=======================================================
Configuring the Networking service (neutron) (optional)
=======================================================
The OpenStack Networking service (neutron) includes the following services:
Firewall as a Service (FWaaS)
Provides a software-based firewall that filters traffic from the router.
Load Balancer as a Service (LBaaS)
Provides load balancers that direct traffic to OpenStack instances or other
servers outside the OpenStack deployment.
VPN as a Service (VPNaaS)
Provides a method for extending a private network across a public network.
Firewall service (optional)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The following procedure describes how to modify the
``/etc/openstack_deploy/user_variables.yml`` file to enable FWaaS.
#. Override the default list of neutron plugins to include
``firewall``:
.. code-block:: yaml
neutron_plugin_base:
- firewall
- ...
#. ``neutron_plugin_base`` is as follows:
.. code-block:: yaml
neutron_plugin_base:
- router
- firewall
- neutron_lbaas.services.loadbalancer.plugin.LoadBalancerPluginv2
- vpnaas
- metering
- qos
#. Execute the neutron install playbook in order to update the configuration:
.. code-block:: shell-session
# cd /opt/openstack-ansible/playbooks
# openstack-ansible os-neutron-install.yml
#. Execute the horizon install playbook to show the FWaaS panels:
.. code-block:: shell-session
# cd /opt/openstack-ansible/playbooks
# openstack-ansible os-horizon-install.yml
The FWaaS default configuration options may be changed through the
`conf override`_ mechanism using the ``neutron_neutron_conf_overrides``
dict.
Load balancing service (optional)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The `neutron-lbaas`_ plugin for neutron provides a software load balancer
service and can direct traffic to multiple servers. The service runs as an
agent and it manages `HAProxy`_ configuration files and daemons.
The Newton release contains only the LBaaS v2 API. For more details about
transitioning from LBaaS v1 to v2, review the :ref:`lbaas-special-notes`
section below.
Deployers can make changes to the LBaaS default configuration options via the
``neutron_lbaas_agent_ini_overrides`` dictionary. Review the documentation on
the `conf override`_ mechanism for more details.
.. _neutron-lbaas: https://wiki.openstack.org/wiki/Neutron/LBaaS
.. _HAProxy: http://www.haproxy.org/
Deploying LBaaS v2
------------------
#. Add the LBaaS v2 plugin to the ``neutron_plugin_base`` variable
in ``/etc/openstack_deploy/user_variables.yml``:
.. code-block:: yaml
neutron_plugin_base:
- router
- metering
- neutron_lbaas.services.loadbalancer.plugin.LoadBalancerPluginv2
Ensure that ``neutron_plugin_base`` includes all of the plugins that you
want to deploy with neutron in addition to the LBaaS plugin.
#. Run the neutron playbook to deploy and enable the LBaaS v2 agent:
.. code-block:: console
# cd /opt/openstack-ansible/playbooks
# openstack-ansible os-neutron-install.yml
#. Set ``horizon_enable_neutron_lbaas`` to ``True`` in
``/etc/openstack_deploy/user_variables.yml`` and run the horizon playbook to
enable the LBaaS v2 panels in horizon:
.. code-block:: console
# cd /opt/openstack-ansible/playbooks
# openstack-ansible os-horizon-install.yml
.. _lbaas-special-notes:
Special notes about LBaaS
-------------------------
**LBaaS v1 was deprecated in the Mitaka release and is not available in the
Newton release.**
LBaaS v1 and v2 agents are unable to run at the same time. If you switch
LBaaS v1 to v2, the v2 agent is the only agent running. The LBaaS v1 agent
stops along with any load balancers provisioned under the v1 agent.
Load balancers are not migrated between LBaaS v1 and v2 automatically. Each
implementation has different code paths and database tables. You need
to manually delete load balancers, pools, and members before switching LBaaS
versions. Recreate these objects afterwards.
Virtual private network service (optional)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The following procedure describes how to modify the
``/etc/openstack_deploy/user_variables.yml`` file to enable VPNaaS.
#. Override the default list of neutron plugins to include
``vpnaas``:
.. code-block:: yaml
neutron_plugin_base:
- router
- metering
#. ``neutron_plugin_base`` is as follows:
.. code-block:: yaml
neutron_plugin_base:
- router
- metering
- vpnaas
#. Override the default list of specific kernel modules
in order to include the necessary modules to run ipsec:
.. code-block:: yaml
openstack_host_specific_kernel_modules:
- { name: "ebtables", pattern: "CONFIG_BRIDGE_NF_EBTABLES=", group: "network_hosts" }
- { name: "af_key", pattern: "CONFIG_NET_KEY=", group: "network_hosts" }
- { name: "ah4", pattern: "CONFIG_INET_AH=", group: "network_hosts" }
- { name: "ipcomp", pattern: "CONFIG_INET_IPCOMP=", group: "network_hosts" }
#. Execute the openstack hosts setup in order to load the kernel modules at
boot and runtime in the network hosts
.. code-block:: shell-session
# openstack-ansible openstack-hosts-setup.yml --limit network_hosts\
--tags "openstack_hosts-config"
#. Execute the neutron install playbook in order to update the configuration:
.. code-block:: shell-session
# cd /opt/openstack-ansible/playbooks
# openstack-ansible os-neutron-install.yml
#. Execute the horizon install playbook to show the VPNaaS panels:
.. code-block:: shell-session
# cd /opt/openstack-ansible/playbooks
# openstack-ansible os-horizon-install.yml
The VPNaaS default configuration options are changed through the
`conf override`_ mechanism using the ``neutron_neutron_conf_overrides``
dict.
