So can someone please explain the `--router` option to `neutron
firewall-create` in more detail? Here is what I get from `neutron help
firewall-create`:
usage: neutron firewall-create [-h] [-f {json,shell,table,value,yaml}]
[-c COLUMN] [--max-width <integer>]
[--noindent] [--prefix PREFIX]
[--request-format {json,xml}]
[--tenant-id TENANT_ID] [--name NAME]
[--description DESCRIPTION]
[--admin-state-down] [--router ROUTER]
POLICY
...
optional arguments:
...
--router ROUTER Firewall associated router names or IDs (requires
FWaaS router insertion extension, this option can
be
repeated)
...
Is there someplace I can learn more about this "FWaaS router insertion
extension"? When I use DevStack, does it install this extension? How do
I controls its installation when using DevStack? How do I install it when
not using DevStack? How, in general, can I tell whether it is
installed/enabled? What happens if I do not supply a `--router` argument
to this command? Does the answer to that depend on whether the FWaaS
router insertion extension is installed/enabled?
Thanks,
Mike
