[Neutron] - Getting bridge_name of the port from Java sdk
Hi All, Looks like as part of the below commit, bridge_name info has been removed from port binding vif_details dictionary. Is there any way that we can get the bridge_name info of a port? As far as checked we can get this info by checking if port UUID is part of the “ports” array in “sudo ovs-vsctl list br” output. But there is no equivalent way to get from Java SDK. https://github.com/openstack/neutron/commit/569bafbbd5f90a458d781f1e49f099f9... Thanks, Mahudees
Hello Mahudeeswaran: This topic is being discussed in [1]. The patch [2] you are referring to is not changing the previous code related to the mentioned parameter "bridge name". Please check [3]. Also consider that this value was populated when using Trunk ports, to store the Trunk bridge name created on the port description. In ML2/OVN, all ports are attached to the integration bridge (there is a configuration parameter to define the integration name bridge called "integration_bridge", that by default is "br-int").

nova may have config options for the default bridge name to use but we should not be relying on them. so as apart of the ml2/ovs to ml2/ovn migration the bridge_name in the port binding should get update to the correct value for the current cloud. we have not formally deprcated https://docs.openstack.org/nova/latest/configuration/config.html#neutron.ovs... but we likely shold do that now that we can rely on neutron ml2 backend that supprot ovs always settign this.

Hello Sean: The bridge name in the port VIF details was added for the VLAN aware VMs feature. [1] is the patch adding this functionality in Nova. This is also used with bridge type ports (for hybrid plug). But there is no requirement to include the name of the OVS bridge in this dictionary and we are not doing that for any other directly attached ports, not in ML2/OVS nor in ML2/OVN. If Nova requires that, then it should be needed to create an RFE in Neutron to always include it. Regards.

Ok, I'll raise this issue in the Neutron team today during the networking meeting. On Tue, Dec 5, 2023 at 11:45 AM <smooney@redhat.com> wrote:

i may propose a depercation patch depending on your disucssion but we are in no rush. long term however it would be preferabel if neutron alwasy told use what bridge to use and we nolonger had to keep the nova.conf and neutron.conf/ovsdb in sync to have this work.
