Configure the Networking components on a compute node.
The Linux bridge agent builds layer-2 (bridging and switching) virtual networking infrastructure for instances and handles security groups.
Edit the /etc/neutron/plugins/ml2/linuxbridge_agent.ini
file and
complete the following actions:
In the [linux_bridge]
section, map the provider virtual network to the
provider physical network interface:
[linux_bridge]
physical_interface_mappings = provider:PROVIDER_INTERFACE_NAME
Replace PROVIDER_INTERFACE_NAME
with the name of the underlying
provider physical network interface. See Host networking
for more information.
In the [vxlan]
section, disable VXLAN overlay networks:
[vxlan]
enable_vxlan = false
In the [securitygroup]
section, enable security groups and
configure the Linux bridge iptables firewall driver:
[securitygroup]
# ...
enable_security_group = true
firewall_driver = neutron.agent.linux.iptables_firewall.IptablesFirewallDriver
Return to Networking compute node configuration
