Create Single Segment VFPT VM Network

About this task

Perform this procedure to create a single segment VFPT VM network on non-default physnet and extend the network to DC Edge.
Note

Note

VLAN provisioning depends on the following:
  • VFPT ports are bound to a host when the VFPT Subport is attached to the trunk port
  • DC Edge extension is achieved using explicit port-create

The following figure shows an overview of single segment VFPT VM network with DC Edge.

Procedure

  1. Create OpenStack networks, VFPT_L and VFPT_R. 
    # openstack network create --provider-physicalnetwork VFPT_L --provider-network-type flat ss9_vfpt_flat_left

# openstack network create --provider-physicalnetwork VFPT_R --provider-network-type flat ss9_vfpt_flat_right
    No EFA impact as network type is flat.
  2. Create an OpenStack subnet. 
    # openstack subnet create ss8flatleftsubnet --network ss9_vfpt_flat_left --no-dhcp --subnet-range 107.1.1.0/24
  3. Create an OpenStack port. 
    # openstack port create –-network ss9_vfpt_flat_left --vnic-type direct ss9_port_vfpt_left1 openstack network trunk create --parent-port ss9_port_vfpt_left1 ss9SriovTrunkLag1
  4. Create an OpenStack server. 
    # openstack server create --flavor myhuge --image ubuntu --port $(neutron port-list | grep -w 'ss9_port_vfpt_left1' | awk '{print $2}') ss9SriovVM1 --availability-zone nova:compute-0-10.domain.tld --poll
  5. Create an OpenStack network. 
    # openstack network create --provider-network-type vlan --provider-physical-network VFPT_L --providersegment 3390 ss9network
    EPG is created for ss9network:
    • Name: 74cbf489-f3d9-41c7-bbb2-6cb7df33da6d
    • CTAG: 3390
    • Neutron UUID allocated for the EPG: 74cbf489-f3d9-41c7-bbb2-6cb7df33da6d
  6. Create OpenStack subnets, ss9subnet1 and ss9subnet1ipv6. 
    # openstack subnet create ss9subnet1 --network ss9network1 --no-dhcp --subnet-range 90.1.1.0/24

# openstack subnet create ss9subnet1ipv6 --network ss8network1 --ip-version 6 --no-dhcp --subnet-range fd00:90:0:57::1000/64
    No EFA impact as --no-dhcp option is used.
  7. Create an OpenStack port. 
    # openstack port create ss9SriovSubPort1 --network ss9network1 --mac-address <same-mac-asss9_port_vfpt_left1> --vnic-type direct --fixed-ip subnet=ss9subnet1,ip-address=90.1.1.10 --fixed-ip subnet=ss9subnet1ipv6,ip-address=fd00:90:0:57::10
  8. Create an OpenStack network trunk set. 
    openstack network trunk set --subport port=ss9SriovSubPort1,segmentationtype=vlan,segmentation-id=3390ss9SriovTrunkLagopenstack port setss9SriovSubPort1 --device-owner compute:nova --host compute-0-10.domain.tld --device <samedeviceid-as-ss9_port_vfpt_left1> --binding-profile pci_slot=<same-as-slot-of-ss9_port_vfpt_left1> --binding-profile pci_vendor_info=<same-as-vendorof-ss9_port_vfpt_left1> --binding-profile physical_network=<same-as-physnet-ofss9_port_vfpt_left1>
    End point corresponding to ss9SriovSubPort1 is added to EPG(ss9network1) and VLAN is provisioned.

    EPG is updated:

    • Name: 74cbf489-f3d9-41c7-bbb2-6cb7df33da6d
    • Port: L4[0/2] (added)
  9. Extend ss9network1 to DC Edge. 
    # openstack port create ss9DcGwPort --network ss9network1 --device-owner network:dc_edge --host DCGW-1
    End Point corresponding to host DCGW-1 is added to EPG (ss9network1) and VLAN is provisioned.
    EPG is updated:
    • Name = 74cbf489-f3d9-41c7-bbb2-6cb7df33da6d
    • Port = L4[0/2]. lag_4 (added)
