Open Stack

Not sure I quite understand the question, but to configuring VPNaaS in single provider mode, from a user’s perspective is the same (see api.openstack.org<http://api.openstack.org>).

To bring up a cloud that uses a different vendor’s service and device driver, you need to modify neutron.conf to select the vendor’s service driver (as the default driver), instead of the reference driver, and in vpn_agent.ini you select the vendor’s device driver (instead of or in addition to the reference implementation, doesn’t matter, as it pairs with the service driver).

HTHs,

OK, thank you guys, I understood that it was not possible to configure and make work any VPNaaS plugin. I don't care, by now, because it works in single-provider mode. I knew about the Cisco implementation, but I don't know how to configure it, because I didn't find enough documentation about that topic. I need some help on the basics configuring a VPNaaS plugin in single provider mode, because I only found information about it in 3rd party blog posts, etc.

What are the basic steps?

Thank you again.

By not “working” do you mean you cannot get the plugin to work in a multi-provider environment? Multi-provider solutions have been tabled until Juno, where more discussion is occurring on what is the best way to support different service providers.

However, you should be able to get the plugin to work as the “sole” VPN service provider, which is what the Cisco solution does currently. You can look at how I’ve done that in the cisco_ipsec.py modules in the service_drivers and device_drivers directories, under neutron/services/vpn/.

I'm following the change you pointed a week ago. It seems that it is working now, and will be eventually approved soon. I will be happy when it is approved.

Anyway, I need more information about how to develop a service driver and a device driver for VPN plugin. I realize doing reverse-engineering that I need and RPC agent and and RPC between them to communicate and use a kind of callbacks to answer. Where I can find documentation about it and some examples? Is there any best practise guide of the use of this architecture?

Thank you again!

You need to include the change before developing your own driver.

QA (In my opinion and sth may be missing):
- What is the difference between service drivers and device drivers?
    service drivers are driven by vpn service plugin and are responsible for casting rpc request (CRUD of vpnservices) to and do callbacks from vpn agent.
    device drivers are driven by vpn agent and are responsible for implementing specific vpn operations and report vpn running status.

- Could I implement only one of them?
    device driver must be implemented based on your own device. Unless the default ipsec service driver is definitely appropriate, suggest you implement both of them. After including "VPNaaS integration with service type framework", the service driver work is simple.

- Where I need to put my Python implementation in my OpenStack instance?
   Do you mean let your instance runs your new codes? The default source codes dir is /opt/stack/neutron, you need to put your new changes into the dir and restart the neutron server.

- How could I configure my OpenStack instance to use this implementation?
   1.  Add your new codes into source dir
   2. Add appropriate vpnaas service_provider into neutron.conf and add appropriate "vpn_device_driver" option into vpn_agent.ini
   3. restart n-svc and q-vpn

Hope help you.

Hi.

I have asked in the Q&A website without success (https://ask.openstack.org/en/question/12072/how-to-implement-and-configure-a-new-vpnaas-driver-from-scratch/<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v1/url?u=https://ask.openstack.org/en/question/12072/how-to-implement-and-configure-a-new-vpnaas-driver-from-scratch/&k=oIvRg1%2BdGAgOoM1BIlLLqw%3D%3D%0A&r=F5etm0B6kVJ9jleIhCvNyA%3D%3D%0A&m=9uhm%2F59JRfiZ3CXzuhBOpqcTqWk8APswRGJFZ8H2Tos%3D%0A&s=73a239e478da9a7d12255611481016295433378154fb612bd567c30d77788648>).

I want to develop a vpnaas implementation. It seems that since Havana, there are plugins, services and device implementations. I like the plugin and his current API, then I don't need to reimplement it. Now I want yo implement a vpnaas driver, and I see I have two main parts to take into account: the service_drivers and the device_drivers. IPsec/OpenSwan implementation is the unique sample I've found.

I'm using devstack to test my experiments.

I tried to implement VpnDriver Python class extending the main API methods like IPsecVPNDriver does. I placed basic implementation files at the same level of IPsec/OpenSwan does and configured Neutron adding this line to /etc/neutron/neutron.conf file:

service_provider = VPN:VPNaaS:neutron.services.vpn.service_drivers.our_python_filename.OurClassName:default

I restarted Neutron related services in my devstack instance, but it seemed it didn't work.



- What is the difference between service drivers and device drivers?
- Could I implement only one of them?
- Where I need to put my Python implementation in my OpenStack instance?
- How could I configure my OpenStack instance to use this implementation?



I didn't find almost any documentation about these topics.

Thank you very much.
