Red Hat Product Errata RHBA-2014:0046 0 normal SHIPPED_LIVE Red Hat Enterprise Linux OpenStack Platform 4 Bug Fix and Enhancement Advisory 2014-01-23 00:51:59 UTC

Description jliberma@redhat.com 2013-12-19 16:47:19 UTC
Description of problem:
If bridge_name parameter is set to NULL, external_network_bridge value is set to br-ex in /etc/neutron/l3_agent.ini at each puppet update. This value should be parameterized or default to blank.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):


How reproducible:

Every time


Steps to Reproduce:
1. Set bridge_name parameter to blank in neutron network storage group
2. Add a host to neutron network host group
3. Run puppet agent -tv
4. Check external_network_bridge value in /etc/neutron/l3_agent.ini

Actual results:
value set to br-ex

Expected results:
value not set

Comment 2 Omri Hochman 2013-12-24 14:56:09 UTC
I'm trying to verify with :openstack-foreman-installer-1.0.0-1.el6ost.noarch

I've changed the parameter bridge_name in neutron-controller host group from :
bridge_interface=eth --> bridge_interface= <Blank> 


After deployment looking at : 
vi  /etc/neutron/l3_agent.ini

Shows:
# external_network_bridge = br-ex

(the value is comment-out with '#') 

I'm not sure if this bug should be verified or reassigned.

Comment 3 Omri Hochman 2013-12-24 15:10:19 UTC
After discussion with ajeain we realized the parameter should not remain with it's default value and should be changed. 

from :
# external_network_bridge = br-ex
to:
external_network_bridge =

Crag, is that right?

Comment 5 Crag Wolfe 2014-01-02 17:44:49 UTC
Whatever is set as external_network_bridge blank in the Neutron Networker Host Group param page will populate external_network_bridge in /etc/neutron/l3_agent.ini .  Leave this as blank to set it as blank in the .ini file (meaning use a provider network), or set it to br-ex if that is desired.

NOTE: Please test with openstack-foreman-installer-1.0.1-1.el6ost.noarch.rpm, different results will occur with an earlier version.
