In order to use this mechnism the brocade configuration file needs to be edited with the appropriate configuration information:
% cat /etc/neutron/plugins/ml2/ml2_conf_brocade.ini [switch] username = admin password = password address = <switch mgmt ip address> ostype = NOS
Additionally the brocade mechanism driver needs to be enabled from the ml2 config file:
% cat /etc/neutron/plugins/ml2/ml2_conf.ini
[ml2] tenant_network_types = vlan type_drivers = local,flat,vlan,gre,vxlan mechanism_drivers = brocade ... ... ...
