[Apologies for re-posting, but I botched the subject line the first time
and know that people use filters.]
I have been looking at
http://docs.openstack.org/developer/devstack/guides/neutron.html and
wonder about a few things.
In the section
http://docs.openstack.org/developer/devstack/guides/neutron.html#using-neutron-with-a-single-interface
there is a helpful display of localrc contents. It says, among other
things,
OVS_PHYSICAL_BRIDGE=br-ex
PUBLIC_BRIDGE=br-ex
In the next top-level section,
http://docs.openstack.org/developer/devstack/guides/neutron.html#using-neutron-with-multiple-interfaces
, there is no display of revised localrc contents and no mention of
changing either bridge setting. That is an oversight, right? I am
guessing I need to set OVS_PHYSICAL_BRIDGEand PUBLIC_BRIDGEto different
values, and the exhibited `ovs-vsctl` commands in this section apply to
$OVS_PHYSICAL_BRIDGE. Is that right? Are there other revisions I need to
make to localrc?
Looking at
http://docs.openstack.org/networking-guide/scenario_legacy_ovs.html (or,
in former days, the doc now preserved at
http://docs.ocselected.org/openstack-manuals/kilo/networking-guide/content/under_the_hood_openvswitch.html
) I see the name br-ex used for $PUBLIC_BRIDGE--- not $OVS_PHYSICAL_BRIDGE
, right? Wouldn't it be less confusing if
http://docs.openstack.org/developer/devstack/guides/neutron.html used a
name other than "br-ex" for the exhibited commands that apply to
$OVS_PHYSICAL_BRIDGE?
The section
http://docs.openstack.org/developer/devstack/guides/neutron.html#neutron-networking-with-open-vswitch
builds on
http://docs.openstack.org/developer/devstack/guides/neutron.html#using-neutron-with-multiple-interfaces
NOT
http://docs.openstack.org/developer/devstack/guides/neutron.html#using-neutron-with-a-single-interface
--- right? Could I stop after reading that section, or must I go on to
http://docs.openstack.org/developer/devstack/guides/neutron.html#neutron-networking-with-open-vswitch-and-provider-networks
?
The exhibited localrc contents in section
http://docs.openstack.org/developer/devstack/guides/neutron.html#using-neutron-with-a-single-interface
include both of these:
Q_L3_ENABLED=True
Q_USE_PROVIDERNET_FOR_PUBLIC=True
and nothing gainsays either of them until section
http://docs.openstack.org/developer/devstack/guides/neutron.html#neutron-networking-with-open-vswitch-and-provider-networks
--- where we first see
Q_L3_ENABLED=False
Is it true that all the other sections want both Q_L3_ENABLEDand
Q_USE_PROVIDERNET_FOR_PUBLICto be True?
Thanks,
Mike
