 Networking API and credential configuration

Each time you provision or de-provision a VM in Compute, nova-* services communicate with Networking using the standard API. For this to happen, you must configure the following items in the nova.conf file (used by each nova-compute and nova-api instance).

Table 7.7. nova.conf API and credential settings
Item Configuration

network_api_class

Modify from the default to nova.network.neutronv2.api.API, to indicate that Networking should be used rather than the traditional nova-network networking model.

neutron_url

Update to the hostname/IP and port of the neutron-server instance for this deployment.

neutron_auth_strategy

Keep the default keystone value for all production deployments.

neutron_admin_tenant_name

Update to the name of the service tenant created in the above section on Identity configuration.

neutron_admin_username

Update to the name of the user created in the above section on Identity configuration.

neutron_admin_password

Update to the password of the user created in the above section on Identity configuration.

neutron_admin_auth_url

Update to the Identity server IP and port. This is the Identity (keystone) admin API server IP and port value, and not the Identity service API IP and port.
