Enable the Non-Journal Plug-in
This is an alternative Neutron configuration for setting up Layer 2 and Layer 3 without using journaling.
Complete the following changes in the configuration files to 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
