NeutronServerNecPlugin

Controller Node

1. Install neutron server and plugin.

sudo aptitude install neutron-server neutron-plugin-nec

2. Edit /etc/default/neutron-server so that neutron-server reads the correct plugin configuration file. neutron-server package does not configure the plugin configuration file during the installation. It may be improved in the future but I am not sure.

NEUTRON_PLUGIN_CONFIG="/etc/neutron/plugins/nec/nec.ini"

3. Edit /etc/neutron/neutron.conf.

[DEFAULT]
core_plugin = neutron.plugins.nec.nec_plugin.NECPluginV2
allow_overlapping_ips = True

rabbit_host = controller
rabbit_userid = guest
rabbit_password = RABBIT_PASS

[agent]
root_helper = sudo /usr/bin/neutron-rootwrap /etc/neutron/rootwrap.conf

[keystone_authtoken]
auth_host = controller
auth_port = 35357
auth_protocol = http
admin_tenant_name = service
admin_user = neutron
admin_password = NEUTRON_PASS

[database]
connection = mysql://neutron:NEUTRON_DBPASS@controller/neutron

• core_plugin must be configured.
• Set allow_overlapping_ips to True if you want to allow overlapping IPs across tenants.

4. Edit /etc/neutron/plugins/nec/nec.ini.

[ofc]
# Specify OpenFlow Controller Host, Port and Driver to connect.
host = 10.56.45.210
port = 8888

# Drivers are in neutron/plugins/nec/drivers/ .
driver = trema

[securitygroup]
# Firewall driver for realizing neutron security group function
firewall_driver = neutron.agent.linux.iptables_firewall.OVSHybridIptablesFirewallDriver

• ofc.host, ofc.port: Configure host and port number of REST API of OpenFlow controller.
• ofc.driver : Specify the driver for OpenFlow controller.
  • trema: Trema Sliceable Switch
  • pfc_v5 (aka pfc), pfc_v4 : NEC ProgrammableFlow OpenFlow Controller
• securitygroup.firewall_driver: It is required only if neutron-plugin-nec-agent is running on the controller node.

5. Remove the following root_helper from /etc/neutron/plugins/nec/nec.ini because neutron.conf has this entry.

# Use "sudo neutron-rootwrap /etc/neutron/rootwrap.conf" to use the real
# root filter facility.
# Change to "sudo" to skip the filtering and just run the comand directly
root_helper = sudo

6. Create neutron database.

# mysql -u root -p
mysql> CREATE DATABASE neutron;
mysql> GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON neutron.* TO 'neutron'@'localhost' \
IDENTIFIED BY 'NEUTRON_DBPASS';
mysql> GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON neutron.* TO 'neutron'@'%' \
IDENTIFIED BY 'NEUTRON_DBPASS';

7. Create neutron user and endpoint.

keystone user-create --name=neutron --pass=NEUTRON_PASS [email protected]
keystone user-role-add --user=neutron --tenant=service --role=admin
keystone service-create --name=neutron --type=network \
    --description="OpenStack Networking Service"
keystone endpoint-create \
    --service-id <neutron_service_id> \
    --publicurl http://controller:9696 \
    --adminurl http://controller:9696 \
    --internalurl http://controller:9696

8. Restart neutron server.

sudo service neutron-server restart
