# Openstack instances cannot access Internet [linuxbridge] I am having serious issues in the deployment of the Openstack scenario related to the Linux Bridge. This is the scenario: - Controller machine:     - Management Interface `enp2s0`: 138.100.10.25. - Compute machine:     - Management Interface `enp2s0`: 138.100.10.26.     - Provider Interface `enp0s20f0u4`: 138.100.10.27. Openstack Train scenario has been successfully deployed in Centos 8, choosing networking option 2 (self-service network). To verify the functionality, an image has been uploaded, created an Openstack flavor and security group, and launched a couple of cirrOS instances for connection testing. We have created a provider network following [this tutorial](https://docs.openstack.org/newton/install-guide-rdo/launch-instance-networks...) and a selfservice network following [this one](https://docs.openstack.org/newton/install-guide-rdo/launch-instance-networks...). The network scenario is the next one: As can be seen in the network topology, an external network 138.100.10.0/21 (provider) and an internal network 192.168.1.1 (selfservice) have been created, connected through a router by the interfaces 138.100.10.198 and 192.168.1.1, both active. Our problem is that our Linux bridge is not working as expected: the Openstack cirrOS instances has no internet access. This is the controller `ip a` and `brctl show` command output: This is the compute `ip a` and `brctl show` command output: (The output of `ovs-vsctl show` command is empty in both machines). **Are the Linux Bridges correctly created?** These are the Linux bridge configuration files: * Controller `/etc/neutron/plugins/ml2/linuxbridge_agent.ini`: ``` [linux_bridge] physical_interface_mappings = provider:enp2s0     # enp2s0 is the interface associated to 138.100.10.25 [vxlan] enable_vxlan = true local_ip = 138.100.10.25    # controller has only 1 IP l2_population = true ``` * Compute `/etc/neutron/plugins/ml2/linuxbridge_agent.ini`: ``` [linux_bridge] physical_interface_mappings = provider:enp0s20f0u4        # interface associated to 138.100.10.26 [vxlan] enable_vxlan = true local_ip = 138.100.10.27 l2_population = true ``` An **observation** to keep in mind is that compute management interface (`138.100.10.26`) is inaccessible from anywhere, which I think is not correct since this prevents us, for example, from accessing the instance console through the URL. I have made some conection tests and these are the results: - There is **connection** between Cirros A and Cirros B (in both directions). - There is **connection** between Cirros A/B and self-service gateway (192.168.1.1) (in both directions). - There is **connection** between Cirros A/B and provider gateway (138.100.10.198) (in both directions). - There is **connection** between Cirros A/B and controller management interface (138.100.10.25) (in both directions). - There is **no connection** between Cirros A/B and compute management interface (138.100.10.26). This interface is not accessible. - There is **connection** between Cirros A/B and compute provider interface (138.100.10.27) (in both directions). I do not know if there is a problem on Linux bridge configuration files, or maybe I need another network interface on controller machine.
