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).

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.
