I seem to be having an issue with getting openvswitch configured properly. I am able to setup the OVS bridges br-tun and br-int with no issue and I can ping both the local IP (10.0.2.22) and the other vxlan endpoint (10.0.2.35) with no issue. However once I start the agent the IPs stop responding. The only way I can recover is to stop the agent and remove/readd br-tun.

When I start the agent the vxlan tunnel is created does not seem to work. The other end is a Centos 7.2 Liberty setup and I have successfully run another Centos 7.2 compute node using OVS and vxlan...

Here is the ovs-vsctl show:

C:\Users\Administrator>ovs-vsctl show

                type: patch
                options: {peer=patch-tun}
        Port br-tun
            Interface br-tun
                type: internal
        Port "external.1"
            Interface "external.1"
        Port "vxlan-0a000223"
            Interface "vxlan-0a000223"
                type: vxlan
                options: {df_default="true", dst_port="8472", in_key=flow, local_ip="10.0.2.22", out
_key=flow, remote_ip="10.0.2.35"}
        Port internal
            Interface internal
    Bridge br-int
        fail_mode: secure
        Port patch-tun
            Interface patch-tun
                type: patch
                options: {peer=patch-int}
        Port br-int
            Interface br-int
                type: internal

I'm not sure how to continue to debug this...


Here is the OVS config:

If I add a flow in table 0 at priority 1 or two with an action of NORMAL I am again able to ping the other endpoints. However, that prevents the packet from reaching table 10 which should be the VXLAN learning flow (or at least that is my understanding) I'm not sure what I am missing...

Hello JohnF,

Can you please try to remove the ports "internal" and "external1" from br-tun and add them inside a new bridge? You can do the following:

ovs-vsctl.exe del-port br-tun internal
ovs-vsctl.exe del-port br-tun external.1
ovs-vsctl.exe add-br br-ex
ovs-vsctl.exe add-port br-ex internal
ovs-vsctl.exe add-port br-ex external.1

Let us know if this fixes your issue.

Alin.

the external interface may be a misnomer as it is the interface used for the vxlan tunnels. The public interface with internet access is a separate adapter. I added the flow and other OVS information at the end of the original post. What I seem to be seeing is packets being dropped by the flows

JohnF gravatar imageJohnF ( 2016-02-24 22:02:19 +0300 )edit

I did do as suggested. The IP address was then available but no traffic was routed over the vxlan tunnels. I have reverted to the original configuration

OVS 2.4 has support only for a single NIC, 2.5 will have support for multiple NICs. What exactly are you trying to achieve using multiple NICs?

abalutoiu gravatar imageabalutoiu ( 2016-02-25 22:59:08 +0300 )edit

There are three NICs in use. One is for 'public/internet" access. This is not used for openstack. The second is the openstack management interface also not used by OVS. The third and the one in question here for OVS is the interface to be used for vxlan bridging...

I'm really at a loss here. icmp traffic is blocked to the target IP, arp traffics seems blocked, dhcp requests across the xvlan tunnel do not work. I do not know where else to troubleshoot. Any help would be appreciated.

Hello John,

Sorry for the delay.

As my colleague was suggesting add a new bridge so you do not have to write your own flows.

Traffic should go through the VXLAN tunnels only if a VM is started on the host. Once a VM is started on the host your br-tun flows should be updated by the neutron-ovs-agent.

We can debug further if that does not work for you.

Useful information. Please post all the following commands after starting a VM: ovs-dpctl show ovs-vsctl show ovs-ofctl dump-flows br-tun ovs-ofctl dump-flows br-int ovs-ofctl show br-tun ovs-ofctl show br-int

Please make sure that the extension is enabled only on a single VMSwitch and only one internal switch port is added to VMSwitch.

Alin.
