Deprecation Notes

  • Support for Arista plugin has been deprecated and will be removed in a future release.

  • Support for FUJITSU plugin has been deprecated and will be removed in a future release.

  • Usage of config option firewall_driver in the neutron::plugins::ml2 class is now deprecated and has no effect on the deployment. Config option firewall_driver should be set in the classes for agents’ configuration like neutron::agents::ml2::ovs instead. Usage of this option in the Neutron server was there just for backward compatibility with old agents which can’t report what driver they are using. Since Newton all Neutron drivers are reporting that in heartbeat messages and there is no need to keep configure this in the neutron server’s side.
