[Openstack-operators] While adding external bridge connection lost to the network node

The br-ex config looks right, but you don't want eth0 to DHCP for an
address anymore.  Once its attached to br-ex, its an L2-only interface
(similar to switchport on cisco switch).  I think you want something like
this for eth0:

auto eth0
iface eth0 inet manual
  pre-up ifconfig $IFACE up
  post-down ifconfig $IFACE down


Thx,
britt

Thanks Britt.


You mean like this right?

cat /etc/network/interfaces
=========================
# The loopback network interface
auto lo
iface lo inet loopback

# The primary network interface
auto eth0
iface eth0 inet dhcp

# The external network interface
auto br-ex
iface br-ex inet static
       address 192.168.122.54
       netmask 255.255.255.0
       gateway 192.168.122.1
       dns-nameservers 8.8.8.8 8.8.4.4
==========================================================

Correct.  You need to updated your /etc/interfaces file so that the
192.168.122.54/24 <http://192.168.122.54/24> address gets assigned to
br-ex instead of eth0.

Hi Britt,

Thanks for the answer.

I am using Virtual machine(KVM) for openstack installation. Its a single
node installation.


Now i can create instance from openstack dahboard and and can login in to
the instance from dashboard konsole.

But i couln't connect to instance from controller node.

Also i couldn't have connection between instances.

Was the interface you added to br-ex the same interface to which you
connected to the box?  If so, this is expected.  When you add an interface
to the bridge you lose IP connectivity to that interface.  The IP address
which which was assigned to the interface
 now needs to be assigned to the br-ex bridge, and then you'll have
connectivity once again.

Hi Team,

While adding external bridge connection lost to the network node from
other nodes. we couldn't ssh to network node after creating bridge.

If we do below steps of following link

http://docs.openstack.org/icehouse/install-guide/install/apt/content/neutro
n-ml2-network-node.html

===========================================
3) Add the external bridge:

# ovs-vsctl add-br br-ex

4) Add a port to the external bridge that connects to the physical
external network interface:

Replace INTERFACE_NAME with the actual interface name. For example, eth2
or ens256.

# ovs-vsctl add-port br-ex INTERFACE_NAME
=============================================

External connection to network node fails. Then we couldn't connect to
network node from other machines.

Any one faced this issue?

Please help us to fix this issue.
