This page mostly describes v4 of the trunk port spec, however it is slightly out-of-date.

Overview

Neutron extension to access lots of neutron networks over a single vNIC as tagged/encapsulated traffic.

API

read-write: http://git.openstack.org/cgit/openstack/neutron/tree/neutron/extensions/trunk.py
read-only convenience: http://git.openstack.org/cgit/openstack/neutron/tree/neutron/extensions/trunk_details.py

API-CLI mapping

CLI verb (as in the spec)	CLI verb (openstack client)	HTTP method	URL
trunk-create	network trunk create	POST	/v2.0/trunks
trunk-delete	network trunk delete	DELETE	/v2.0/trunks/$trunk_id
trunk-list	network trunk list	GET	/v2.0/trunks
trunk-show	network trunk show	GET	/v2.0/trunks/$trunk_id
trunk-subport-add	network trunk set	PUT	/v2.0/trunks/$trunk_id/add_subports

FIXME Special values to legacy port attributes, eg: device_owner, device_id

FIXME Ignored and/or problematic neutron port attributes for subports:

attribute name	reason
mac_address	no mechanism to tell the guest os/app what mac to use
binding:*	FIXME

CLI usage example

openstack network create net0
openstack network create net1
openstack network create net2
openstack subnet create --network net0 --subnet-range 10.0.4.0/24 subnet0
openstack subnet create --network net1 --subnet-range 10.0.5.0/24 subnet1
openstack subnet create --network net2 --subnet-range 10.0.6.0/24 subnet2
openstack port create --network net0 port0 # will become a parent port
openstack port create --network net1 port1 # will become a child port: at trunk create time
openstack port create --network net2 port2 # will become a child port: later

openstack network trunk create --parent-port port0 trunk0
openstack network trunk create --parent-port port0 trunk1 # error expected: Port UUID is currently in use and is not eligible for use as a parent port.
openstack network trunk list
openstack network trunk show trunk0
openstack network trunk delete trunk0

openstack network trunk create --parent-port port0 --subport port=port1,segmentation-type=vlan,segmentation-id=101 trunk0
openstack network trunk list
openstack network trunk show trunk0
openstack network subport list --trunk trunk0

# The only vNIC in your instance corresponds to the parent port, so boot your instance with the parent port given.
# Do not add child ports as NICs to 'nova boot / openstack server create'.
# Use an image with support for vlan interfaces. CirrOS will not cut it.
# eg: sudo ip link add ... type vlan ...
#openstack server create --flavor m1.nano --image VLAN-CAPABLE-IMAGE --nic port-id=port0 --wait vm0

# The typical cloud image will auto-configure eth0 only and not the vlan interfaces (eth0.VLAN-ID).
ssh VM0-ADDRESS sudo ip link add link eth0 name eth0.101 type vlan id 101

openstack network trunk set --subport port=port1,segmentation-type=vlan,segmentation-id=999 trunk0 # error expected: Failed to add subports to trunk 'trunk0': Port UUID is in use by another trunk.
openstack network trunk set --subport port=port2,segmentation-type=vlan,segmentation-id=101 trunk0 # error expected: Failed to add subports to trunk 'trunk0': segmentation_type vlan and segmentation_id 101 already in use on trunk UUID.
openstack network trunk set --subport port=port2,segmentation-type=vlan,segmentation-id=102 trunk0
openstack network trunk show trunk0

# Again you need to bring your child port vlan interfaces up.
ssh VM0-ADDRESS sudo ip link add link eth0 name eth0.102 type vlan id 102

ssh VM0-ADDRESS sudo ip link delete dev eth0.102
openstack network trunk unset --subport port2 trunk0

openstack port delete port0 # error expected: FIXME HttpException: Conflict
openstack port delete port1 # error expected: FIXME HttpException: Conflict
