Create a Single Segment VFPT VM Network

You can create a single segment VFPT VM network on a 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 a single segment VFPT VM network with DC Edge. The non-default physnet in this scenario is VFPT_L.

Table 1. Commands and impacts
Command Impact on EFA

openstack network create --provider-physical-network VFPT_L --provider-network-type flat ss9_vfpt_flat_left

No impact, as operations are on a FLAT network type.

openstack network create --provider-physical-network VFPT_R --provider-network-type flat ss9_vfpt_flat_right

openstack subnet create ss8flatleftsubnet --network ss9_vfpt_flat_left --no-dhcp --subnet-range 107.1.1.0/24

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
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

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

Is the neutron UUID allocated for the EPG

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 impact, as the –no-dhcp option is used.
