Neutron Extensions

Networking-SFC

Preparation and deployment

Modify the /etc/kolla/globals.yml file as the following example shows:

enable_neutron_sfc: "yes"

Verification

For setting up a testbed environment and creating a port chain, please refer to networking-sfc documentation.

Neutron VPNaaS (VPN-as-a-Service)

Preparation and deployment

Modify the /etc/kolla/globals.yml file as the following example shows:

enable_neutron_vpnaas: "yes"

Verification

VPNaaS is a complex subject, hence this document provides directions for a simple smoke test to verify the service is up and running.

On the network node(s), the neutron_vpnaas_agent should be up (image naming and versioning may differ depending on deploy configuration):

# docker ps --filter name=neutron_vpnaas_agent

CONTAINER ID   IMAGE                                                               COMMAND         CREATED          STATUS        PORTS  NAMES
97d25657d55e   operator:5000/kolla/centos-source-neutron-vpnaas-agent:4.0.0   "kolla_start"   44 minutes ago   Up 44 minutes        neutron_vpnaas_agent

Kolla-Ansible includes a small script that can be used in tandem with tools/init-runonce to verify the VPN using two routers and two Nova VMs:

tools/init-runonce
tools/init-vpn

Verify both VPN services are active:

# neutron vpn-service-list

+--------------------------------------+----------+--------------------------------------+--------+
| id                                   | name     | router_id                            | status |
+--------------------------------------+----------+--------------------------------------+--------+
| ad941ec4-5f3d-4a30-aae2-1ab3f4347eb1 | vpn_west | 051f7ce3-4301-43cc-bfbd-7ffd59af539e | ACTIVE |
| edce15db-696f-46d8-9bad-03d087f1f682 | vpn_east | 058842e0-1d01-4230-af8d-0ba6d0da8b1f | ACTIVE |
+--------------------------------------+----------+--------------------------------------+--------+

Two VMs can now be booted, one on vpn_east, the other on vpn_west, and encrypted ping packets observed being sent from one to the other.
