Gateway Device Management API update for Router Peering

Gateway Device Management API update for Router Peering¶

https://blueprints.launchpad.net/networking-midonet/+spec/gw-device-api

MidoNet provides a Neutron extension API called Gateway Device Management to provide device-level gateway management service to the operators. This API is required in order to propagate device connectivity details to enable Midonet to manage VTEP Logical Switch configuration upon Logical Gateway definition. In order to support Router Peering and Direct Connect use cases following definition in [2], Overlay VTEP Router device is supported by MidoNet. [3] While for the routing functionality this device is managed as traditional neutron Router, it should be possible for operator (or Orchestration Layer) to enable its VTEP functionality. While for HW VTEP Device this API is used for management IP and Port settings, for Overlay VTEP Router Device it is used to enable Router with VTEP Logical Switch management capability.

VTEP Tunnel IPs and Remote MAC Table management is currenly supported for the ‘router_vtep’ type of gateway device only.

Other VTEP configurations as well as VTEP device status are out of the scope of the current version of this API.

Gateway device should be identified by the user driven name in order to correlate it with Logical Gateway entity.

Proposed Change¶

The following section provides details of the enhanced version of the device management spec [1] with support for both HW VTEP and Overlay VTEP Router as gateway devices.

REST API¶

GatewayDevice

Attribute Name	Type	CRUD	Required	Description
id	string (UUID)	CR	generated	ID of the Gateway Device
name	string	CRU	No	User defined device name
tenant_id	string	CR	Yes	Tenant ID of gateway Device object owner
management_ip	string (ip addr)	CR	No	Management IP to the device. Defaults to None.
management_port	int	CR	No	Management port to the device. Defaults to None.
management_protocol	string	CR	No	Management protocol to manage the device: ovsdb or none. If management ip and port are specified, defaults to ovsdb. Otherwise to none.
type	string	CR	No	Type of the device: hw_vtep or router_vtep. Defaults to hw_vtep
resource_id	string (UUID)	CR	No	Resource UUID or None (for type router_vtep will be router UUID)
tunnel_ips	string (list of ip addrs)	CRU	No	IP addresses on which gateway device originates or terminates tunnels.
remote_mac_entries	list of entries	CR	No	Mapping of MAC addresses to the tunnel IP addresses of the corresponding VTEP

Currently, only the HW VTEP device and Router VTEP are supported.

Remote MAC Table entries are managed as sub-resource of the gateway_device.

RemoteMac

Attribute Name	Type	CRUD	Required	Description
id	string (UUID)	CR	generated	ID of the remote mac entry
mac_address	string	CR	Yes	MAC address
vtep_address	string	CR	Yes	Remote VTEP Tunnel IP to be used to reach this MAC address
segmentation_id	int	CR	Yes	VNI to be used to reach this MAC address
