Big Switch - Have ML2 driver bind IVS VIF type
|
||||||
|
==============================================
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
https://blueprints.launchpad.net/neutron/+spec/bsn-ml2-bind-ivs
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
The Big Switch ML2 driver needs to be responsible for binding the IVS VIF type
|
||||||
|
since there is no binding agent running for this virtual switch.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Problem description
|
||||||
|
===================
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Currently, the Big Switch ML2 driver is only responsible for configuring VLANs
|
||||||
|
in the fabric. It doesn't do anything with the vSwitch so it leaves the
|
||||||
|
responsibility of binding the ports to the OpenVSwitch driver. However, it
|
||||||
|
needs to support IVS switches as well, which will not have a binding driver
|
||||||
|
since they are directly controlled by the backend controller. Therefore, it
|
||||||
|
will need to be responisble for responding to the bind_port calls for hosts
|
||||||
|
with the IVS switches and mark them as bound.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Proposed change
|
||||||
|
===============
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
At the port binding method to the Big Switch ML2 driver and have it respond
|
||||||
|
to port binding calls for IVS ports.
