This section contains options for the /etc/neutron/dhcp_agent.ini file.
8.1.1. DEFAULT
The following table outlines the options available under the [DEFAULT] group in the /etc/neutron/dhcp_agent.ini file.
.
| Configuration option = Default value | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
|
| integer value | Time to sleep between reloading the DHCP allocations. This will only be invoked if the value is not 0. If a network has N updates in X seconds then we will reload once with the port changes in the X seconds and not N times. |
|
| boolean value | If set to true, the logging level will be set to DEBUG instead of the default INFO level. |
|
| list value | List of package logging levels in logger=LEVEL pairs. This option is ignored if log_config_append is set. |
|
| boolean value | Use broadcast in DHCP replies. |
|
| string value | Location to store DHCP server config files. |
|
| string value | The driver used to manage the DHCP server. |
|
| integer value | DHCP rebinding time T2 (in seconds). If set to 0, it will default to 7/8 of the lease time. |
|
| integer value | DHCP renewal time T1 (in seconds). If set to 0, it will default to half of the lease time. |
|
| string value | Base log dir for dnsmasq logging. The log contains DHCP and DNS log information and is useful for debugging issues with either DHCP or DNS. If this section is null, disable dnsmasq log. |
| `dnsmasq_config_file = ` | string value | Override the default dnsmasq settings with this file. |
|
| list value | Comma-separated list of the DNS servers which will be used as forwarders. |
|
| boolean value | Enable dhcp-host entry with list of addresses when port has multiple IPv6 addresses in the same subnet. |

|
| boolean value | Enables the dnsmasq service to provide name resolution for instances via DNS resolvers on the host running the DHCP agent. Effectively removes the --no-resolv option from the dnsmasq process arguments. Adding custom DNS resolvers to the dnsmasq_dns_servers option disables this feature. |
|
| boolean value | The DHCP server can assist with providing metadata support on isolated networks. Setting this value to True will cause the DHCP server to append specific host routes to the DHCP request. The metadata service will only be activated when the subnet does not contain any router port. The guest instance must be configured to request host routes via DHCP (Option 121). This option doesn’t have any effect when force_metadata is set to True. |
|
| boolean value | Allows for serving metadata requests coming from a dedicated metadata access network whose CIDR is 169.254.169.254/16 (or larger prefix), and is connected to a Neutron router from which the VMs send metadata:1 request. In this case DHCP Option 121 will not be injected in VMs, as they will be able to reach 169.254.169.254 through a router. This option requires enable_isolated_metadata = True. |
|
| boolean value | Enables or disables fatal status of deprecations. |
|
| boolean value | In some cases the Neutron router is not present to provide the metadata IP but the DHCP server can be used to provide this info. Setting this value will force the DHCP server to append specific host routes to the DHCP request. If this option is set, then the metadata service will be activated for all the networks. |
| `instance_format = [instance: %(uuid)s] ` | string value | The format for an instance that is passed with the log message. |
| `instance_uuid_format = [instance: %(uuid)s] ` | string value | The format for an instance UUID that is passed with the log message. |
|
| string value | The driver used to manage the virtual interface. |
|
| string value | The name of a logging configuration file. This file is appended to any existing logging configuration files. For details about logging configuration files, see the Python logging module documentation. Note that when logging configuration files are used then all logging configuration is set in the configuration file and other logging configuration options are ignored (for example, log-date-format). |
|
| string value | Defines the format string for %%(asctime)s in log records. Default: %(default)s . This option is ignored if log_config_append is set. |
|
| string value | (Optional) The base directory used for relative log_file paths. This option is ignored if log_config_append is set. |
|
| string value | (Optional) Name of log file to send logging output to. If no default is set, logging will go to stderr as defined by use_stderr. This option is ignored if log_config_append is set. |
|
| integer value | The amount of time before the log files are rotated. This option is ignored unless log_rotation_type is setto "interval". |

