Open Stack

Hi Saverio,

Comments and questions inline:

First of all, which backend are you using? the l2gateway agent? or
something like OpenDaylight?? I'm currently testing an L2GW scenario with
ODL.

The ucast-mac-remote table is filled with information that don't match your
comments. In my environment, I have created only one neutron network, one
l2gw instance and one l2gw connection. However, the mac reflected in that
table corresponds to the dhcp port of the Neutron network (I've checked the
mac on the dhcp namespace and it's the same).
I've created several VMs in different compute nodes and there is only one
line there. Could you check again the MAC address?

In my setup I get this automatically:

mcast-mac-remote
  unknown-dst -> vxlan_over_ipv4/192.0.2.6

If you're using the agent, it might be a bug.

No production sorry, just PoC mode :-)
