Reference architecture

After establishing initial host management network connectivity using the bond0 interface, modify the /etc/network/interfaces file as described in the following procedure.

Procedure 4.1. Modifying the network interfaces file

  1. Physical interfaces:

    # Physical interface 1
    auto eth0
    iface eth0 inet manual
        bond-master bond0
        bond-primary eth0
    
    # Physical interface 2
    auto eth1
    iface eth1 inet manual
        bond-master bond1
        bond-primary eth1
    
    # Physical interface 3
    auto eth2
    iface eth2 inet manual
        bond-master bond0
    
    # Physical interface 4
    auto eth3
    iface eth3 inet manual
        bond-master bond1
    
  2. Bonding interfaces:

    # Bond interface 0 (physical interfaces 1 and 3)
    auto bond0
    iface bond0 inet static
        bond-slaves eth0 eth2
        bond-mode active-backup
        bond-miimon 100
        bond-downdelay 200
        bond-updelay 200
        address HOST_IP_ADDRESS
        netmask HOST_NETMASK
        gateway HOST_GATEWAY
        dns-nameservers HOST_DNS_SERVERS
    
    # Bond interface 1 (physical interfaces 2 and 4)
    auto bond1
    iface bond1 inet manual
        bond-slaves eth1 eth3
        bond-mode active-backup
        bond-miimon 100
        bond-downdelay 250
        bond-updelay 250
    

    If not already complete, replace HOST_IP_ADDRESS, HOST_NETMASK, HOST_GATEWAY, and HOST_DNS_SERVERS with the appropriate configuration for the host management network.

  3. Logical (VLAN) interfaces:

    # Container management VLAN interface
    iface bond0.CONTAINER_MGMT_VLAN_ID inet manual
        vlan-raw-device bond0
    
    # OpenStack Networking VXLAN (tunnel/overlay) VLAN interface
    iface bond1.TUNNEL_VLAN_ID inet manual
        vlan-raw-device bond1
    
    # Storage network VLAN interface (optional)
    iface bond0.STORAGE_VLAN_ID inet manual
        vlan-raw-device bond0
    

    Replace *_VLAN_ID with the appropriate configuration for the environment.

  4. Bridge devices:

    # Container management bridge
    auto br-mgmt
    iface br-mgmt inet static
        bridge_stp off
        bridge_waitport 0
        bridge_fd 0
        # Bridge port references tagged interface
        bridge_ports bond0.CONTAINER_MGMT_VLAN_ID
        address CONTAINER_MGMT_BRIDGE_IP_ADDRESS
        netmask CONTAINER_MGMT_BRIDGE_NETMASK
        dns-nameservers CONTAINER_MGMT_BRIDGE_DNS_SERVERS
    
    # OpenStack Networking VXLAN (tunnel/overlay) bridge
    auto br-vxlan
    iface br-vxlan inet static
        bridge_stp off
        bridge_waitport 0
        bridge_fd 0
        # Bridge port references tagged interface
        bridge_ports bond1.TUNNEL_VLAN_ID
        address TUNNEL_BRIDGE_IP_ADDRESS
        netmask TUNNEL_BRIDGE_NETMASK
    
    # OpenStack Networking VLAN bridge
    auto br-vlan
    iface br-vlan inet manual
        bridge_stp off
        bridge_waitport 0
        bridge_fd 0
        # Bridge port references untagged interface
        bridge_ports bond1
    
    # Storage bridge (optional)
    auto br-storage
    iface br-storage inet static
        bridge_stp off
        bridge_waitport 0
        bridge_fd 0
        # Bridge port reference tagged interface
        bridge_ports bond0.STORAGE_VLAN_ID
        address STORAGE_BRIDGE_IP_ADDRESS
        netmask STORAGE_BRIDGE_NETMASK
    

    Replace *_VLAN_ID, *_BRIDGE_IP_ADDRESS, and *_BRIDGE_NETMASK, *_BRIDGE_DNS_SERVERS with the appropriate configuration for the environment.
