[Rdo-list] Neutron Problems

Hi Patrick,

Thanks for the info, it is slowly coming together for me, I hope. I do have
a few more question and I hope it will clear up more. First let me describe
my environment more. I am using foreman to manage the physical hosts, and
once openstack is running it will manage the VMs as well. So that is why I
have a DHCP address for the host, its a static lease from foreman.

My physical environment is in a blade center that has two switches in it.
One switch is for eth0 and the other is for eth1. For the controller host
(Everything but nova compute) the switch is configured for trunked vlan 111
(Management) and 110 (tenets) for both eth0 and eth1. For the compute
nodes, the switches are configured for vlan 111 only.

I am thinking on my controller host I need to configure the eth0.110
device, give it a static IP and connect it to the br-ex, does that sound
right?

I do also have some confusion about vxlan and how it is used. Is that only
in the "overlay" network? From what I understand it can have tens of
thousands of vlans, which the physical switches can not support. How does
the OS/physical network handle that?

Do you have to use a non-admin project to create the private network?

Thanks again for the feedback, I feel I am getting close to resolving this.
