Use OpenStack CLI to manage the topology between compute nodes and SLX devices. The Physical Network Topology extension provides a Neutron CLI for the OpenStack administrator to manage links between SLX devices and Compute NICs. Neutron has an abstract for physical network called Provider Network.
Note
All network and server connection settings and mappings can be saved to
.csv files for configuring them simultaneously using the
startup file option in the
ml2_conf_extreme.ini.
Network provisioning and de-provisioning on EFA depends on physnet mapping for non-default physnets. When a node is added or deleted from the mapping file, the EFA operations are updated accordingly.
Use the settings in the follow table to set up the physical topology.
