Hello, I prefer for kolla to create the bridge automatically. Each node has two physical interfaces. The network_interface and neutron_external_interface options are set in the inventory file.
you need set octavia_network_interface and configure external switch properly
I have octavia_network_interface set to "{{ api_interface }}" and api_interface is set to "{{ network_interface }}", the defaults. What do you mean by "configure external switch properly"? If you mean the external option when creating OpenStack networks, then I used the defaults in globals.yml which does not include that option. If you mean the physical switch, I'm using a low-budget switch I had lying around that is not configurable. Thanks for the help - everything else with kolla-ansible has been fairly easy. -Stu ---- From: W Ch <wchy1001@gmail.com> Sent: Tuesday, August 16, 2022 5:32 AM To: Stuart Whitman <swhitman@groupw.com> Cc: openstack-discuss@lists.openstack.org <openstack-discuss@lists.openstack.org> Subject: Re: [kolla-ansible][octavia] need networking help Hi Stuart: Usually, you need to add a bridge to all network nodes, you can use "ovs-vsctl add-br {br-name}" to add a ovs bridge, then you need to add a physical port to that bridge by executing "ovs-vsctl add-port {bridge} {port}". another alternatives, you can append the physical port to neutron_external_interface variable in globals.yml. in this case, kolla will create the ovs bridge automatically. both of them, you need set octavia_network_interface and configure external switch properly. if you really don't know how this works, I propose you use "octavia_network_type: tenant" ref: [0] , in this case, kolla-ansible will setup the octavia management network for you, you don't need to do anything.

When I try to launch a loadbalancer instance, the octavia-worker.log file reports: "WARNING octavia.amphorae.drivers.haproxy.rest_api_driver [-] Could not connect to instance." I researched enough to know that the problem has to do with networking between the controller and the lb-mgmt-net network. I initially overlooked this in the kolla-ansible Octavia documentation: "If using a VLAN provider network, ensure that the traffic is also bridged to Open vSwitch on the controllers." But, I don't know how to do it. Help to create the necessary bridge would be greatly appreciated.
