Neutron tags Open vSwitch port with vlan ID 4095

This document (7017648) is provided subject to the disclaimer at the end of this document.

Environment

SUSE OpenStack Cloud 5

Situation

A new instance in SUSE OpenStack Cloud deployed with Open vSwitch
doesn't get an IP address due to DHCP port being tagged with vlan 4095.

Resolution

On control or network node, depending on which one the neutron barclamp
has been applied to, you can see the port that was tagged with vlan ID 4095.

1.) Find Open vSwitch port name


root@d52-54-00-63-29-7c:~ # ovs-vsctl show
[...]
        Port "tap894320e4-ea"
            tag: 4095
            Interface "tap894320e4-ea"
                type: internal
[...]



2.) Find Neutron port ID

root@d52-54-00-63-29-7c:~ # neutron port-list | grep 894320e4-ea
| 894320e4-ea03-4f22-a1a2-a983dab009de |      | fa:16:3e:87:ad:55 | {"subnet_id": "94177f4c-61e4-41a1-a3a9-d44dcdd0f52b", "ip_address": "192.168.123.4"}   |


root@d52-54-00-63-29-7c:~ # neutron port-show 894320e4-ea03-4f22-a1a2-a983dab009de

binding:vif_type has value "binding_failed".


3.) Delete the neutron port from the database

neutron port-delete 894320e4-ea03-4f22-a1a2-a983dab009de


4.) Delete the port from Open vSwitch:

ovs-vsctl del-port br-int tap894320e4-ea


5.) Restart Neutron agents

In cluster:

   crm resource restart g-neutron-agents

On non-clustered network nodes:

   rcopenstack-neutron-l3-agent restart 
   rcopenstack-neutron-lbaas-agent restart
   rcopenstack-neutron-dhcp-agent restart
   rcopenstack-neutron-metadata-agent restart
   rcopenstack-neutron-openvswitch-agent restart

On systemd Linux:

   systemctl restart openstack-neutron-l3-agent
   systemctl restart openstack-neutron-lbaas-agent
   systemctl restart openstack-neutron-dhcp-agent
   systemctl restart openstack-neutron-metadata-agent
   systemctl restart openstack-neutron-openvswitch-agent


And re-launch the instance.

Cause

Vlan tag 4095 is used by the openvswitch-agent to mark "dead" ports.
Neutron tags such port with ID 4095 in integrration bridge(br-int)
if that port cannot be mapped to a neutron port.
