Add and Maintain Routes for a VXLAN Network

You can add or delete routing table entries for hosts on a VXLAN network using the CLI.

Prerequisites

The compute node must be locked.

Procedure

To add routes, use the following command.

~(keystone_admin)]$ system host-route-add <node> <ifname> <network> <prefix> <gateway> <metric>

where

node

is the name or UUID of the compute node

ifname

is the name of the interface

network

is an IPv4 or IPv6 network address

prefix

is the netmask length for the network address

gateway

is the default gateway

metric

is the cost of the route (the number of hops)

To delete routes, use the following command.

~(keystone_admin)]$ system host-route-delete <uuid> <ifname> <network> <prefix> <gateway> <metric>

where uuid is the UUID of the route to be deleted.

To list existing routes, including their UUIDs, use the following command.

~(keystone_admin)]$ system host-route-list compute-0
