Connect OpenStack Quantum to VLAN tagged physical network

Asked by Angel Olivera

Hello,

I am using Ubuntu 12.04 and OpenStack Grizzly from the Ubuntu Cloud archive. I am trying to get the instances to get an IP address from dnsmasq in the 10.33.8.0/24 or 10.33.9.0/24 space and use physical routers at .1 as gateways. Furthermore, these two subnets should be tagged with VLANs 108 and 109, respectively.

Is this doable? I have been trying different configurations with Open vSwitch to no avail. My network layout is as follows:

Nodes
=====

Controller, network, compute node (32-core system)
[eth0] 10.33.10.210. gateway: 10.33.10.1 (physical router)
[eth1] connected to VLAN port on switch

Compute nodes
[eth0] 10.33.10.X
[eth1] connected to VLAN port on switch

Logical networks
============

[net1]
vlan:108
cidr: 10.33.8.0/24
gateway: 10.33.8.1 (physical router)

[net2]
vlan: 109
cidr: 10.33.9.0/24
gateway: 10.33.9.1 (physical router)

One of the configurations I tested:

/etc/quantum/plugins/openvswitch/ovs_quantum_plugin.ini
network_vlan_ranges = default:1:4094
bridge_mappings = default:br0

ovs-vsctl add-br br-int
ovs-vsctl add-br br0
ovs-vsctl add-port br0 eth1

quantum net-create --shared net1 --provider:network_type vlan --provider:physical_network default --provider:segmentation_id 108
quantum subnet-create net1 10.33.8.0/24
quantum subnet-create net2 10.33.9.0/24

Thanks in advance!

Solved this issue by creating the vlan devices on the respective interfaces, adding them to the corresponding bridges with ovs-vsctl and configuring two external networks with quantum.

This would correspond to the "Multiple Flat Network" use case described in the Grizzly Networking Administration Guide[1], although the configuration is not explained. Quantum provides DHCP with default routes 10.33.8.1 (vlan 108) and 10.33.9.1 (vlan 109). Namespaces are used and there is one instance of the metadata proxy per each namespace.
