dhcp_agent.ini

DEFAULT

ovs_integration_bridge

Type

string

Default

br-int

Name of Open vSwitch bridge to use

Warning

This option is deprecated for removal. Its value may be silently ignored in the future.

Reason

This variable is a duplicate of OVS.integration_bridge. To be removed in W.

ovs_use_veth

Type

boolean

Default

False

Uses veth for an OVS interface or not. Support kernels with limited namespace support (e.g. RHEL 6.5) and rate limiting on router’s gateway port so long as ovs_use_veth is set to True.

interface_driver

Type

string

Default

<None>

The driver used to manage the virtual interface.

rpc_response_max_timeout

Type

integer

Default

600

Maximum seconds to wait for a response from an RPC call.

resync_interval

Type

integer

Default

5

The DHCP agent will resync its state with Neutron to recover from any transient notification or RPC errors. The interval is maximum number of seconds between attempts. The resync can be done more often based on the events triggered.

resync_throttle

Type

integer

Default

1

Throttle the number of resync state events between the local DHCP state and Neutron to only once per ‘resync_throttle’ seconds. The value of throttle introduces a minimum interval between resync state events. Otherwise the resync may end up in a busy-loop. The value must be less than resync_interval.

dhcp_driver

Type

string

Default

neutron.agent.linux.dhcp.Dnsmasq

The driver used to manage the DHCP server.

enable_isolated_metadata

Type

boolean

Default

False

The DHCP server can assist with providing metadata support on isolated networks. Setting this value to True will cause the DHCP server to append specific host routes to the DHCP request. The metadata service will only be activated when the subnet does not contain any router port. The guest instance must be configured to request host routes via DHCP (Option 121). This option doesn’t have any effect when force_metadata is set to True.

force_metadata

Type

boolean

Default

False

In some cases the Neutron router is not present to provide the metadata IP but the DHCP server can be used to provide this info. Setting this value will force the DHCP server to append specific host routes to the DHCP request. If this option is set, then the metadata service will be activated for all the networks.

enable_metadata_network

Type

boolean

Default

False

Allows for serving metadata requests coming from a dedicated metadata access network whose CIDR is 169.254.169.254/16 (or larger prefix), and is connected to a Neutron router from which the VMs send metadata:1 request. In this case DHCP Option 121 will not be injected in VMs, as they will be able to reach 169.254.169.254 through a router. This option requires enable_isolated_metadata = True.

num_sync_threads

Type

integer

Default

4

Number of threads to use during sync process. Should not exceed connection pool size configured on server.

bulk_reload_interval

Type

integer

Default

0

Minimum Value

0

Time to sleep between reloading the DHCP allocations. This will only be invoked if the value is not 0. If a network has N updates in X seconds then we will reload once with the port changes in the X seconds and not N times.

dhcp_confs

Type

string

Default

$state_path/dhcp

Location to store DHCP server config files.

dnsmasq_config_file

dnsmasq_base_log_dir

Type

string

Base log dir for dnsmasq logging. The log contains DHCP and DNS log information and is useful for debugging issues with either DHCP or DNS. If this section is null, disable dnsmasq log.

dnsmasq_local_resolv

Type

boolean

Default

False

Enables the dnsmasq service to provide name resolution for instances via DNS resolvers on the host running the DHCP agent. Effectively removes the ‘–no-resolv’ option from the dnsmasq process arguments. Adding custom DNS resolvers to the ‘dnsmasq_dns_servers’ option disables this feature.

dnsmasq_lease_max

Type

integer

Default

16777216

Limit number of leases to prevent a denial-of-service.

dhcp_broadcast_reply

Type

boolean

Default

False

dhcp_renewal_time

Type

integer

Default

0

DHCP renewal time T1 (in seconds). If set to 0, it will default to half of the lease time.

dhcp_rebinding_time

Type

integer

Default

0

DHCP rebinding time T2 (in seconds). If set to 0, it will default to 7/8 of the lease time.

dnsmasq_enable_addr6_list

Type

boolean

Default

False

Enable dhcp-host entry with list of addresses when port has multiple IPv6 addresses in the same subnet.

debug

Type

boolean

Default

False

Mutable

This option can be changed without restarting.

If set to true, the logging level will be set to DEBUG instead of the default INFO level.

log_config_append

Type

string

Default

<None>

Mutable

This option can be changed without restarting.

The name of a logging configuration file. This file is appended to any existing logging configuration files. For details about logging configuration files, see the Python logging module documentation.
