Deploy Neutron in a Single Homed Leaf Network

About this task

This procedure provides steps to deploy Neutron in a single homed leaf network with the following connections:

Compute Host Compute-1: Network interface card eth1 connected to switch Leaf-1 (single homed leaf) port 0/1
Compute Host Compute-2: Network interface card eth1 connected to switch Leaf-4 (single homed leaf) port 0/1

Note

All network and server connection settings and mappings can be saved to csv files for bulk configuration using the startup file option in the ml2_conf_extreme.ini file.

Procedure

Build the topology.

# sudo efa-pn-mapping add -H compute-1 -p physnet1 -n eth1 
# sudo efa-pn-mapping add -H compute-2 -p physnet1 -n eth1 
# sudo efa-link-mapping add -H compute-1 -n eth1 -s leaf-1-ip-address -p 0/1
# sudo efa-link-mapping add -H compute-2 -n eth1 -s leaf-4-ip-address -p 0/1

These configurations can be included in pn.csv and link.csv files for bulk topology setup.

Create the Neutron network and subnet.

# openstack network create net1 --provider-network-type vlan --provider-physical-network physnet1 --provider-segment 30   

# openstack subnet create subnet1 --network net1 --subnet-range 20.0.5.0/24

Create a Neutron port.

# openstack port create port0 --network net1

Create a VM.

# openstack server create --flavor m1.tiny --image cirros-0.3.5-x86_64-disk --nic port-id=port0 --availability-zone compute-1  instance-1
