The networking-generic-switch ML2 mechanism driver in Neutron
implements the features required for multitenancy support
on the Ironic bare metal nodes. This driver requires the corresponding
configuration of the Neutron server service.
To enable the networking-generic-switch driver:
Log in to the Salt Master node.
Open the cluster level of your deployment model.
In openstack/control.yml, add pillars for networking-generic-switch
using the example below:
parameters:
...
neutron:
server:
backend:
mechanism:
ngs:
driver: genericswitch
n_g_s:
enabled: true
coordination: # optional
enabled: true
backend_url: "etcd3+http://1.2.3.4:2379"

options:
device_type:
value: netmiko_ovs_linux
ip:
value: 1.2.3.4
username:
value: ngs_ovs_manager
password:
value: password
Apply the new configuration for the Neutron server:
salt -C 'I@neutron:server' saltutil.refresh_pillar
salt -C 'I@neutron:server' state.apply neutron.server
