This should be solved by loading br_netfilter kernel module in RHEL 7.3 before starting the agent.

--- Additional comment from Ihar Hrachyshka on 2016-10-06 11:32:50 EDT ---

Note: this is solved in OSP10 by the virtue of the patch: https://review.rdoproject.org/r/3114 that should arrive on next delorean sync into OSP.

Comment 2 GenadiC 2016-12-01 09:01:38 UTC

br_netfilter doesn't exist in the kernel.
It could be because we are using RHEL7.2 and the kernel doesn't have the specific module.
Compared to another system with RHEL7.3 and the module is there.
How do we proceed?

Comment 5 GenadiC 2016-12-11 08:13:12 UTC

1) Land an instance on the compute node
2) restart node
3) start the OVS/Linuxbridge agent with iptables firewall enabled
4) Check there are no traceback is in the logs
5) check that br_netfilter kernel module is loaded.
