In reference to: https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en/red-hat-enterprise-linux-openstack-platform/version-7/networking-guide/#sec-physical-switch I'd like to request a section be added to Section 8: "8. Configure physical switches for OpenStack Networking" to include configuration of Cumulus Linux switches. We would be happy to provide you with the content to drop-in provided we know the format. This would be beneficial with the recent POC announcement: https://cumulusnetworks.com/press_releases/detail/20160414-cumulus-networks-collaborates-with-dell-and-red-hat-to-simplify-300-node-openstack-pod/ Thanks very much! Regards, Andrius.
FYI: I've added project sponsors in the CC field if you'd like to get a better understanding of the project internally. Thanks!
Hi Andrius, You can post the steps here in plaintext or asciidoc, and I'll be happy to format them for the guide. Or if you prefer, you can email them directly to me: mlopes Cheers, Martin
Thanks very much Martin, I'm working with our guys internally - once we have the content I'll report back. Thanks very much!
Hi Martin, the OSP8 section of the doc has a pretty standard format for each NOS (trunk ports, access ports, LACP, MTU, LLDP). Is this the only information you want, or can we put other content in here?
Hi Pete, those selected configurations are what we considered to be the most typical requirements that would be common to the various vendor products. I think the SMEs are happy with the ones we have for now, but you can mention any suggestions here and I'll point the folks at them.
OK thanks, Martin. I'll check with the team here and see what they had in mind.
Hi Martin, is there any flexibility to some of the sections, given our approach to networking is a bit different than others? Thanks!
Hi Andrius, Sure, we can definitely be flexible here to accommodate your approach. We do aim for consistency in tone and formatting throughout a guide, but I'll be happy to do that editing myself, if needed.
Hi Martin, I just emailed you the steps for doing this with Cumulus Linux. Thanks again for your help here!
Thanks Pete, working on getting this added to the guide.
The Cumulus Linux steps are now in the Red Hat OpenStack v7 and v8 networking guides: OSP7 - https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en/red-hat-enterprise-linux-openstack-platform/version-7/networking-guide/#configure_a_cumulus_linux_switch OSP8 - https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en/red-hat-openstack-platform/version-8/networking-guide/#configure_a_cumulus_linux_switch
