MidoNet Component Topology

This topic lists topology recommendations for installing MidoNet.

• The midonet-api must run co-located with the Cloud Controller (CLC).
• Each Node Controller (NC) must run a Midolman agent.
• The Cloud Controller (CLC) must run a Midolman agent.
• It is recommended that your User Facing Services (UFS) host be used as the MidoNet Gateway (i.e., running a Midolman agent) when configuring .
• The network interface(s) specified as * (in the configuration file) should be dedicated for /MidoNet (for configuration/operation/use).
• /MidoNet expects exclusive use of the network interface specified in .
• If the main network interface of a server is specified in , most likely the connectivity to that server will be lost once is deployed.

Network YAML Example

The following Eucalyptus network YAML file shows a sample VPCMIDO mode configuration:

Mode: VPCMIDO

InstanceDnsServers:
- "10.10.10.1"

PublicIps:
- "1.A.B.1-1.A.B.255"

Mido:
  Gateways:
  - ExternalCidr: "172.19.0.0/30"
    ExternalDevice: "veth1"
    ExternalIp: "172.19.0.2"
    ExternalRouterIp: "172.19.0.1"
    Ip: "10.10.10.1"

Where 1.A.B.1-1.A.B.255 represents the public IP address range for your cloud.
