Hi Salvatore-

Thanks a lot for the reply.

In the Setup diagram, I'm planning to make a 2 machine setup in my test
environment.

Where Can I have the Installation guideline for the Quantum L2 agent.

Have few doubts in the Quantum DHCP agent Source Code.

As I have gone through the source code, the DHCP agent runs as an RPC
daemon.

It places messages in the ampq.  I was confused with the following code in
/quantum/db/dhcp_rpc_base.py

in the method: def get_network_info()

        plugin = manager.QuantumManager.get_plugin()     <-------- To what
plugin its mapping to ? Is the appropriate plugin configured in the
configuration files.
        network = plugin.get_network(context, network_id)

How do the mapping to plugin made here?

Can you please help understand these...

Thanking you

Trinath
