Hi Shashi,

You can refer the below commands to setup flat network:

1. Please make sure the interface enp61s0f0 is connected to your lab network physically.

2. source /etc/platform/openrc

system host-lock controller-0

system datanetwork-add public flat

system datanetwork-add internal flat

system host-if-list -a controller-0

system host-if-modify -m 1500 -n data0 -d public  -c data controller-0 $UUID_enp61s0f0

system host-if-modify -m 1500 -n data1 -d internal  -c data controller-0 $UUID_enp61s0f1

system host-unlock controller-0

3. export OS_CLOUD=openstack_helm

neutron net-create --provider:network_type=flat --provider:physical_network=public --router:external external-net

neutron subnet-create external-net 192.168.1.0/24 --name external-subnet --gateway 192.168.1.1 --allocation-pool start=192.168.1.200,end=192.168.1.250

neutron net-create --provider:network_type=flat --provider:physical_network=internal net1

neutron subnet-create net1 192.168.5.0/24 --name subnet1

neutron  router-create router1

neutron router-gateway-set router1 external-net

neutron router-interface-add router1 subnet1

Best Regards,

Xu, Chenjie

Subject: [Starlingx-discuss] STX 2.0 (Containerized): Configuring Data network (Provider Network) type as flat fails

Hi All,

I have installed containerized STX 2.0 system in my lab and wanted to connect data network. I used default vswitch type i.e OVS.

My lab network is of type flat and I don’t have easy access to the switch so I would like to use data network type as flat network.

But when I see in the wiki page it talked about vlan type only. I used the command

“system datanetwork-add ${PHYSNET0} flat
system host-if-modify
&
system interface-datanetwork-assign
”

But I am unable to connect to datanetwork. I see the error like in the attached image.

Have anybody tried with the flat network type or can somebody tell me what could be error or how should I debug.

It will be so helpful for us to deploy and test

Mit freundlichen Grüßen/ with best regards,
