Plugin contains the following settings:

  1. Fabric Mode -- Big Switch Big Cloud Fabric can be deployed as a p-only (physical-only) fabric, which manages all the physical switches, or p+v (physical and virtual) fabric, which manages all the physical and virtual switches. In P-only mode, BCF is a L2-only fabric in VLAN mode. L3-agent will provide the routing function. In P+V mode, BCF is a L2-and-L3 fabric in VLAN mode. All compute nodes will install SL-v (Switch Light virtual) switches. All the SL-v switches and physical switches will be managed by BCF SDN controller cluster. In P+V mode, fuel bigswitch plugin will automatically un-install OVS and install SL-v switches on all compute nodes.
  2. BCF Controller1 -- This is the IP address of the first BCF controller in the controller cluster. This is a required field. If the controller cluster only has one controller, this is the place to enter the controller IP address.
  3. BCF Controller2 -- This is the IP address of the second BCF controller in the controller cluster. This is an optional field. If it is empty, then BCF controller is in standalone mode.
  4. BCF Controller Username -- The username to access BCF controller's REST APIs
  5. BCF Controller Password -- The password to access BCF controller's REST APIs
  6. Openstack Instance ID -- The ID of the Openstack instance. Mulitple cloud orchestration systems can share the same BCF fabric. This field is to identify the orchestration system.
