Hi all, 

Openstack version is Train
Deployed via Kayobe

I am trying to deploy octavia lbaas but hitting some blockers with regards to how this should be set up. I think the current issue is the lack of neutron bridge for the octavia network and I cannot locate how to achieve this from the documentation. 

I have this setup at the moment which I've added another layer 2 network provisioned to the controller and compute node, for running octavia lbaas:

[Controller node]------------octavia network-----------[Compute node]

However as there's no bridge, the octavia instance cannot connect to it. The exact error from the logs: 

2020-10-05 14:37:34.070 6 INFO neutron.plugins.ml2.drivers.openvswitch.agent.ovs_neutron_agent [-] Mapping physical network physnet3 to bridge broct
2020-10-05 14:37:34.070 6 ERROR neutron.plugins.ml2.drivers.openvswitch.agent.ovs_neutron_agent [-] Bridge broct for physical network physnet3 does not 

Bridge "broct" does exist but it's not a neutron bridge: 

[root@juc-kocon1-prd kolla]# brctl show
bridge name     bridge id               STP enabled     interfaces
brext           8000.001a4a16019a       no              eth5

broct           8000.001a4a160173       no              eth6
docker0         8000.0242f5ed2aac       no
[root@juc-kocon1-prd kolla]#


I've been through the docs a few times but I am unable to locate this info. Most likely the information is there but I am unsure what I need to look for, hence missing it.  

Would any of you be able to help shed light on this or point me to the documentation? 

Thank you
