Multi-node: Set up connectivity with default OVS bridge
This sets up a default 'br-infra' bridge between nodes in a multi-node
job. Two groups are expected in order for this to be set up:
- switch
- peers

The 'switch' group, with only one expected member, will be set up as
the switch node while the 'peers' group will be connected to the switch
node with virtual ports.

The default settings such as the bridge name, the IP range used, the MTU
and so on can be overridden at the job level by setting vars.

Configures a VXLAN virtual network overlay through an openvswitch network bridge between a 'switch' node and 'peer' nodes.

This allows members of the bridge to communicate with each other through the virtual network.

By default, this role will:

  • Install and start openvswitch
  • Set up a br-infra bridge on all nodes
  • Set up the connectivity between the switch and the peer with a virtual port
  • Set up an ip address on the bridge interface:
172.24.4.1/23 # switch node
172.41.4.2/23 # first peer
172.41.4.3/23 # second peer
...

Role requirements

This role requires and expects two groups to be set up in the Ansible host inventory in order to work:

  • switch (the node acting as the switch)
  • peers (nodes connected to the virtual switch ports)
