Configure VPCMIDO Network Mode

This topic provides configuration instructions for Eucalyptus VPCMIDO network mode. Eucalyptus requires network connectivity between its clients (end-users) and the cloud components (e.g., CC, CLC, and storage).

Note: If you are not using VPCMIDO mode with Eucalyptus, you can skip this topic. See Configure EDGE Network Mode.

To configure VPCMIDO mode parameters, you must create a network.json configuration file. Later in the installation process you will Upload the Network JSON Configuration File to the CLC.

Create the network JSON file.

Open a text editor.

Create a file similar to the following structure. This example demonstrates two gateways and two BGP peers (sections relevant to VPCMIDO are shown here).

{
    "Mido": {
        "BgpAsn": "64512",
        "Gateways": [
            {
                "Ip": "10.111.5.11",
                "ExternalDevice": "em1.116",
                "ExternalCidr": "10.116.128.0/17",
                "ExternalIp": "10.116.133.11",
                "BgpPeerIp": "10.116.133.173",
                "BgpPeerAsn": "65000",
                "BgpAdRoutes": [
                    "10.116.150.0/24"
                ]
            },
            {
                "Ip": "10.111.5.22",
                "ExternalDevice": "em1.117",
                "ExternalCidr": "10.117.128.0/17",
                "ExternalIp": "10.117.133.22",
                "BgpPeerIp": "10.117.133.173",
                "BgpPeerAsn": "65001",
                "BgpAdRoutes": [
                    "10.117.150.0/24"
                ]
            }
        ],
        "Mode": "VPCMIDO",
        "PublicIps": [
            "10.116.150.10-10.116.150.254",
            "10.117.150.10-10.117.150.254"
        ]
    }
}

Save the network.json file.

The following example demonstrates a gateway with static routing configuration. This configuration might be used for a Proof of Concept (POC) environment; however, it is not recommended for production.

{
    "Mido": {
        "Gateways": [
            {
                "Ip": "10.111.5.11",
                "ExternalDevice": "em1.116",
                "ExternalCidr": "10.116.128.0/17",
                "ExternalIp": "10.116.133.11",
                "ExternalRouterIp": "10.116.133.173"
            }
        ]
    },
    "Mode": "VPCMIDO",
    "PublicIps": [
        "10.116.150.10-10.116.150.254"
    ]
