How to Install

  1. Install the package:

    $ pip install networking-fujitsu
    
  2. Add fujitsu_fossw to mechanism_drivers option in /etc/neutron/plugins/ml2/ml2_conf.ini, for example:

    mechanism_drivers = openvswitch,fujitsu_fossw
    
  3. Modify ml2_conf_fujitsu_fossw.ini and make neutron-server to read it.

    For RedHat, add the following options in ExecStart in /usr/lib/systemd/system/neutron-server.service:

    --config-file /etc/neutron/plugins/ml2/ml2_conf_fujitsu_fossw.ini
    

    For Ubuntu, add the following line to /etc/default/neutron-server:

    NEUTRON_PLUGIN_ML2_CONFIG="/etc/neutron/plugins/ml2/ml2_conf_fujitsu_fossw.ini"
    

    and add the following line before ‘exec start-stop-daemon ...’ in /etc/init/neutron-server.conf:

    [ -r "$NEUTRON_PLUGIN_ML2_CONFIG" ] && CONF_ARG="${CONF_ARG} --config-file $NEUTRON_PLUGIN_ML2_CONFIG"
    

Configuration

Both VLAN and VXLAN network type are supported (ie. both type_drivers and tenant_network_types in [ml2] section of configuration files should include vlan or vxlan).

The following parameters can be specified in [fujitsu_fossw] section of configuration files (such as ml2_conf_fujitsu_fossw.ini).

fossw_ips (Mandatory)

The List of IP addresses of all FOS switches. This is a mandatory parameter.

Example:

fossw_ips = 192.168.0.1,192.168.0.2,...

Note

Following configurations are common to all FOS switches in fossw_ips.

username (Mandatory)

The FOS switches username to use. Please note that the user must have administrator rights to configure FOS switches. This is a mandatory parameter.

Example:

username = admin
password (Mandatory)

The FOS switches password to use. It has no default value. This is a mandatory parameter.

Example:

password = admin
port (Optional)

The port number which is used for SSH connection. The default value is 22.

Example:

port = 22
timeout (Optional)

The timeout of SSH connection. The default value is 30.

Example:

timeout = 30
udp_dest_port (Optional)

The port number of VXLAN UDP destination on the FOS switches. All VXLANs on the switches use this UDP port as the UDP destination port in the UDP header when encapsulating. The default value is 4789.

Example:

udp_dest_port = 4789
ovsdb_vlanid_range_min (Optional)

The minimum VLAN ID in the range that is used for binding VNI and physical port. The range of 78 VLAN IDs (starts from this value) will be reserved. The default value is 2 (VLAN ID from 2 to 79 will be reserved).

Example:

ovsdb_vlanid_range_min = 2

Note

DO NOT include VLAN IDs specified by ovsdb_vlanid_range_min into “network_vlan_ranges” in ml2_conf.ini.

ovsdb_port (Optional)

The port number which OVSDB server on the FOS switches listen. The default value is 6640.

Example:

ovsdb_port = 6640

FOS Switch Configuration

The following configurations are needed for all FOS switches. These are needed only for VXLAN. In the case of VLAN, any configurations is not needed.

  1. Log in to FOS switch.

  2. Enter configuration mode.

    Example:

    (ET-7648BRA-FOS) #configure
    
  3. Set VTEP IP address for switch side.

    Example:

    (ET-7648BRA-FOS) (Config)#vxlan vtep source-ip 192.167.3.111
    
  4. Set port number of VXLAN UDP destination, which is specified as udp_dest_port in the configuration file.

    Example:

    (ET-7648BRA-FOS) (Config)#vxlan udp-dst-port 4789
    
  5. Exit configuration mode and start ovsdb setup.

    Example:

    (ET-7648BRA-FOS) (Config)#exit
    (ET-7648BRA-FOS) #ovsdb
    
  6. Set port number of OVSDB server in the FOS switch, which is specified as ovsdb_port in the configuration file.

    Example:

    (ET-7648BRA-FOS) #ovsdb tcp port 6640
    
  7. Check ovsdb_vlanid_range_min value in configuration file, and confirm that the VLAN ID within the range from ovsdb_vlanid_range_min to ovsdb_vlanid_range_min + 77 are not used.

    Example:

    (ET-7648BRA-FOS) #show vlan 3
    VLAN does not exist.
    
  8. Log out of FOS switch.
