Thanks Kyle and Robert very much for all these information.

So, it seems that the new devstack version that contains Cisco plugin support is already available at https://review.openstack.org/#/c/25378/? Should I just use 'git fetch' to download it and install? Is this Havana version(release)?

After I download, can I just use Q_plugin to configure the core plugin? Do I still need to follow the manual set up steps on https://wiki.openstack.org/wiki/Cisco-quantum#A_Cisco_Plugin_Framework_for_Quantum_L2_Network_Overlays_Spanning_Multiple_Physical_Switches_.28Havana_Release.29?

Thanks,

YuLing

I should note Robert's review for adding support to devstack for the Cisco plugin is here:

https://review.openstack.org/#/c/25378/

I've been running with it for a few weeks and it works great!

Thanks,
Kyle

I followed the instruction in the webpage (https://wiki.openstack.org/wiki/Cisco-quantum#A_Cisco_Plugin_Framework_for_Quantum_L2_Network_Overlays_Spanning_Multiple_Physical_Switches_.28Grizzly_Release.29) to configure cisco plugin. However, devstack seems to always pick up OVSQuantumPluginV2 as 'core_plugin'.  Any idea?

If not, what else I need to do in order for openstack to pick up Cisco plugin in devstack environment?
