Configuring Neutron on network Node

“Everyone has been made for some particular work, and the desire for that work has been put in every heart.”
–Rumi

Step One: Install NTP and add necessary repositories:

[root@neutron ~]#  yum -y install ntp
 Loaded plugins: fastestmirror
 Loading mirror speeds from cached hostfile
 base: centos.mirror.liquidtelecom.com
 extras: centos.mirror.liquidtelecom.com
 updates: centos.mirror.liquidtelecom.com

 --> Running transaction check 

[root@neutron ~]# vim /etc/ntp.conf
# server 0.centos.pool.ntp.org iburst
# server 1.centos.pool.ntp.org iburst
# server 2.centos.pool.ntp.org iburst
# server 3.centos.pool.ntp.org iburst
# Add your own server pools
 server 0.africa.pool.ntp.org
 server 1.africa.pool.ntp.org
 server 2.africa.pool.ntp.org
 server 3.africa.pool.ntp.org

[root@neutron ~]#  systemctl start ntpd 
[root@neutron ~]#  systemctl enable ntpd 
Created symlink from /etc/systemd/system/multi-user.target.wants/ntpd.service to /usr/lib/systemd/system/ntpd.service.
[root@neutron ~]# firewall-cmd --add-service=ntp --permanent 
 success
[root@neutron ~]# firewall-cmd --reload 
 success

Add epel and other repositories

[root@neutron ~]# yum -y install epel-release.noarch 
[root@neutron ~]# yum -y install centos-release-openstack-queens
 Downloading packages:
 (1/5): centos-release-qemu-ev-1.0-4.el7.centos.noarch.rpm                                 |  11 kB  00:00:00     
 (2/5): centos-release-ceph-luminous-1.1-2.el7.centos.noarch.rpm                           | 4.4 kB  00:00:00     
 (3/5): centos-release-virt-common-1-1.el7.centos.noarch.rpm                               | 4.5 kB  00:00:00     
 (4/5): centos-release-storage-common-2-2.el7.centos.noarch.rpm                            | 5.1 kB  00:00:00     
 (5/5): centos-release-openstack-queens-1-2.el7.centos.noarch.rpm                          | 5.3 kB  00:00:01 
 [root@neutron ~]# sed -i -e "s/enabled=1/enabled=0/g" /etc/yum.repos.d/CentOS-OpenStack-queens.repo

Step Two: Install neutron and everything it needs e.g openvswitch etc

[tech@neutron ~]$ yum --enablerepo=centos-openstack-queens,epel -y install openstack-neutron openstack-neutron-ml2 openstack-neutron-openvswitch
 Loaded plugins: fastestmirror
 Loading mirror speeds from cached hostfile
 base: centos.mirror.liquidtelecom.com
 centos-qemu-ev: centos.mirror.liquidtelecom.com
 epel: mirror.bytemark.co.uk
 extras: centos.mirror.liquidtelecom.com
 updates: centos.mirror.liquidtelecom.com
 centos-ceph-luminous                                                                      | 2.9 kB  00:00:00     
 centos-openstack-queens                                                                   | 2.9 kB  00:00:00     
 centos-qemu-ev                                                                            | 2.9 kB  00:00:00     
 (1/3): centos-qemu-ev/7/x86_64/primary_db                                                 |  58 kB  00:00:00     
 (2/3): centos-ceph-luminous/7/x86_64/primary_db                                           | 142 kB  00:00:02     
 (3/3): centos-openstack-queens/7/x86_64/primary_db                                        | 1.1 MB  00:00:23     
 Resolving Dependencies 

Step Three: Back up the original neutron config file and create a new one with the following configs

[root@neutron ~]# mv /etc/neutron/neutron.conf /etc/neutron/neutron.conf.bak 
[root@neutron ~]# vim /etc/neutron/neutron.conf
# create new file
 [DEFAULT]
 core_plugin = ml2
 service_plugins = router
 auth_strategy = keystone
 state_path = /var/lib/neutron
 allow_overlapping_ips = True
# RabbitMQ connection info
 transport_url = rabbit://openstack:password@192.168.122.130
# Keystone auth info
 [keystone_authtoken]
 www_authenticate_uri = http://192.168.122.130:5000
 auth_url = http://192.168.122.130:5000
 memcached_servers = 192.168.122.130:11211
 auth_type = password
 project_domain_name = default
 user_domain_name = default
 project_name = service
 username = neutron
 password = neutron123
 [oslo_concurrency]
 lock_path = $state_path/lock

Step Four: Head over to the following files and edit as well as shown below

[root@neutron ~]# vim /etc/neutron/dhcp_agent.ini
# on line 17: add this
 interface_driver = openvswitch
# on line 28: uncomment it as shown
 dhcp_driver = neutron.agent.linux.dhcp.Dnsmasq
# on line 37: uncomment and change to look like below
 enable_isolated_metadata = true

[root@neutron ~]# vim /etc/neutron/metadata_agent.ini
# on line 22: uncomment and specify Nova API server
 nova_metadata_host = 192.168.122.130
# on line 34: uncomment and specify any secret key you like
 metadata_proxy_shared_secret = metadata_secret
# on line 260: uncomment and specify Memcache server
 memcache_servers = 192.168.122.130:11211

[root@neutron ~]# vim /etc/neutron/plugins/ml2/ml2_conf.ini
# on line 129: add the following
 [ml2]
 type_drivers = flat,vlan,gre,vxlan
 tenant_network_types =
 mechanism_drivers = openvswitch,l2population
 extension_drivers = port_security

[root@neutron ~]# vim /etc/neutron/plugins/ml2/openvswitch_agent.ini
 on line 308: add as follows
 [securitygroup]
 firewall_driver = openvswitch
 enable_security_group = true
 enable_ipset = true

It is now time to start and enable Neutron services.. Whoa

[root@neutron ~]#  ln -s /etc/neutron/plugins/ml2/ml2_conf.ini /etc/neutron/plugin.ini

[root@neutron ~]# systemctl start openvswitch
[root@neutron ~]# systemctl enable openvswitch
 Created symlink from /etc/systemd/system/multi-user.target.wants/openvswitch.service to /usr/lib/systemd/system/openvswitch.service.

[root@neutron ~]# ovs-vsctl add-br br-int
[root@neutron ~]# for service in dhcp-agent l3-agent metadata-agent openvswitch-agent; do
 systemctl start neutron-$service
 systemctl enable neutron-$service
 done 
 Created symlink from /etc/systemd/system/multi-user.target.wants/neutron-dhcp-agent.service to /usr/lib/systemd/system/neutron-dhcp-agent.service.
