dhcp_agent.ini

DEFAULT

ovs_integration_bridge
Type:string
Default:br-int

Name of Open vSwitch bridge to use

ovs_use_veth
Type:boolean
Default:false

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.

interface_driver
Type:string
Default:<None>

The driver used to manage the virtual interface.

resync_interval
Type:integer
Default:5

The DHCP agent will resync its state with Neutron to recover from any transient notification or RPC errors. The interval is number of seconds between attempts.

dhcp_driver
Type:string
Default:neutron.agent.linux.dhcp.Dnsmasq

The driver used to manage the DHCP server.

enable_isolated_metadata
Type:boolean
Default:false

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.

force_metadata
Type:boolean
Default:false

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.

enable_metadata_network
Type:boolean
Default:false

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.

num_sync_threads
Type:integer
Default:4

Number of threads to use during sync process. Should not exceed connection pool size configured on server.

dhcp_confs
Type:string
Default:$state_path/dhcp

Location to store DHCP server config files.

Type:string
Default:u''

dnsmasq_dns_servers
Type:list
Default:u''

Comma-separated list of the DNS servers which will be used as forwarders.

dnsmasq_base_log_dir
Type:string
Default:<None>

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_local_resolv
Type:boolean
Default:false

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.

dnsmasq_lease_max
Type:integer
Default:16777216

Limit number of leases to prevent a denial-of-service.

dhcp_broadcast_reply
Type:boolean
Default:false

Use broadcast in DHCP replies.

dhcp_renewal_time
Type:integer
Default:0

DHCP renewal time T1 (in seconds). If set to 0, it will default to half of the lease time.

dhcp_rebinding_time
Type:integer
Default:0

DHCP rebinding time T2 (in seconds). If set to 0, it will default to 7/8 of the lease time.

debug
Type:boolean
Default:false
Mutable:This option can be changed without restarting.

If set to true, the logging level will be set to DEBUG instead of the default INFO level.

log_config_append
Type:string
Default:<None>
Mutable:This option can be changed without restarting.

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, logging_context_format_string).

watch_log_file
