Plugins

Infiniband Physical Network

The ib_physnet plugin populates the physical_network field of ironic ports determined to be Infiniband ports. Ports with a client-id field in their extra attribute are determined to be IB ports.

The plugin is configured via the option [port_physnet] ib_physnet, which is the name of the physical network to apply.

System Name Local Link Connection

The system_name_llc plugin uses LLDP data gathered by the discovery ramdisk to populate the switch_info field of the local_link_connection attribute of ironic ports. The field is populated with the contents of the system name LLDP TLV if it was received by that port.

System Name Physical Network

The system_name_physnet plugin uses LLDP data gathered by the discovery ramdisk to populate the physical_network field of ironic ports.

The plugin is configured via the option [port_physnet] switch_sys_name_mapping, which is a comma-separated list of <switch system name>:<physical network> tuples. If the switch system name LLDP TLV received by a port matches an item in the mapping, the corresponding physical network will be applied to the port.
