Enable BGP VPN

TechPreview

Note

Consider this section as part of Deploy an OpenStack cluster.

The BGP VPN service is an extra OpenStack Neutron plugin that enables connection of OpenStack Virtual Private Networks with external VPN sites through either BGP/MPLS IP VPNs or E-VPN.

To enable the BGP VPN service:

Enable BGP VPN in the OsDpl custom resource through the node specific overrides settings. For example:

spec:
  features:
    neutron:
      bgpvpn:
        enabled: true
         route_reflector:
           # Enable deploygin FRR route reflector
           enabled: true
           # Local AS number
           as_number: 64512
           # List of subnets we allow to connect to
           # router reflector BGP
           neighbor_subnets:
             - 10.0.0.0/8
             - 172.16.0.0/16
  nodes:
    openstack-compute-node::enabled:
      features:
        neutron:
          bgpvpn:
            enabled: true

When the service is enabled, a route reflector is scheduled on nodes with the openstack-frrouting: enabled label. Mirantis recommends collocating the route reflector nodes with the OpenStack controller nodes. By default, two replicas are deployed.
