If I understand correctly, all I need to do is to create a network (via dashboard or cli), to create two ports and to attach the ports to you VMs. After all this steps you will have situation like you two servers connected through a switch or by wire directly (which is the same). This is in general.

I don't know about your deployment scenario, but if you were using ansible I believe that there is basic network functionality already.

    What kind of cable? What protocol will be carried over it?

    Traffic between VMs on different hosts needs to be encapsulated by a
    protocol like GRE or VXLAN to carry it over the real network so that
    imposes some limitations on emulating a 'direct wire'.

    If you need to carry some other l2 protocol between two VMs, I
    suggest that you just establish and L2TP connection between the
    hypervisors.

            one of the reference ML2 drivers (i.e. OVS or LinuxBridge)
            will give you L2 ethernet connectivity via virtual switches.

            If you want two VMs connected via a direct connect that
            passes arbitrary frames directly without switching so you
            can use non-ethernet protocols, then I don't believe any of
            the plugins support a model like that.

                Hi,

                I have installed openstack using ansible on Ubuntu 16.04
                Server.
                I am able to successfully create VMs and launch
                instances however the requirement is to add one extra
                nic on both VMs(default is only once nic) so as the
                extra nics are connected as if they are physically
                connected via a wire i.e. L2 connectivity.

                Please let me know your suggestions.


                Thanks
                ​,
                Vivek​
