[Openstack] Understanding Integration Bridge and MACs

Thank you both but when I try to delete any such network using nova-manage network delete tenant net_ID, I get the following error:

2012-05-02 01:47:59 TRACE nova   File "/opt/stack/nova/bin/nova-manage", line 867, in delete
2012-05-02 01:47:59 TRACE nova     raise Exception("Deleting by fixed_range is not supported " \
2012-05-02 01:47:59 TRACE nova Exception: Deleting by fixed_range is not supported with the QuantumManager

How can I delete nets defined using fixed_range parameter?

Thanks,
Salman

In addition to the mail that follows, I am having some problem with quantum networks as well. When I create a network using :

sudo nova-manage network create --label=$tenant0 --fixed_range_v4=$iprange0 --project_id=$tenant0



I can see the network using both "quantum list_nets $tenant0" and "nova-manage network list", but when I delete the network using "quantum delete_net $tenant0 $netID", the nova-manage network list still shows the network and when I try to use the same CIDR for another network,I get an error saying CIDR already in use. Shouldn't deleting "quantum list_nets" and "nova-manage network list" be consistent with each other ?



In Essex, when using Nova all Quantum network creation and deletion must occur using nova-manage.  This is because we store the IP address management data associated with a network is stored in the Nova database.  As Yong mentioned, in Folsom we are storing IP address management data in Quantum itself, in which case network creation can happen directly via the Quantum API and Nova VMs will still be able to get IPs.

Hi Dan and Others,

I am trying to understand the actions taken by Ryu when the new instance sends DHCP discover message to dnsmasq. When I launch new instannce it keeps on sending discover messages and controller keeps on dropping these messages. But looking at the traffic I couldn't exactly map which MAC address belonged to which entity. Can someone help me with my understanding of the MAC addresses. Using ifconfig , "ovs-ofctl show br-int" and "ovs-ofctl snoop br-int" (output shown after MAC addresses), I know exactly about some MAC addresses and can't figure out some of them:



Interfaces              |        HWAddress          |        IP-addr
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
eth0                        |        08:00:27:7a:ff:65    |    10.0.3.15


eth1                        |        08:00:27:16:d5:09  |    10.0.0.10             <========plugged into br-int
gw-82bd3a73-dc    |        fa:16:3e:49:57:1b  |    10.0.0.1               <========plugged into br-int (this is the --listen-address of my two dnsmasqs)


br-int                       |        08:00:27:16:d5:09 |                                <========why doesn't bridge have no IP ?
new-instance          |        02:d8:47:48:35:26  <====== MAC address of newly launched instance? (see output below)



Unkown                 |        fa:16:3e:5e:02:17   <======Seemingly unknown MAC address(which is related to the new instance?)


Unkown                  |        33:33:00:00:00:16   <====== MAC address related to multicast ?




Questions:

1. What is gw-82bd3a73-dc interface ?


2. I am kind of unsure why br-int is so useful? 
3. Why doesn't br-int don't have any IP address?
4. Why do we need to plugin a compute node's interface to br-int? (so that guest instances on remote host can communicate with each other?)


5. What is the relationship b/w 02:d8:47:48:35:26 and fa:16:3e:5e:02:17 MAC addresses in the following output?
