neutron

create security group

Asked by Akilesh on 2014-02-03

I was trying to use the python-neutronclient for creating security groups and it throws the weird ("NeutronClientException: Unable to find 'security_group' in request body" ) exception. Why is it trying to find a security group when I am trying to create a new one.

the list and get method of the python-neutronclient work well though.

I checked the neutron api documentation and see that it has CRUD methods only for network, subnet and ports. (https://wiki.openstack.org/wiki/Neutron/APIv2-specification)

Now I am really confused about the work-flow. Is neutron responsible for creating security groups or is it nova(create works with python-novaclient except that i do not know how to add rules to the sg).

Can any one tell me which process is responsible for this workflow and what the api is and if there is support for it in any python client.

You should be able to use either the nova or quantum commands to do this. Can you show us what you typed in and what error you are getting?

If I alter the url and remove the trailing '/' I get

response body:

    }

The same error comes from python-neutronclient

Can you show the output of neutron ext-list ; it looks like you might be using a plugin that doesn't have the security_group extension enabled. What plugin are you using.
