Applied M. Camp's comments on patchset 4. Also, some additional formatting changes such as tidying line ends <= 79 characters, reformatting very wide ascii table as list table to control line widths, etc. Resolved conflict in _includes/data-networks-overview.rest Change-Id: I8a2a80f21d3630849900e85dc2495da1668648af Signed-off-by: Ron Stone <ronald.stone@windriver.com> Signed-off-by: Stone <ronald.stone@windriver.com>

Static VXLAN
|
|
============
|
|
|
|
The static unicast mode relies on the mapping of neutron ports to worker nodes
|
|
to receive the packet in order to reach the VM.
|
|
|
|
In this mode there is no multicast addressing or multicast packets sent from
|
|
the worker nodes, neither is there any learning. In contrast to the dynamic
|
|
VXLAN mode, any packets destined to unknown MAC addresses are dropped. To
|
|
ensure that there are no unknown endpoints the system examines the neutron
|
|
port DB and gathers the list of mappings between port MAC/IP addresses and the
|
|
hostname on which they reside. This information is then propagated throughout
|
|
the system to pre-provision endpoint entries into all vSwitch instances. This
|
|
ensures that each vSwitch knows how to reach all VM instances that are related
|
|
to any local VM instances.
|
|
|
|
Static VXLAN is limited to use on one data network. If configured, it must be
|
|
enabled on all OpenStack worker nodes.

`Static Endpoint Distribution`
|
|
|
|
.. note::
|
|
In the static mode there is no dynamic endpoint learning. This means that
|
|
if a node does not have an entry for some destination MAC address it will
|
|
not create an entry even if it receives a packet from that device.

Workflow to Configure Static VXLAN Data Networks
|
|
------------------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
Use the following workflow to create static VXLAN data networks and add
|
|
segmentation ranges using the CLI.

#. Create a VXLAN data network, see :ref:`Adding Data Networks Using the CLI

|

|
#. Add segmentation ranges to static VXLAN data networks, see :ref:`Adding
|
