Install the Open vSwitch (OVS) plug-in on a dedicated controller node

Install the Open vSwitch plug-in:

# apt-get install neutron-plugin-openvswitch

You must set some common configuration options no matter which networking technology you choose to use with Open vSwitch. You must configure Networking core to use OVS. Edit the /etc/neutron/neutron.conf file:

core_plugin = neutron.plugins.openvswitch.ovs_neutron_plugin.OVSNeutronPluginV2

Configure the OVS plug-in for the networking type that you chose when you configured the network node: GRE tunneling or VLANs.

	Note
	The dedicated controller node does not need to run Open vSwitch or the Open vSwitch agent.

Now, return to the general OVS instructions.
