Re: [Openstack :: Folsom] Quantum DHCP Agent in Compute HOST

 

Hi,
In fact, we can split Quantum network Node into two categories:
one is for dhcp, which install ovs agent and dhcp agent. We can have one such kind of node one is for l3 agent, we can deal with one external network on one l3 agent. We can have many nodes of this kind.

Hi Salvatore,
Just want to understand more on Network Node in the below given app_demo page. As i see in the setup, it looks like there will be one Quantum Network Node for one Data centre setup. Please correct me if my assumptions are wrong. This Quantum Network Node will have all the virtual routers, gateway which can be created with quantum-l3-agent plugin. Also my assumption is that this quantum Network Node will serve all the Tenant virtual gateways and routers created using quantum.
Please give us some more information on this to understand the setup.
Also do we have any specific reason for having quantum Network Node instead of keeping these plugin on the Controller Node similar to earlier release like Essex.
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Balaji

    Hi Trinath,

    Even if is perfectly reasonable to run the DHCP/L3 agents in the
    controller node, the advice we give in the administration guide is
    slightly different.
    As suggested in [1], the only Quantum component running on the
    controller node should be the API server.
    The DHCP and L3 agents might run in a dedicated "network node".
    Please note you will need also the L2 agent running on that node.

        Hi Stackers-

        I have found many installation and configuration manuals for
        Openstack Folsom which state the installation and
        configuration of Quantum-DHCP-Agent in the Controller machine.

        But I have doubt here,

        Can't we have the Quantum-DHCP/L3-Agent to be running in the
        Compute NODE rather than in the controller.

        How does the Installation and configuration change with this
        type of Installation?

        Please guide me on How to achieve the same.

        Thanking you
