Networking

Networking¶

To use the information in this section, you should have a general understanding of OpenStack Networking, OpenStack Compute, and the integration between the two. You should also have access to a plug-in that implements the Networking API v2.0.

Set environment variables¶

Make sure that you set the relevant environment variables.

As an example, see the sample shell file that sets these variables to get credentials:

export OS_USERNAME="admin"
export OS_PASSWORD="password"
export OS_TENANT_NAME="admin"
export OS_AUTH_URL="http://IPADDRESS/v2.0"

Get credentials¶

The examples in this section use the get_credentials method:

def get_credentials():
    d = {}
    d['username'] = os.environ['OS_USERNAME']
    d['password'] = os.environ['OS_PASSWORD']
    d['auth_url'] = os.environ['OS_AUTH_URL']
    d['tenant_name'] = os.environ['OS_TENANT_NAME']
    return d

This code resides in the credentials.py file, which all samples import.

Use the get_credentials() method to populate and get a dictionary:

credentials = get_credentials()

Get Nova credentials¶

The examples in this section use the get_nova_credentials method:

def get_nova_credentials():
    d = {}
    d['username'] = os.environ['OS_USERNAME']
    d['api_key'] = os.environ['OS_PASSWORD']
    d['auth_url'] = os.environ['OS_AUTH_URL']
    d['project_id'] = os.environ['OS_TENANT_NAME']
    return d

This code resides in the credentials.py file, which all samples import.

Use the get_nova_credentials() method to populate and get a dictionary:

nova_credentials = get_nova_credentials()

Print values¶

The examples in this section use the print_values and print_values_server methods:

def print_values(val, type):
    if type == 'ports':
        val_list = val['ports']
    if type == 'networks':
        val_list = val['networks']
    if type == 'routers':
        val_list = val['routers']
    for p in val_list:
        for k, v in p.items():
            print("%s : %s" % (k, v))
        print('\n')


def print_values_server(val, server_id, type):
    if type == 'ports':
        val_list = val['ports']

    if type == 'networks':
        val_list = val['networks']
    for p in val_list:
        bool = False
        for k, v in p.items():
            if k == 'device_id' and v == server_id:
                bool = True
        if bool:
            for k, v in p.items():
                print("%s : %s" % (k, v))
            print('\n')

This code resides in the utils.py file, which all samples import.

Create network¶

The following program creates a network:

#!/usr/bin/env python
from neutronclient.v2_0 import client
from credentials import get_credentials

network_name = 'sample_network'
credentials = get_credentials()
neutron = client.Client(**credentials)
try:
    body_sample = {'network': {'name': network_name,
                   'admin_state_up': True}}

    netw = neutron.create_network(body=body_sample)
    net_dict = netw['network']
    network_id = net_dict['id']
    print('Network %s created' % network_id)

    body_create_subnet = {'subnets': [{'cidr': '192.168.199.0/24',
                          'ip_version': 4, 'network_id': network_id}]}

    subnet = neutron.create_subnet(body=body_create_subnet)
    print('Created subnet %s' % subnet)
finally:

The following program creates a port:

#!/usr/bin/env python
from neutronclient.v2_0 import client
import novaclient.v1_1.client as nvclient
from credentials import get_credentials
from credentials import get_nova_credentials

credentials = get_nova_credentials()

network_id = 'ce5d204a-93f5-43ef-bd89-3ab99ad09a9a'
server_detail = nova_client.servers.get(server_id)
print(server_detail.id)

if server_detail != None:
    credentials = get_credentials()
    neutron = client.Client(**credentials)

    body_value = {
                     "port": {
                             "admin_state_up": True,
                             "device_id": server_id,
                             "name": "port1",
                             "network_id": network_id
                      }
                 }
    response = neutron.create_port(body=body_value)
    print(response)

credentials = get_credentials()
neutron = client.Client(**credentials)
ports = neutron.list_ports()
print_values(ports, 'ports')

The following program lists the ports for a server:

#!/usr/bin/env python
from neutronclient.v2_0 import client
import novaclient.v1_1.client as nvclient
from credentials import get_credentials
from credentials import get_nova_credentials
from utils import print_values_server
