Extreme Plugin for DevStack

Synopsis

The 'extreme' mechanism driver of OpenStack Neutron ML2 has a so-called topology DB, effectively describing wiring between Extreme Networks switches and OpenStack compute hosts. The Extreme L3 plugin needs some device (ie. networking device) attributes set very early. This plugin performs a minimalistic initialization for all Extreme neutron plugins and drivers, so they can be started, tested and maintained in devstack.

Configuration

Put this into your devstack's local.conf:

[[local|localrc]]

enable_service neutron

enable_plugin q-extreme ssh://gerrit.ericsson.se:29418/cee/openstack/devstack-extreme master

Q_PLUGIN=ml2 Q_ML2_PLUGIN_TYPE_DRIVERS=vlan Q_ML2_PLUGIN_MECHANISM_DRIVERS=openvswitch,extreme,baremetal Q_ML2_TENANT_NETWORK_TYPE=vlan

EXTREME_MGMT_IP="192.168.200.20" EXTREME_MGMT_USER="devstack" EXTREME_MGMT_PASSWORD="devstack"

Extreme deployment type

This variable will be ignored when the extreme plugin is not loaded

There are two possible options now

single-mocked - This option means that you have an all-in-one

devstack with mocked extreme.

multi-emulated - This option means that you have a multi host devstack

(an all-in-one host + a compute node) with an extreme emulator.

EXTREME_DEPLOYMENT_TYPE=single-mocked

Topology DB

You need to specify the hostnames of both of your hosts if you have set

EXTREME_DEPLOYMENT_TYPE to multi-emulated. Otherwise these variables will

be ignored.

HOST_ALL_IN_ONE="devstack" HOST_COMPUTE="compute"

Extreme L3: Do not enable q-l3 (that is the l3-agent) and Extreme L3

together because they are incompatible.

EXTREME_ENABLE_L3=True
