Hi,

Im following this guide 1.) to set up Red Hat RDO packstack openstack with an existing network. It says to use the current ip of your eth0 interface for the br-ex device instead and remove it from eth0. But when I do this, I get weird connectivity issues where even a single ping to the default gateway fails 95% of the time, but not always: some pings come through alright. A simple network restart or reboot does not change anything.

The problem (temporarily) goes away (but returns later) when I use a previously unused ip in the same range for the br-ex device, but I wonder what the issue could be ? Could it be as simple as an arp cache entry somewhere (my internet cable modem ?) or something ?

Ive added the contents of ifcfg-br-ex and ifcfg-eth0, and the output of 'ovs-vsctl show'

Could you post ifcfg-br-ex and ifcfg-eth0. Also output ovs-vsctl show

You wrote :-

GATEWAY=192.168.178.1  # your gateway
DNS1=192.168.178.1     # your nameserver
Is 192.168.178.1 your real DNS Server ?

Yes 192.168.178.1 is functioning as the DNS server for the network.

Would try
# tcpdump -vv -i br-ex
during pinging gateway. Issue should be caught via (-vv)

Also, it only happens if I run 'packstack --allinone --provision-all-in-one-ovs-bridge=n' and manually edit the ifcfg files, and not if i omit the '--provision-all-in-one-ovs-bridge=n'' and just run 'packstack --allinone'. I guess thats because when you run packstack that way, it doenst attempt to modify your existing network ?

When I run packstack like that, I get this :

# ovs-vsctl show

Have you configured ifcfg-br-ex and end ifcfg-eth0 as follows, where 192.168.1.135 previous IP of eth0.
Disable NetworkManager and enable service network. Create files under /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts

[root@openstack network-scripts(keystone_admin)]# cat ifcfg-br-ex
DEVICE="br-ex"
BOOTPROTO="static"
IPADDR="192.168.1.135"
NETMASK="255.255.255.0"
DNS1="83.221.202.254"
BROADCAST="192.168.1.255"
GATEWAY="192.168.1.1"
NM_CONTROLLED="no"
DEFROUTE="yes"
IPV4_FAILURE_FATAL="yes"
IPV6INIT=no
ONBOOT="yes"
TYPE="OVSBridge"
DEVICETYPE="ovs"

In my particular case ifcfg-eth0 was responsible for active ethernet interface eth0.

[root@openstack network-scripts(keystone_admin)]# cat ifcfg-eth0
DEVICE="eth0"
# HWADDR=90:E6:BA:2D:11:EB
ONBOOT="yes"
TYPE="OVSPort"
DEVICETYPE="ovs"
OVS_BRIDGE=br-ex
NM_CONTROLLED=no
IPV6INIT=no

# service network restart