|
| string value | Name of Open vSwitch bridge to use |
|
| boolean value | Uses veth for an OVS interface or not. Support kernels with limited namespace support (e.g. RHEL 6.5) and rate limiting on router’s gateway port so long as ovs_use_veth is set to True. |
|
| boolean value | Enables or disables publication of error events. |
|
| integer value | Maximum number of logged messages per rate_limit_interval. |
|
| string value | Log level name used by rate limiting: CRITICAL, ERROR, INFO, WARNING, DEBUG or empty string. Logs with level greater or equal to rate_limit_except_level are not filtered. An empty string means that all levels are filtered. |
|
| integer value | Interval, number of seconds, of log rate limiting. |
|
| integer value | The DHCP agent will resync its state with Neutron to recover from any transient notification or RPC errors. The interval is maximum number of seconds between attempts. The resync can be done more often based on the events triggered. |
|
| integer value | Throttle the number of resync state events between the local DHCP state and Neutron to only once per resync_throttle seconds. The value of throttle introduces a minimum interval between resync state events. Otherwise the resync may end up in a busy-loop. The value must be less than resync_interval. |
|
| integer value | Maximum seconds to wait for a response from an RPC call. |
|
| string value | Syslog facility to receive log lines. This option is ignored if log_config_append is set. |
|
| boolean value | Enable journald for logging. If running in a systemd environment you may wish to enable journal support. Doing so will use the journal native protocol which includes structured metadata in addition to log messages.This option is ignored if log_config_append is set. |
|
| boolean value | Use JSON formatting for logging. This option is ignored if log_config_append is set. |
|
| boolean value | Use syslog for logging. Existing syslog format is DEPRECATED and will be changed later to honor RFC5424. This option is ignored if log_config_append is set. |
|
| boolean value | Log output to Windows Event Log. |
|
| boolean value | Log output to standard error. This option is ignored if log_config_append is set. |
|
| boolean value | Uses logging handler designed to watch file system. When log file is moved or removed this handler will open a new log file with specified path instantaneously. It makes sense only if log_file option is specified and Linux platform is used. This option is ignored if log_config_append is set. |

This section contains options for the /etc/neutron/l3_agent.ini file.
8.2.1. DEFAULT
The following table outlines the options available under the [DEFAULT] group in the /etc/neutron/l3_agent.ini file.
.
| Configuration option = Default value | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
|
| string value | The working mode for the agent. Allowed modes are: legacy - this preserves the existing behavior where the L3 agent is deployed on a centralized networking node to provide L3 services like DNAT, and SNAT. Use this mode if you do not want to adopt DVR. dvr - this mode enables DVR functionality and must be used for an L3 agent that runs on a compute host. dvr_snat - this enables centralized SNAT support in conjunction with DVR. This mode must be used for an L3 agent running on a centralized node (or in single-host deployments, e.g. devstack). dvr_no_external - this mode enables only East/West DVR routing functionality for a L3 agent that runs on a compute host, the North/South functionality such as DNAT and SNAT will be provided by the centralized network node that is running in dvr_snat mode. This mode should be used when there is no external network connectivity on the compute host. |
|
| integer value | Number of separate API worker processes for service. If not specified, the default is equal to the number of CPUs available for best performance, capped by potential RAM usage. |
|
| boolean value | If set to true, the logging level will be set to DEBUG instead of the default INFO level. |

| `ipv6_gateway = ` | string value | With IPv6, the network used for the external gateway does not need to have an associated subnet, since the automatically assigned link-local address (LLA) can be used. However, an IPv6 gateway address is needed for use as the next-hop for the default route. If no IPv6 gateway address is configured here, (and only then) the neutron router will be configured to get its default route from router advertisements (RAs) from the upstream router; in which case the upstream router must also be configured to send these RAs. The ipv6_gateway, when configured, should be the LLA of the interface on the upstream router. If a next-hop using a global unique address (GUA) is desired, it needs to be done via a subnet allocated to the network and not through this parameter. |
|
| boolean value | If keepalived without support for "no_track" option is used, this should be set to False. Support for this option was introduced in keepalived 2.x |

|
| string value | The region in which the identity server can be found. |
|
| list value | A choice of roles that must be present in a service token. Service tokens are allowed to request that an expired token can be used and so this check should tightly control that only actual services should be sending this token. Roles here are applied as an ANY check so any role in this list must be present. For backwards compatibility reasons this currently only affects the allow_expired check. |

