router¶

A router is a logical component that forwards data packets between networks. It also provides Layer 3 and NAT forwarding to provide external network access for servers on project networks.

Network v2

router add port¶

Add a port to a router

openstack router add port <router> <port>

router¶: Router to which port will be added (name or ID)

port¶: Port to be added (name or ID)

router add route¶

Add extra static routes to a router’s routing table.

openstack router add route

    <router>

--route destination=<subnet>,gateway=<ip-address>¶: Add extra static route to the router. destination: destination subnet (in CIDR notation), gateway: nexthop IP address.

router remove port¶

Remove a port from a router

openstack router remove port <router> <port>

openstack router remove route
    [--route destination=<subnet>,gateway=<ip-address>]
    <router>

--route destination=<subnet>,gateway=<ip-address>¶: Remove extra static route from the router. destination: destination subnet (in CIDR notation), gateway: nexthop IP address. Repeat option to remove multiple routes. Trying to remove a route that’s already missing (fully, including destination and nexthop) from the routing table is allowed and is considered a successful operation.

--route destination=<subnet>,gateway=<ip-address>¶: Add routes to the router destination: destination subnet (in CIDR notation) gateway: nexthop IP address (repeat option to add multiple routes). This is deprecated in favor of ‘router add/remove route’ since it is prone to race conditions between concurrent clients when not used together with –no-route to overwrite the current value of ‘routes’.

--no-route¶: Clear routes associated with the router. Specify both –route and –no-route to overwrite current value of routes.

--ha¶: Set the router as highly available (disabled router only)

--no-ha¶: Clear high availability attribute of the router (disabled router only)

--qos-policy <qos-policy>¶: Attach QoS policy to router gateway IPs

--no-qos-policy¶: Remove QoS policy from router gateway IPs

--tag <tag>¶: Tag to be added to the router (repeat option to set multiple tags)

--no-tag¶: Clear tags associated with the router. Specify both –tag and –no-tag to overwrite current tags
