Neutron networking for compute node(s).
Hello,
Let's assume that I have the following setup for my test OpenStack:
- 10.0.0.0/24 - Public Network (used for floating IPs) Gateway is 10.0.0.1
- 192.168.0.0/24 - Management Network (and everything else really) Gateway is 192.168.0.1
Now I currently have two nodes as such:
Controller Node
- eth0: 192.168.0.40
- eth1 (br-ex): 10.0.0.40
Compute Node:
- eth0: 192.168.0.41
- eth1: ??
My question to you is, do I need to configure eth1 on the Compute Node as a bridge similar to br-ex on the Controller Node? Do I even need the Compute Node to be connected to the Public Network or can it pass the networking traffic over the Management Network? What is the best practice here as I cannot seem to wrap my head around this? The goal here is to begin to segregate the network traffic for performance and security reasons. Any advice?
