Netzwerk Architekturen

OpenStack-Ansible supports a number of different network architectures, and can be deployed using a single network interface for non-production workloads or using multiple network interfaces or bonded interfaces for production workloads.

The OpenStack-Ansible reference architecture segments traffic using VLANs across multiple network interfaces or bonds. Common networks used in an OpenStack-Ansible deployment can be observed in the following table:

Netzwerk

CIDR

VLAN

Verwaltungsnetzwerk

172.29.236.0/22

Overlay Netzwerk

172.29.240.0/22

172.29.244.0/22

The Management Network, also referred to as the container network, provides management of and communication between the infrastructure and OpenStack services running in containers or on metal. The management network uses a dedicated VLAN typically connected to the br-mgmt bridge, and may also be used as the primary interface used to interact with the server via SSH.

The Overlay Network, also referred to as the tunnel network, provides connectivity between hosts for the purpose of tunnelling encapsulated traffic using VXLAN, GENEVE, or other protocols. The overlay network uses a dedicated VLAN typically connected to the br-vxlan bridge.

The Storage Network provides segregated access to Block Storage from OpenStack services such as Cinder and Glance. The storage network uses a dedicated VLAN typically connected to the br-storage bridge.

Bemerkung

The CIDRs and VLANs listed for each network are examples and may be different in your environment.

Additional VLANs may be required for the following purposes:

  • External provider networks for Floating IPs and instances

  • Self-service project/tenant networks for instances

  • Andere OpenStack-Dienste

Netzwerk Schnittstellen

Configuring network interfaces

OpenStack-Ansible does not mandate any specific method of configuring network interfaces on the host. You may choose any tool, such as ifupdown, netplan, systemd-networkd, networkmanager or another operating-system specific tool. The only requirement is that a set of functioning network bridges and interfaces are created which match those expected by OpenStack-Ansible, plus any that you choose to specify for neutron physical interfaces.

A selection of network configuration example files are given in the etc/network and etc/netplan for ubuntu systems, and it is expected that these will need adjustment for the specific requirements of each deployment.

Single interface or bond

OpenStack-Ansible supports the use of a single interface or set of bonded interfaces that carry traffic for OpenStack services as well as instances.

The following diagram demonstrates hosts using a single interface:

Network Interface Layout - Single Interface

The following diagram demonstrates hosts using a single bond:

Network Interface Layout - Single Bond

Each host will require the correct network bridges to be implemented. The following is the /etc/network/interfaces file for infra1 using a single bond.

Bemerkung

Wenn Ihre Umgebung nicht eth0, sondern p1p1 oder einen anderen Namen hat, stellen Sie sicher, dass alle Verweise auf eth0 in allen Konfigurationsdateien durch den entsprechenden Namen ersetzt werden. Gleiches gilt für zusätzliche Netzwerkschnittstellen.
