Hi , I have a two node setup with two nics: eth0 -- Intranet - br-ex eth1 -- Management - br-int Node1 acts as: Controller Network Storage Compute Node2 acts as: Compute I have followed the guidelines of using packstack with vlan and modifying /etc/neutron/plugins/openvswitch/ovs_neutron_plugin.ini to: [OVS] tenant_network_type=none enable_tunneling=False integration_bridge=br-int network_vlan_ranges = physnet1 bridge_mappings = physnet1:br-ex vxlan_udp_port=4789 - restart the neutron-server service - define a network/subnet neutron net-create vm-ext --shared --provider:network_type flat --provider:physical_network physnet1 neutron subnet-create --name vm-ext-intra --gateway 192.168.10.1 --dns-nameserver 192.168.10.0 --allocation-pool start=192.168.10.231,end=192.168.10.249 vm-ext 192.168.10.0/24 neutron subnet-update vm-ext-intra --enable_dhcp False - I can start a VM instance but I'm not able to access the VMs from my Intranet. - IP gets associated with the VM but the port status is alwaysdown Question: Is it possible to set the port status Up and if yes How? neutron port-show 824fc086-841d-48af-906b-ceeb3ea83510 +-----------------------+-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------+ | Field | Value | +-----------------------+-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------+ | admin_state_up | True | | allowed_address_pairs | | | binding:capabilities | {"port_filter": true} | | binding:host_id | rhc02 | | binding:vif_type | ovs | | device_id | 08ebc2b6-1500-4140-82e2-4acec52e4cac | | device_owner | compute:None | | extra_dhcp_opts | | | fixed_ips | {"subnet_id": "2f45cc95-05d8-4d8e-bb0a-e21884a9df2a", "ip_address": "192.168.10.231"} | | id | 824fc086-841d-48af-906b-ceeb3ea83510 | | mac_address | fa:16:3e:a2:a2:05 | | name | | | network_id | 2a981f3a-2df1-4d53-bfcb-4750902400ca | | security_groups | fa6850a7-cf87-447e-b83d-1f99b9eef94a | | status | DOWN | | tenant_id | c620b9e73cd24d52b1a0c4b9803d056f | +-----------------------+-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------+ Thanks in advance
