Enable the Non-Journal Plug-in

ML2 Configuration

The following configuration lines must be available in /etc/neutron/plugins/ml2/ml2_conf.ini. The mechanism driver must be set to extreme_efa along with openvswitch.

[ml2]
mechanism_drivers = openvswitch,extreme_efa,sriovnicswitch

L3 Service Plug-in Configuration

The following configuration lines must be available in the /etc/neutron/neutron.conf file for the L3 Service plug-in to be activated.

[DEFAULT]
service_plugins = extreme_l3_efa,efa_topology_plugin,trunk,segments

Note

extreme_l3_efa is an L3 Service Plug-in and is a replacement for the default L3 Service Plug-in (called router). Only one of them should be used.

L3 Flavor Configuration

To enable L3 flavors with Extreme, service providers must be added to neutron.conf, as follows. Multiple service providers flavor, that is ExtremeL3ServiceProvider and ExtremeL3ServiceProviderv2, can be added to the configuration file, but only one can be the default. The router creation command must specify the flavor profile for whichever router is being created. For more information, see L3 Flavors.

[service_providers]
service_provider = 
L3_ROUTER_NAT:extreme:networking_extreme.l3.l3_flavor. ExtremeL3ServiceProvider:default

Note

Flavors require the default L3 Service Plug-in (called router). In other words, flavors can be used only when the service plug-in is router:

service_plugins =
    router,efa_topology_plugin,trunk,segments
