Hi,
I'm looking for an external Layer2 Device integration within the OpenStack. This Layer2 device can have only 2 physical cable 1 for input and 1 for output to enable a network interception and then blocking the traffic based on the analysis. The whole of the OpenStack setup is comprised of 3 VMs itself. Controller + Compute1 + Network. so far the instances are able to do what I'm looking for but without network interception by my physical board. Here is the pic. VM --> Layer2 Device --> VM2 +VM3 This Layer2 device has to be physically connected which I have achieved by exposing the two port net work card to compute node and then adding it a new bridge so that the traffic should pass through it solely. PS. I can't assign IP addresses to my Layer2 Device's network ports. its a dumb device. Any idea how I can create a new bridge and then embed the external device on it . OR Is it possible to send the Layer2 over IP to a Cisco Switch's 2 ports so that I can send and recieve data from there in a mode which should enable network blocking by an external device. PS. I can't assign IP addresses to my Layer2 Device's network ports. its a dumb device. Regards, -- Nasir Mahmood
