Make sure to always deploy +SDN VPN and ODL together.

Instances created in subnets that are connected to +the public network via a gateway should have external connectivity. This does +not work and can be worked around by assigning a Floating IP to the instance [1]. + +Workarounds +----------- + +The router/network association mutual exclusivity is worked around +by not network associating subnets attached to routers. + +The NAT issues are worked around by assigning floating IPs to VMs that require +external connectivity. + +Test results +============ + +The deployment scenarios have successfully deployed in OPNFV CI many +times and all Functest tests (general and feature specific) are +passing. + +References +========== +[0] https://jira.opnfv.org/projects/SDNVPN/issues/SDNVPN-94 +[1] https://jira.opnfv.org/projects/SDNVPN/issues/SDNVPN-99 |
