We are running provider network with VLAN /FLAT, does the neutron-openvswitch-agent is mandatory to be running in order to make the VM deployed able to connect outside?
e.g. I have a VM instance-00000027, I login the VM and ping out side, in the mean time, use another session to
systemctl stop neutron-openvswitch-agent.service then wait for a few minutes, the ping will stop, does this is an expected behavior?
I know nova-compute is not running won't affect VM functionality, but does neutron openvswitch agent is needed or not? Thanks a lot
