Hello,
In a project in our OpenStack environment we have lot of VM's and there are couple of virtual routers also. From Horizon looking at the Network topology I can identify the ID of the router to which the VM I am trouble shooting is attached. But I want to do it from command line. Guys what is the easiest method to do this??
Note that a VM can be connected to more than one network, and a network can be connected to more than one router. Ergo, a VM can be connected to numerous routers.
Step 1: The command openstack server show tells you the network(s) to which the instance is connected. See the field addresses.
Step 2: The command openstack router show tells you the network(s) to which a router is connected. Alternatively, you should be able to add network information to the openstack router list command, using the -c option, but I currently don't know exactly what is the correct column name.
Another option for step 2 is openstack port list. You can add device_owner and device_id to the columns. Device-owner tells you which ports are owned by a router, and device_id tells you which router that is. The networks that ports are connected to are also displayed.
Step 1 gave the list of the networks to which the instance is connected, and step 2 the list of the routers including their networks. You need to combine the two.
I would agree that it is easier to use a network diagram. A great illustration of "a picture says more than a thousand words".
The problem is in step two it is difficult to find the correct router ID for openstack router show because I have plenty of routers in the project I am troubleshooting. I dont want to do openstack router show on all routers one by one to see the correct router.
