[NETVIRT-934] Allow Address Pairs not working across tenant networks

Tue, 18 Aug 2020 03:42:41 +0000

Allowed address pairs (AAP) does not across neutron networks when using ODL as ml2 backend. I tried with both, Nitrogen and Carbon.

Steps to reproduce:

Create two tenant networks, for example 10.0.0.0/24 and 20.0.0.0/24
Create a router and connect both networks to it
Create a VM on first tenant network: VM1 with IP 10.0.0.5
Create a VM on second tenant network: VM2 with IP 20.0.0.5
Create a port on second tenant network: for example 20.0.0.10
Attach the IP of that port as AAP of the port being used by VM2

Then, if you try to ping VM2 from VM1 it works, i.e., ping 20.0.0.5 from 10.0.0.5. However, if you try to ping the AAP (i.e., 20.0.0.10) from VM1, the traffic does not reach VM2. Actually, it does not even reach the second tenant network (20.0.0.0/24) as the traffic gets to the OVS table 46 and from there it is sent to the controller, therefore not reaching the port where VM2 is connected.
