Re: [openstack] how to configure quantum so that two private network can ping each other?

 

which OS do you use?

if you use RDO on RHEL, please refer to:

https://access.redhat.com/site/documentation//en-US/Red_Hat_OpenStack/3/html/Release_Notes/ch03.html

When the openvswitch quantum plugin is used, and Nova is configured with


libvirt_vif_driver = nova.virt.libvirt.vif.LibvirtHybridOVSBridgeDriver

the necessary forwarding rules are not created automatically and the Red
Hat Enterprise Linux firewall blocks forwarding of network traffic. Hence
traffic between VMs located on different compute nodes is blocked.
Workarounds to avoid blocking traffic between VMs located on different
compute nodes:

   1. If using nova security groups, add the following iptables rule on
   each compute node:

   #iptables -t filter -I FORWARD -i qbr+ -o qbr+ -j ACCEPT# service
iptables save

   Either reboot, or restart nova-compute after adding this rule, since the
   rules nova-compute adds at startup must precede this rule.
   2. If not using Nova security groups, an alternative solution is to set:


   libvirt_vif_driver =
nova.virt.libvirt.vif.LibvirtOpenVswitchVirtualPortDriver
