Step 6: Configuring the Dell OVS Agent

To configure the Dell OVS Agent:

1. Create the physical and integration bridge

2. Configure the Dell OVS Plug-in

3. Configure the Rootwrap

4. Restart the Dell OVS Agent on Nova Compute Node or Network Node

5. Configure the Nova Compute Node or Network Node

Step 1: Creating the Physical and Integration bridge

This section describes how to add the physical port and bonding to the Dell OVS agent. For each Ethernet port that

connects to the switches, you create a physical bridge and integration bridge. On each Nova Compute node and

network node, the physical bridge and integration bridge can be connected by one of the following ways:

• A single Ethernet port; for example, eth4.

• Port bonding two Ethernet ports. For port bonding, configure port bonding bond0 with two Ethernet ports; for

example, eth4 and eth5.

Example: Adding a Physical Port to the Dell OVS Agent

The following example shows how to create an integration bridge and add a physical port to the bridge for eth4.

ovs-vsctl add-br br-eth4 #Create a integration bridge to the bridge

ovs-vsctl add-port br-eth4 eth4 #Add a physical port

Example: Adding a Port Bonding to the Dell OVS Agent

The following examples shows how to add port bonding, bond0 , to the Dell OVS agent.

ovs-vsctl add-br br-bond0 # Create a integration bridge

ovs-vsctl add-port br-bond0 bond0 # Add the port bonding port to the bridge

For information about how to create a port bonding, see the Configuring Port Bonding section.

Step 2: Configuring the Dell OVS Plug-in

To configure the dell_ovs_quantum_plugin.ini file:

1. On each compute node and network node, add the following content into the OVS section of the

dell_ovs_quantum_plugin.ini file:

[OVS]

bridge_mappings = default:br-bond0

network_vlan_ranges = default:1000:1100

tenant_network_type = vlan
