The Oracle Ethernet Switch ML2 Mechanism Driver for OpenStack Neutron is one component of OpenStack software and nodes, Oracle Fabric Manager, and individual hosts and operating systems in the OpenStack deployment.
The Oracle Ethernet Switch ML2 Mechanism Driver allows OpenStack installations to configure network connectivity for Oracle VMs on Oracle Ethernet Switches, including Oracle Switch ES2-72 and Oracle Switch ES2-64. OpenStack deployments can create private OpenStack networks that use the 40 Gbps Oracle Ethernet Switch technology.
Starting from OpenStack, communication passes through the Oracle Ethernet Switch ML2 Mechanism Driver to Oracle Fabric Manager. Oracle Fabric Manager sends the communication to the ES2 CLI, which adds or deletes a VLAN network, or modifies VLAN member ports.
The Oracle Ethernet Switch ML2 Mechanism Driver enables OpenStack installations to configure network connectivity for instance VMs.
