having a problem with snat routing under OVN but I'm <br>
not sure if something is mis-configured or just my
understanding of how <br>
OVN is architected is wrong.<br>
<br>
I've built a Zed cloud, since upgraded to Antelope,
using the Neutron <br>
Manual install method here: <br>
<a href="https://docs.openstack.org/neutron/latest/install/ovn/manual_install.html" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" moz-do-not-send="true" class="moz-txt-link-freetext">https://docs.openstack.org/neutron/latest/install/ovn/manual_install.html</a><br>
I'm using a multi-tenent configuration using geneve
and the flat <br>
provider network is present on each hypervisor. Each
hypervisor is <br>
connected to the physical provider network, along with
the tenent <br>
network and is tagged as an external chassis under
OVN.<br>
br-int exists, as does br-provider<br>
ovs-vsctl set open . <br>
external-ids:ovn-cms-options=enable-chassis-as-gw<br>

<div>Any specific reason to enable gateway on compute
nodes? Generally it's recommended to use
controller/network nodes as gateway. What's your
env(number of controllers, network, compute nodes)?<br>
</div>
</div>

<div>Wouldn't it be interesting to enable-chassis-as-gw on the
compute nodes, just in case you want to use DVR: If that's
the case, you need to map the external bridge (<span style="background-color:rgb(244,245,247);color:rgb(23,43,77);font-family:SFMono-Medium,"SF Mono","Segoe UI Mono","Roboto Mono","Ubuntu Mono",Menlo,Consolas,Courier,monospace;font-size:14px;white-space:pre">ovs-vsctl set open . external-ids:ovn-bridge-mappings=...</span>)
via ansible this is created automatically, but in the manual
installation I didn't see any mention of it.</div>

<br>
Our intention was to distribute the routing on our OVN cloud to take
advantage of DVR as our provider network is just a tagged vlan in
our physical infrastructure. This avoids requiring dedicated
network node(s) and fewer bottlenecks. I had not set up any <span style="background-color:rgb(244,245,247);color:rgb(23,43,77);font-family:SFMono-Medium,"SF Mono","Segoe UI Mono","Roboto Mono","Ubuntu Mono",Menlo,Consolas,Courier,monospace;font-size:14px;white-space:pre">ovn-bridge-mappings</span>
as it was not mentioned in the manual install. I will look into it.<br>

<div>The problem is basically that the port of the OVN LRP may
not be in the same chassis as the VM that failed (since the
CR-LRP will be where the first VM of that network will be
created). The suggestion is to remove the
enable-chassis-as-gw from the compute nodes to allow the VM
to forward traffic via tunneling/Geneve to the chassis where
the LRP resides.<br>

<br>
I forced a similar VM onto the same chassis as the working VM, and
it was able to communicate out. If we do want to keep multiple
chassis' as gateways, would that be addressed with the
ovn-bridge-mappings?<br>
