Dear list,

I'm trying set up an isolated network for testing clustermanagers like keepalived on linux and carp on openbsd. This means there are ips which are bound to multiple ports. The main problem is when I try to configure new ip-addresses inside the vms and _not_ in neutron, these ips are not visible by the other vms. When I try to ping this ips I can see an local arp request inside the bridge of the requesting vm but this request does not reach the bridge of the destination vm. So my assumption is neutron in particular the l2population works only for ip addresses which are known by neutron ports. So in case of disabling dhcp I have to configure it for the neutron port and inside the vm, right?

My setup is a 4-node openstack environment (one controller, three compute nodes), using liberty on centos7 carefully following the instructions under http://docs.openstack.org/liberty/install-guide-rdo/.

I'm using self-service networks with one flat provider-network for
external communication. I use VXLAN for overlay-networks. As mechanism drivers I use linuxbridge and l2population.

The isolated network and the vms are initiated by heat templates. I disabled port security for each neutron port by setting 'port_security_enabled: false' inside the heat template.

So what can I do, that a neutron isolated network behaves like a standard linuxbridge or especially a hardware switch, where no port security is configured and which forwards all kind of arp traffic?

Thanks in advance,

Joerg
