255.255.0

If the gateway at 10.0.1.254 can route to the outside world then CloudStack 
will still be able to download templates, if not you can always register a 
template which you are hosting on an internal network.

If you do the second option ensure that the global setting 
'secstorage.allowed.internal.sites'  includes the hosting server's IP address.



Kind regards,

Paul Angus

Could you share them, please?

Yes, I agree, perhaps our doc needs an update.


Thanks in advanced.
