Driver network.bridge

Minimal configlet:

[network#1]
type = bridge

Minimal setup command:

om test/ccfg/foo set --kw="type=bridge"

Supported keywords:

• dev
• mask_per_node
• max_peers
• network
• public
• type

Keyword dev

required:    false
scopable:    false

Description:

The network bridge device name. If not set the name will be obr_<network name>. Use this keyword if you need the network to use an already existing bridge.

Keyword mask_per_node

required:    false
scopable:    false
default:     0
convert:     int

Description:

The prefix length of the subnets distributed to each node. For example if the network is a x.x.x.x/16 you can distribute

• x.x.x.x/17 subnets to 2 nodes
• x.x.x.x/18 to 4 nodes
• etc…

If both mask_per_node and ips_per_node are set, ips_per_node is ignored. If only ips_per_node is set, it is honored for backward compatibility.

The ips_per_node keyword is deprecated because its value is hard to manage for large ipv6 subnets (e.g a x.x.x.x/48 subnet has 281474976710656 ips).

Keyword max_peers

required:    false
scopable:    false
convert:     int

Example:

max_peers=8

Description:

Keyword network

required:    false
scopable:    true

Description:

The cluster backend network.

The routed_bridge driver fragments this network into subnets with a prefix length given bymask_per_nodes.

Keyword public

required:    false
scopable:    false
convert:     bool

Description:

Set to true if the network ip range is public and we must not configure masquerading rules.

Keyword type

required:    false
scopable:    false
candidates:  bridge, routed_bridge
default:     bridge

Description:

The type of network.
