Networking Attributes

Basic networking configuration is controlled with the following attributes:

  • openstack["compute"]["network"]["network_manager"] - Defaults to "nova.network.manager.FlatDHCPManager". Set to "nova.network.manager.VlanManager" to configure VLAN Networking.
  • openstack["compute"]["network"]["fixed_range"] - The CIDR for the network that VMs will be assigned to. In the case of VLAN Networking, this should be the network in which all VLAN networks that tenants are assigned will fit.
  • openstack["compute"]["network"]["dmz_cidr"] - A CIDR for the range of IP addresses that will NOT be SNAT'ed by the nova network controller
  • openstack["compute"]["network"]["public_interface"] - Defaults to eth0. Refers to the network interface used for VM addresses in the fixed_range.
  • openstack["compute"]["network"]["vlan_interface"] - Defaults to eth0. Refers to the network interface used for VM addresses when VMs are assigned in a VLAN subnet.

You can have the cookbook automatically create networks in Nova for you by adding a Hash to the openstack["compute"]["networks"] Array. Note: The openstack-compute::nova-setup recipe contains the code that creates these pre-defined networks.

Each Hash must contain the following keys:

  • ipv4_cidr - The CIDR representation of the subnet. Supplied to the nova-manage network create command as --fixed_ipv4_range
  • label - A name for the network

In addition to the above required keys in the Hash, the below keys are optional:

  • num_networks - Passed as-is to nova-manage network create as the --num_networks option. This overrides the default num_networks nova.conf value.
  • network_size - Passed as-is to nova-manage network create as the --network_size option. This overrides the default network_size nova.conf value.
  • bridge - Passed as-is to nova-manage network create as the --bridge option.
  • bridge_interface -- Passed as-is to nova-manage network create as the --bridge_interface option. This overrides the default vlan_interface nova.conf value.
  • dns1 - Passed as-is to nova-manage network create as the --dns1 option.
  • dns2 - Passed as-is to nova-manage network create as the --dns2 option.
  • multi_host - Passed as-is to nova-manage network create as the --multi_host option. Values should be either 'T' or 'F'
  • vlan - Passed as-is to nova-manage network create as the --vlan option. Should be the VLAN tag ID.

By default, the openstack["compute"]["networks"] array has two networks:

  • openstack["compute"]["networks"]["public"]["label"] - Network label to be assigned to the public network on creation

  • openstack["compute"]["networks"]["public"]["ipv4_cidr"] - Network to be created (in CIDR notation, e.g., 192.168.100.0/24)

  • openstack["compute"]["networks"]["public"]["num_networks"] - Number of networks to be created

  • openstack["compute"]["networks"]["public"]["network_size"] - Number of IP addresses to be used in this network

  • openstack["compute"]["networks"]["public"]["bridge"] - Bridge to be created for accessing the VM network (e.g., br100)

  • openstack["compute"]["networks"]["public"]["bridge_dev"] - Physical device on which the bridge device should be attached (e.g., eth2)

  • openstack["compute"]["networks"]["public"]["dns1"] - DNS server 1

  • openstack["compute"]["networks"]["public"]["dns2"] - DNS server 2

  • openstack["compute"]["networks"]["private"]["label"] - Network label to be assigned to the private network on creation

  • openstack["compute"]["networks"]["private"]["ipv4_cidr"] - Network to be created (in CIDR notation e.g., 192.168.200.0/24)

  • openstack["compute"]["networks"]["private"]["num_networks"] - Number of networks to be created

  • openstack["compute"]["networks"]["private"]["network_size"] - Number of IP addresses to be used in this network

  • openstack["compute"]["networks"]["private"]["bridge"] - Bridge to be created for accessing the VM network (e.g., br200)

  • openstack["compute"]["networks"]["private"]["bridge_dev"] - Physical device on which the bridge device should be attached (e.g., eth3)

  • openstack["compute"]["novnc_proxy"]["service_port"] - Port on which NoVNC runs

Testing

This cookbook uses bundler, berkshelf, and strainer to isolate dependencies and run tests.

Tests are defined in Strainerfile.

To run tests:

$ bundle install # install gem dependencies
$ bundle exec berks install # install cookbook dependencies
$ bundle exec strainer test # run tests
