Modify the Default Router Setting

You can modify the default router setting that NSX uses in the custom.yml file.

About this task

The Neutron configuration file includes a parameter that sets the default router types. For example, tenant_router_types = shared, distributed, exclusive. You can modify the custom.yml file to override this configuration with a custom setting.

Procedure

1. Implement the custom.yml file.

   sudo mkdir -p /opt/vmware/vio/custom
   sudo cp /var/lib/vio/ansible/custom/custom.yml.sample /opt/vmware/vio/custom/custom.yml

2. Open the /opt/vmware/vio/custom/custom.yml file in a text editor.
3. Uncomment the nsxv_tenant_router_types parameter and specify the router types for NSX tenants.

   nsxv_tenant_router_types: exclusive, shared, distributed

4. Using SSH, log in to the VMware Integrated OpenStack manager.
5. Switch to root user.

   sudo su -

6. Push the new configuration to your VMware Integrated OpenStack deployment.

   viocli deployment configure --limit controller
