<div dir="ltr">Hello,<div><br></div><div>I am working on an extension for neutron to allow external attachment point information to be stored and used by backend plugins/drivers to place switch ports into neutron networks[1]. </div>
<div><br></div><div>One of the primary use cases is to integrate ironic with neutron. The basic workflow is that ironic will create the external attachment points when servers are initially installed. This step could either be automated (extract switch-ID and port number of LLDP message) or it could be manually performed by an admin who notes the ports a server is plugged into. </div>
<div><br></div><div>Then when an instance is chosen for assignment and the neutron port needs to be created, the creation request would reference the corresponding attachment ID and neutron would configure the physical switch port to place the port on the appropriate neutron network.</div>
<div><div><br></div><div>If this workflow won't work for Ironic, please respond to this email or leave comments on the blueprint review.</div><div><br></div><div>1. <a href="https://review.openstack.org/#/c/87825/" target="_blank">https://review.openstack.org/#/c/87825/</a></div>
