Overview
This document describes how to install the virtual converged framework (VCF) Neutron plug-ins that
are compatible with OpenStack on SUSE.
VCF 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.
VCF Neutron plug-ins are developed for VCF controller based on the OpenStack framework. VCF
Neutron plug-ins can obtain network configuration from OpenStack through REST APIs and
synchronize the configuration to the VCF controllers. They can obtain settings for the tenants'
networks, subnets, routers, ports, FW, LB, or VPN. Different types of VCF Neutron plug-ins can
provide the following features for tenants:
•VCF Neutron Core plug-in—Allows tenants to use basic network communication for cores,
including networks, subnets, routers, and ports.
•VCF Neutron L3_Routing—Allows tenants to forward traffic to each other at Layer 3.
•VCF Neutron FWaaS plug-in—Allows tenants to create firewall services.
•VCF Neutron LBaaS plug-in—Allows tenants to create LB services.
•VCF Neutron VPNaaS plug-in—Allows tenants to create VPN services.

Preparing for installation
Hardware requirements
To install VCF Neutron plug-ins on a server or a virtual machine, make sure the server or virtual
machine meets the hardware requirements in Table 1.
Table 1 Hardware requirements
CPU Memory size Disk space
Single-core and multicore
CPUs 2 GB and above 5 GB and above
Software requirements
Table 2 shows the software requirements for installing the VCF Neutron plug-ins.
Table 2 Software requirements
Item Supported version
OpenStack OpenStack Juno 2014.2 operates on SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 11
SP3 (x86_64)
IMPORTANT:
Before you install the Neutron plug-ins, make sure the following requirements are met:
•Your system has Internet access because the system must first access the Internet to set up the
installation environment.
•Make sure the OpenStack environment is deployed correctly. For example, the /etc/hosts file on
all nodes has the host name-IP address mappings. For information about the OpenStack
environment deployment, see the installation guide for the specific OpenStack version on the
official website.

Installing OpenStack plug-ins
Install the VCF Neutron plug-ins on an OpenStack control node. Before installation, you need to
install the Python tools on the associated node.
Installing the Python tools
Before you install the plug-ins, first download the Python tools online and install them.
[root@localhost ~]# zypper install –y python-pip python-setuptools
Installing the VCF Neutron plug-ins
Prerequisites
The VCF Neutron plug-ins are included in the VCF OpenStack package. Perform the following steps
to download the VCF OpenStack package from the H3C website:
1. In the Web browser address bar, enter http://www.h3c.com/cn/Software_Download. Select
SDN > H3C Virtual Converged Framework Controller, and download the VCF OpenStack
package of the required version.
2. Copy the VCF OpenStack package to the installation directory on the server or virtual machine,
or upload it to the installation directory through FTP, TFTP, or SCP.
NOTE:
If you decide to upload the VCF OpenStack package through FTP or TFTP, use the binary mode to
avoid damage to the package.
Installation procedure
Some parameters must be configured with the required values as described in "Parameters and
fields."
To install the VCF Neutron plug-ins:
1. Change the working directory to where the VCF OpenStack package (an .egg file) is saved, and
install the package on the OpenStack control node. The name of the VCF OpenStack package
is VCF_CONTROLLER_PLUGIN-version1_version2-py2.7. version1 represents the version of
the package and version2 represents the version of OpenStack.
In the following example, the VCF OpenStack package is saved to the path /root.
[root@localhost ~]# easy_install --no-deps

IMPORTANT:
For successful installation, you must specify the --no-deps option in the easy_install command
to ignore the software dependencies.
2. Install the VCF Neutron plug-ins.
[root@localhost ~]# h3c-vcfplugin controller install
3. Use the vi editor to open the neutron.conf configuration file.
[root@localhost ~]# vi /etc/neutron/neutron.conf
4. Press Ito switch to the insert mode, and set the parameters in the neutron.conf configuration
file. For information about the parameters, see "neutron.conf."
