Setting of NEC NWA plugin¶
This section describes the configurations of the releases of NEC NWA plugin.
neutron.conf¶
core_plugin: Needs to be configured to
necnwa
to use NEC NWA plugin as core plugin.core_plugin = necnwa
service_plugin: Needs to be configured to
necnwa_router
to use NEC NWA plugin as service plugin.service_plugin = necnwa_router
plugin specific configuration¶
It is usually placed at /etc/neutron/plugins/nec/necnwa.ini
.
[ml2] section¶
type_drivers: Needs to be configured to
vlan
to use NEC NWA plugin as type_drivers.type_drivers = vlan
tenant_network_types: Needs to be configured to
vlan
to use NEC NWA plugin as tenant_network_types.tenant_network_types = vlan
mechanism_drivers: Needs to be configured to
necnwa
andopenvswitch
to use NEC NWA plugin as mechanism_drivers.mechanism_drivers = necnwa,openvswitch
[ml2_type_vlan] section¶
network_vlan_ranges: Specify the name of an available physical network and a range of VIDs on that network available for allocation to tenant networks. The physical network should be the same name of NWA resource group name.
network_vlan_ranges = OpenStack/DC/APP:1000:2999,OpenStack/DC/HA1:10:2999,OpenStack/DC/HA2:10:2999
[ovs] section¶
bridge_mappings: Specify list of <physical_network>:<bridge> tuples, each specifying an OVS bridge used by the agent for a physical network to which it is connected.
bridge_mappings = OpenStack/DC/HA1:br-eth1,OpenStack/DC/HA2:br-eth2
[NWA] section¶
server_url: The URL of the http/https server listening for NWA RESTful API:
server_url = http://192.168.122.1:12081
access_key_id: The access key ID of NWA RESTful API server. The access key consists of an access key ID and secret access key, which are used to sign RESTful API requests that you make to NWA.
access_key_id = mjivAk6O3G4Ko/0mD8mHUyQwqugEPgTe0FSli8REyN4=
secret_access_key: The secret access key of NWA Restful API server. The access key consists of an access key ID and secret access key, which are used to sign RESTful API requests that you make to NWA.
secret_access_key = /3iSORtq1E3F+SQtQg6YN00eM3GUda0EKqWDUV/mvqo=
resource_group_name: A default rerouce group name when NWA tenant is created.
resource_group_name = OpenStack/DC/APP
scenario_polling_timer: Specifies the polling interval of the scenario in seconds.
scenario_polling_timer = 5
scenario_polling_count: Specifies the polling counts of the scenario.
scenario_polling_count = 300
region_name: A region name (It is the prefix of NWA tenant name).
region_name = T01DC
resource_group_file: Load the table of NWA resource group from the file.
resource_group_file = resource_group.json
NWA resource group file¶
It is usually placed at “/etc/neutron/plugins/nec/resource_group.json.”
This file contains a table of NWA resource group. The format of the file is JSON.
The physical_network
is a name of physical network which is used
in neutron. It should be set to the same value as
ResourceGroupName
member.
The device_owner
is the owner of the device in OpenStack.
It is specified as compute:AVAILABILITY_ZONE
, the VM that has a
nova boot option --available-zone
is created on the physical
network corresponding with the device owner.
If the option --available-zone
is not specified in nova boot,
regarded as compute:None
has been specified.
All available DHCP agent in OpenStack specifies as network:dhcp
.
The ResourceGroupName
is a name of NWA’s resource group name.
