Welcome to networking-baremetal’s documentation!

networking-baremetal plugin

This project’s goal is to provide deep integration between the Networking service and the Bare Metal service and advanced networking features like notifications of port status changes and routed networks support in clouds with Bare Metal service.

Features

• L2VNI Mechanism Driver: Enables baremetal servers to connect to VXLAN and Geneve overlay networks by dynamically allocating VLAN segments and creating OVN localnet ports. See documentation for configuration details.

• Port Status Notifications: Real-time notifications of port status changes from the Bare Metal service to the Networking service.

• Multi-tenant Network Support: Advanced networking features for baremetal deployments with tenant isolation.
