Re: [Openstack-operators] VXLAN / Tenant Network Issue

Hi Grant, You should have an IP address configured on the br-vxlan interface of each host. - Can you confirm connectivity between the hosts using the IP addresses assigned to br-vxlan? Ping from within the neutron_agents container, as well, since this is ultimately where the Neutron na

2016-08-16 Thread James Denton
I don’t have the exact steps offhand, but you should be able to create a veth pair manually, attach one end to your existing bridge, and specify the other end in the bridge_mappings section. Make sure you set both ends up using ‘ip link set up’ prior to this. The veth pair will end up linking t

Re: [Openstack-operators] [Neutron] public and private fixed IPs

2015-10-24 Thread James Denton
Hi Adam, If you're asking whether or not a VM can be attached to an 'external' network so that the 'public' ip is the fixed IP of them VM, then yes. A Neutron router can also be attached to the same network so that instances in non-routable tenant networks can obtain floating IPs from the same

Hi Jason, Certain commands can only be executed via admin url, which in your case may not be routable from external networks. You would need to consider changing the admin endpoint to an ip/FQDN that can be accessed externally (like public url) or limit the ability to execute those particular c

2015-10-02 Thread James Denton
If eth1 is used for the vxlan tunnel end points, it can't also be used in a bridge ala provider_bridge_mappings. You should have a dedicated interface or a vlan interface off eth1 (i.e. Eth1.20) that is dedicated to the overlay traffic. Move the local_ip address to that interface on respective n

Hi Salman, The external bridge, br-ex, does not require an IP address. When routers are connected to the bridge, it is true they procure an address from the external provider network. The address is applied to the qg interface within the router namespace. When instances send traffic out, the r

Hi Saju, Host routes added to a subnet get pushed to the instances in that subnet via dhcp. A route added to a router via router-create or router-update is added to the routing table within the qrouter namespace and affects all connected subnets/instances. James Sent from my iPhone > On Ju
