<p dir="ltr">Hi Gilles, ESXi uses linuxbridges or are you referring to a multi hypervisor scenario? Curious you know the names in advance.......</p>

So I have to ask, last I heard, you have to run nova network if you want to use OpenStack with VMware without an nsx license. Is this still the case or are there plans for changes in the near future that I missed where one can run neutron with VMware without an NSX license procurement?<br>
<br>
Just wondering, haven't heard but I do know there are efforts to sunset nova network at some point...<br>

Hello,<br>
<br>
I've just manage to make it work with Neutron ML2 / Linuxbridge / VLAN provider networks.<br>
The only drawback is that you have to pre-create portGroups with the names of the linux bridges created on the compute node / network node.<br>
You also have to create a trunk portGroup br-int, with promiscuous, transmit forge and MAC modification accepted.<br>
This is where you connect the VLAN interface of your network node.<br>
<br>
It's a bit condensed, but now you know it's possible !<br>
<br>
PS:<br>
There a ML2 mechanism driver : vmware_dvs that should ease this, creating the portgroups, but :<br>
- It's not packages on Ubuntu cloud archive<br>
- I didn't manage to make it work. I had errors creating some access policies...<br>
