  • Add OSC support to create Port pair group for Tap service functions.

6.5.0

Deprecation Notes

  • The --public and --private attribute of Firewall-as-a-Service v2 have been deprecated. While the --public attribute will now be replaced by --share, the --private attribute will be replaced by --no-share. This is because of the similarity between the behavior of --public attribute in FireWall-as-a-Service and the --share attribute used in OpenStack. This deprecation affects the following CLIs.

    • openstack firewall group create

    • openstack firewall group set

    • openstack firewall group unset

    • openstack firewall policy create

    • openstack firewall policy set

    • openstack firewall policy unset

    • openstack firewall rule create

    • openstack firewall rule set

    • openstack firewall rule unset

6.3.0

New Features

  • Adds a new global_request_id parameter to the Client constructors, which will pass that id on all requests as the X-OpenStack-Request-ID header.

  • Tag operation for subnet, port, subnetpool and router resources are now supported.

6.2.0

New Features

  • Add osprofiler support to the neutronclient python binding. If osprofiler is initiated, neutronclient sends a special HTTP header that contains trace info.

  • CLI support for the “Neutron BGP VPN Interconnection” feature, which is an API extension to support inter-connection between L3VPNs/E-VPNs and Neutron resources, as OSC plugin commands.

6.1.0

New Features

  • A new option --no-session-persistence has been added to the neutron lbaas-pool-update CLI to clear the session persistence with which the current pool is associated.

  • Quota for RBAC policies can now be set.

  • Show tenant_id when *-list command is run by admin. In neutron the list operations by admin retrieve all resources from all tenants. It is not easy to distinguish resources without tenant_id. This feature is useful for admin operations.

  • CLI support for the “Firewall as a Service v2” feature, which is enhanced FWaaS functionality, as OSC plugin commands.

Deprecation Notes

  • The neutron CLI is now deprecated. This is the signal that it is time to start using the openstack CLI. No new features will be added to the neutron CLI, though fixes to the CLI will be assessed on a case by case basis. Fixes to the API bindings, as well as development of new API bindings as well as OSC plugins are exempt from this deprecation.

6.0.0

New Features

  • The auto-allocated-topology-delete command allows users to delete the auto allocated topology.

  • CLI support to display the default quota reserved for a tenant.

  • Quota of Loadbalancers and listeners can now be updated.

Deprecation Notes

  • “admin-state-down” option was deprecated in Mitaka and has been removed in Newton.

Bug Fixes

  • Fix CLI quota-update to return an error message for no args

    • quota-update CLI will return an error message Must specify a valid resource with new quota value if no argument is provided while executing it. If arguments are provided with CLI, no existing behavior is changed.

  • Fix ‘bug 1596750 <https://bugs.launchpad.net/neutron/+bug/1596750>’ that using ‘rbac-create’ without specifying ‘target-tenant’ will return ‘Request Failed internal server error while processing your request’. Update the default value of the argument ‘–target-tenant’ to ‘*’

Other Notes

  • This patch provides users the support to use any form of casing, thus removing the specific UPPER/lower case inputs required by different Neutron CLIs.
