Talk:Neutron/FloodlightPluginSetup
Revision as of 15:21, 14 October 2013 by Darragh-oreilly (talk | contribs) (address some questions raised earlier)
- How do you connect physical interfaces to the br-int bridge on the compute hosts? Do you create a separate bridge like with the openvswitch plugin, or do you connect them directly, or something else?
No need for separate bridge. Floodlight uses link discovery protocols to determine links between the br-ints.
- How do you connect the external interface on the network node to the br-int bridge?
There is no l3-agent, so there is nothing to create an equivalent qg-xxxxxx-xx interface.
- What other configuration is required on the network node?
I need to look into that more. I really don't think there is much that can be done, bar changing code.
- Do we need to explicitly set the bridge status up on br-int, e.g.: ip link set dev br-int up
That ip command sets interfaces to the up status. You would only need to do this with interfaces from bridges if you wanted to put an IP address on them. That should never be necessary with br-int.
- How do you configure for DevStack? (see last section for current status)
I have included the localrcs from a 2 node config that I have tested.
