Configure the Neutron OVS plug-in for VLANs

Configure OVS to use VLANS. Edit the /etc/neutron/plugins/openvswitch/ovs_neutron_plugin.ini file:

[ovs]
tenant_network_type = vlan
network_vlan_ranges = physnet1:1:4094
bridge_mappings = physnet1:br-DATA_INTERFACE

Create the bridge for DATA_INTERFACE and add DATA_INTERFACE to it:

# ovs-vsctl add-br br-DATA_INTERFACE
# ovs-vsctl add-port br-DATA_INTERFACE DATA_INTERFACE

Transfer the IP address for DATA_INTERFACE to the bridge in the same way that you transferred the EXTERNAL_INTERFACE IP address to br-ex. However, do not turn on promiscuous mode.

Return to the OVS general instruction.
