Neutron Router - Not working [closed]

Hi,

I'm not sure if this is related to neutron's network on the hyperv node running cloudbase nova driver or if this is related/isolated to the controller itself...

I am currently testing out OpenStack using a packstack AIO (Ocata) installation, however, I'm having a hard time to get networking up and running using neutron's router...

The packstack instance is running on a CentOS 7.3 hyperv guest with 6x NICs connected:

  • eth0 = openstack data/management network
  • eth1 = controller management ip
  • eth2 = br-public-network
  • eth3 = br-local-network
  • eth4 = br-load-balancing-network
  • eth5 = br-del-corp

I'm using OpenVSwitch (-vs- linuxbridge) and therefore, created the following bridges before running the packstack installer:

ovs-vsctl add-br br-public-network ; ovs-vsctl add-port br-public-network eth2
ovs-vsctl add-br br-local-network ; ovs-vsctl add-port br-local-network eth3
ovs-vsctl add-br br-load-balancing-network ; ovs-vsctl add-port br-load-balancing-network eth4
ovs-vsctl add-br br-del-corp ; ovs-vsctl add-port br-del-corp eth5

My packstack's answer file has the following details in regards to neutron/ovs:

CONFIG_NEUTRON_L3_EXT_BRIDGE=br-public-network
CONFIG_NEUTRON_ML2_TYPE_DRIVERS=vlan,flat
CONFIG_NEUTRON_ML2_TENANT_NETWORK_TYPES=vlan
CONFIG_NEUTRON_ML2_MECHANISM_DRIVERS=openvswitch,hyperv
CONFIG_NEUTRON_ML2_FLAT_NETWORKS=*
CONFIG_NEUTRON_ML2_VLAN_RANGES=physnet1,physnet2:500:2000,physnet3:2010:3010
CONFIG_NEUTRON_ML2_TUNNEL_ID_RANGES=
CONFIG_NEUTRON_ML2_VXLAN_GROUP=
CONFIG_NEUTRON_ML2_VNI_RANGES=10:100
CONFIG_NEUTRON_L2_AGENT=openvswitch
CONFIG_NEUTRON_LB_INTERFACE_MAPPINGS=
CONFIG_NEUTRON_OVS_BRIDGE_MAPPINGS=physnet1:br-public-network,physnet2:br-local-network,physnet3:br-load-balancing-network
CONFIG_NEUTRON_OVS_EXTERNAL_PHYSNET=physnet1

I've been able to create and use the following networks:

  • public-network, physnet1 (flat), no router, public routeable cidr subnet, no dhcp
  • private-network, physnet2 (vlan id: 501), no router, local non-routeable cidr subnet (10.0.10.0/24), no dhcp

** I'm injecting IPs instead of using DHCP..

Both networks are working fine. I can spin up instances and they can communicate to either the external network (eg: Internet) or the local network.

Now, when it comes to creating a public network that would be used for load balancing projects and therefore, would be providing a neutron router, this is where it becomes problematic... I'm creating the "load balancing network" using the following commands:

neutron net-create --provider:network_type=vlan --provider:physical_network=physnet3 --router:external=True PUBLIC-CLUSTER-NETWORK
neutron subnet-create PUBLIC-CLUSTER-NETWORK PUBLIC_CIDR_HERE/27 --gateway GW_IP_HERE --allocation-pool start=IP_START_HERE,end=IP_END_HERE --disable-dhcp --name PUBLIC-CLUSTER-SUBNET --dns-nameservers list=true 8.8.8.8 4.2.2.2
neutron router-create ROUTER-PUBLIC-CLUSTER-NETWORK
neutron router-gateway-set ID_ROUTER ID_NETWORK

Then, I'm creating a "local cluster network" that would be using the router created above:

neutron net-create --provider:network_type=vlan --provider:physical_network=physnet2 CLIENT0001-CLUSTER-NETWORK --tenant-id=e0f7fb96271f48588e2aac86d66ae42e
neutron subnet-create CLIENT0001-CLUSTER-NETWORK 192.168.23.0/24 --name CLIENT0001-CLUSTER-SUBNET --dns-nameservers list=true 8.8.8.8 4.2.2.2 --disable-dhcp
neutron router-interface-add ID_ROUTEUR ID_CLIENT_SUBNET

Result in the Neutron router IP configuration is:

# ip netns exec qrouter-78ab8780-6282-4b8b-b840-b92ba0916e62 ip a
1: lo: <LOOPBACK,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 65536 qdisc noqueue state UNKNOWN

Hello,

Your eth2 needs to be up. ifconfig eth2 up

If that's already the case, than it might be the case there is some miss-configuration on the networking side.

Thanks, Adrian Vladu

my bad.. that was it!.. I completely forgot to bring these devices up.. silly me.. thanks for having pointed this out! Cheers,
