Open Stack

Hi,
In general there plaguing is responsible for setting the port status. So for example if you are using the OVS plugin, when the OVS agent attaches the virtual port to the integration bridge it will notify the service and the port status will be set.
Thanks
Gary

Thanks a lot for answer
So for port state to change from DOWN to ACTIVE do I have to do some changes in physical networks?
I am fairly new to openstack and have very basic knowledge on openstack networking so please suggest me a way to achieve this

Hi,
At the moment you are able to dynamically add and remove a nic from an instance if and only if you are using Neutron. This is currently supported by libvirt. The code for Vmware is up in review for Juno and in development for the XenAPI.
The port will become active when the backend networking implementation has the interface attached to the instance and the virtual nic attached to the virtual network.
Thanks

Subject: [Openstack] Changing port status

Hi,
I was searching on a way to add multiple interfaces for an instance launched on openstack. I found this concept of ports created within neutron network. I could create port but its status is always down so -

1- What would I need to do to make port status active
2- Is this the right way to add multiple interfaces to instance?

Thank you
