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).

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.yaml configuration file. Later in the installation process you will Upload the Network Configuration to the CLC.

Create the network configuration 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).

Mode: VPCMIDO

PublicIps:
- "10.116.150.10-10.116.150.254"
- "10.117.150.10-10.117.150.254"

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"

Save the network.yaml file. The following example demonstrates a gateway with static routing configuration.