|
| string value | Format string to use for log messages when context is undefined. Used by oslo_log.formatters.ContextFormatter |
|
| string value | Prefix each line of exception output with this format. Used by oslo_log.formatters.ContextFormatter |
|
| string value | Defines the format string for %(user_identity)s that is used in logging_context_format_string. Used by oslo_log.formatters.ContextFormatter |
|
| integer value | Maximum number of rotated log files. |
|
| integer value | Log file maximum size in MB. This option is ignored if "log_rotation_type" is not set to "size". |
|
| boolean value | Enables or disables publication of error events. |
|
| integer value | Maximum number of logged messages per rate_limit_interval. |
|
| string value | Log level name used by rate limiting: CRITICAL, ERROR, INFO, WARNING, DEBUG or empty string. Logs with level greater or equal to rate_limit_except_level are not filtered. An empty string means that all levels are filtered. |
|
| integer value | Interval, number of seconds, of log rate limiting. |
|
| integer value | Maximum seconds to wait for a response from an RPC call. |
|
| string value | Syslog facility to receive log lines. This option is ignored if log_config_append is set. |
|
| boolean value | Enable journald for logging. If running in a systemd environment you may wish to enable journal support. Doing so will use the journal native protocol which includes structured metadata in addition to log messages.This option is ignored if log_config_append is set. |
|
| boolean value | Use JSON formatting for logging. This option is ignored if log_config_append is set. |
|
| boolean value | Use syslog for logging. Existing syslog format is DEPRECATED and will be changed later to honor RFC5424. This option is ignored if log_config_append is set. |
|
| boolean value | Log output to Windows Event Log. |
|
| boolean value | Log output to standard error. This option is ignored if log_config_append is set. |
|
| boolean value | Uses logging handler designed to watch file system. When log file is moved or removed this handler will open a new log file with specified path instantaneously. It makes sense only if log_file option is specified and Linux platform is used. This option is ignored if log_config_append is set. |
8.9.2. agent
The following table outlines the options available under the [agent] group in the /etc/neutron/plugins/ml2/sriov_agent.ini file.
| Configuration option = Default value | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
|
| list value | Extensions list to use |
8.9.3. sriov_nic
The following table outlines the options available under the [sriov_nic] group in the /etc/neutron/plugins/ml2/sriov_agent.ini file.
| Configuration option = Default value | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
|
| list value | Comma-separated list of <network_device>:<vfs_to_exclude> tuples, mapping network_device to the agent’s node-specific list of virtual functions that should not be used for virtual networking. vfs_to_exclude is a semicolon-separated list of virtual functions to exclude from network_device. The network_device in the mapping should appear in the physical_device_mappings list. |
|
| list value | Comma-separated list of <physical_network>:<network_device> tuples mapping physical network names to the agent’s node-specific physical network device interfaces of SR-IOV physical function to be used for VLAN networks. All physical networks listed in network_vlan_ranges on the server should have mappings to appropriate interfaces on each agent. |
|
| list value | Comma-separated list of <network_device>:<egress_bw>:<ingress_bw> tuples, showing the available bandwidth for the given device in the given direction. The direction is meant from VM perspective. Bandwidth is measured in kilobits per second (kbps). The device must appear in physical_device_mappings as the value. But not all devices in physical_device_mappings must be listed here. For a device not listed here we neither create a resource provider in placement nor report inventories against. An omitted direction means we do not report an inventory for the corresponding class. |
|
| dict value | Mapping of network devices to hypervisors: <network_device>:<hypervisor>,… hypervisor name is used to locate the parent of the resource provider tree. Only needs to be set in the rare case when the hypervisor name is different from the DEFAULT.host config option value as known by the nova-compute managing that hypervisor. |
|
| dict value | Key:value pairs to specify defaults used while reporting resource provider inventories. Possible keys with their types: allocation_ratio:float, max_unit:int, min_unit:int, reserved:int, step_size:int, See also: https://docs.openstack.org/api-ref/placement/#update-resource-provider-inventories |
