This directory includes agent for OpenFlow Agent mechanism driver.
# -- Installation
For how to install/set up ML2 mechanism driver for OpenFlow Agent, please refer to

# -- Notes for updating from Icehouce
OVS.bridge_mappings is deprecated for ofagent. It's planned to be
removed in Kilo. Please use AGENT.physical_interface_mappings instead.
To mimic an existing setup with bridge_mapping, you can create
a veth pair, link one side of it to the bridge, and then specify
the other side in physical_interface_mappings.
For example, if you have the following:
[OVS]
bridge_mappings=public:br-ex
You can do:
# ip link add int-public type veth peer name phy-public
# ip link set int-public up
# ip link set phy-public up
# ovs-vsctl add-port br-ex phy-public
and then replace the bridge_mappings with:
[AGENT]
physical_interface_mappings=public:int-public
After Icehouce, most of the functionality have been folded into
a single bridge, the integration bridge. (aka. br-int)
The integration bridge is the only bridge which would have an
OpenFlow connection to the embedded controller in ofagent now.
- ofagent no longer uses a separate bridge for tunneling.
Please remove br-tun if you have one.
# ovs-vsctl del-br br-tun
- ofagent no longer acts as an OpenFlow controller for physical bridges.
Please remove set-controller configuration from your physical bridges.
# ovs-vsctl del-controller ${PHYSICAL_BRIDGE}
The support of ancillary bridges has been removed after Icehouce.
While you can still use these bridges to provide connectivity,
neutron-ofagent-agent no longer reports port state changes (up/down)
for these bridges. If it is a problem for you, please consider
tweaking your configuration to avoid using ancillary bridges.
We recommend to use a provider network instead as the following:
- Make l3-agent external_network_bridge configuration empty.
eg.
[DEFAULT]
external_network_bridge=
- (Re-)create a network (and subnet) for public connectivity with
a flat provider network.
eg.
neutron net-create $PUBLIC_NETWORK -- \
--router:external=True \
--provider:network_type:flat \
--provider:physical_network=$PUBLIC_PHYSICAL_NETWORK
- Associate your neutron router to the above network.
eg.
neutron router-gateway-clear $ROUTER_ID
neutron router-gateway-set $ROUTER_ID $PUBLIC_NETWORK
- Add the corresponding entry to bridge_mappings.
eg.
[OVS]
bridge_mappings=$PUBLIC_PHYSICAL_NETWORK:$PUBLIC_BRIDGE
The port naming scheme for ofagent has been changed after Icehouce.
If you are using security groups, you should switch firewall_driver
accordingly.
From:
[securitygroup]
firewall_driver=neutron.agent.linux.iptables_firewall.OVSHybridIptablesFirewallDriver
To:
[securitygroup]
firewall_driver=neutron.agent.linux.iptables_firewall.IptablesFirewallDriver
