Currently, Genius auto tunnels is configured to read tep-ip, etc from OVS external_ids tuple in the Open_vSwitch table. Details can be found here:
This change will be to use the existing, supported field local_ip, from OVS other_config table tuple in the Open_vSwitch table.
The main reasons for this change are:
- Avoid duplicate data. Instead of introducing a new field, tep-ip, for source VTEP IP, reusing existing local_ip.
- Devstack and other installers already support local_ip. By reusing this field, there should be no changes required in any of the installers (devstack, OOO, etc).
So, going forward, local_ip will be used as the source IP for the VTEP, instead of tep-ip.
