openstack network create --provider-physical-network PFPT_R --provider-network-type flat ss7_pfpt_flat_right

openstack subnet create ss7flatleftsubnet --network ss7_pfpt_flat_left --no-dhcp --subnet-range 107.1.1.0/24

openstack subnet create ss7flatrightsubnet --network ss7_pfpt_flat_right --no-dhcp --subnet-range 108.1.1.0/24

openstack port create –-network pfpt_flat_left --vnic-type direct-physical ss7_port_pfpt_left

openstack port create –-network pfpt_flat_right --vnic-type direct-physical ss7_port_pfpt_right

openstack network trunk create --parent-port ss7_port_pfpt_left ss7PFPTTrunkLag1

openstack server create --flavor myhuge --image ubuntu --port $(neutron port-list | grep -w 'ss7_port_pfpt_left' | awk '{print $2}') --port $(neutron port-list | grep -w 'ss7_port_pfpt_right' | awk '{print $2}') ss7PFPTLAGVM1 --availability-zone nova:compute-0-10.domain.tld --poll
No impact as operations are on FLAT network type
openstack network create --provider-network-type vlan --provider-physical-network PFPT_LAG --provider-segment 3370ss7network1

EPG Created for ss7network1

Name = 74cbf489-f3d9-41c7-bbb2-6cb7df33da6d

CTAG = 3370

Note - 74cbf489-f3d9-41c7-bbb2-6cb7df33da6d

Is the neutron UUID allocated for the EPG

openstack subnet create ss7subnet1 --network ss7network1 --no-dhcp --subnet-range 70.1.1.0/24

openstack subnet create ss7subnet1ipv6 --network ss7network1 --ip-version 6 --no-dhcp --subnet-range fd00:70:0:57::1000/64
No impact as –no-dhcp option is used.
openstack port create ss7PFPTSubPort1 --network ss7network1 --mac-address <same-mac-as-ss7_port_pfpt_left> --vnic-type direct-physical --fixed-ip subnet=ss8subnet1,ip-address=70.1.1.10 --fixed-ip subnet=ss7subnet1ipv6,ip-address=fd00:70:0:57::10
openstack network trunk set --subport port=ss7PFPTSubPort1,segmentation-type=vlan,segmentation-id=3370

Endpoint corresponding to ss7PFPTSubPort1 added to EPG(ss7network1) VLAN Provisioned

EPG Updated

Name = 84cbf489-f3d9-41c7-bbb2-6cb7df33da6d

Port = lag_2 (added)

EndPoint corresponding to ‘host DCGW-1‘ added to EPG (ss9network1) VLAN Provisioned

EPG Updated

Name = 84cbf489-f3d9-41c7-bbb2-6cb7df33da6d

Port = lag_2 ,lag_4 (added)
