Overview
This document describes how to install OpenStack plug-ins for interoperability with OpenStack cloud
platforms. Then SeerEngine-DC can process requests from the OpenStack cloud platforms.
OpenStack plug-ins include SeerEngine-DC Neutron plug-ins, Nova patch, openvswitch-agent patch,
and DHCP failover components.
SeerEngine-DC Neutron plug-ins
Neutron is a type of OpenStack services used to manage all virtual networking infrastructures (VNIs)
in an OpenStack environment. It provides virtual network services to the devices managed by
OpenStack computing services.
SeerEngine-DC Neutron plug-ins are developed for the SeerEngine-DC controller based on the
OpenStack framework.
The SeerEngine-DC Neutron plug-ins allow deployment of the network configuration obtained from
OpenStack through REST APIs on the SeerEngine-DC controller, including tenants' networks,
subnets, routers, and ports.
CAUTION:
To avoid service interruptions, do not modify the settings issued by the cloud platform on the
controller, such as the virtual link layer network, vRouter, and vSubnet settings after the plug-ins
connect to the OpenStack cloud platform.
SeerEngine-DC Neutron security plug-ins
SeerEngine-DC Neutron security plug-ins are developed for the SeerEngine-DC controller based on
the OpenStack framework. SeerEngine-DC Neutron security plug-ins can obtain security
configuration from OpenStack through REST APIs and synchronize the configuration to the
SeerEngine-DC controllers. They can obtain settings for the tenants' FW, LB, or VPN.
