Bug Description
This is a subtle and annoying bug explained here (https:/
It is related to MTU size.
I followed the instructions in this guide and quite smoothly I configured a three node OpenStack deployment. Then, I launched a cirros image, associated a floating IP address and ping/ssh. Fine!
Afterwards, I loaded an Ubuntu image taken from the official repository, I launched, associated an IP address, ping but I was not able to SSH.
After some troubles reported here https:/
The problem is that MTU packets are dropped sometimes and this prevent any sensible usage of virtual machines running in the cloud.
In order to fix the problem, you need to
1) create file /etc/neutron/
2) edit /etc/neutron/
dnsmasq_
This fixes the problem because it forces the instances to send MTUs with a size that can be digested by OpenvSwitch configured for GRE tunneling.
I recommend to add these configuration steps above in the "Configure network node" section.
