Logical Router Name is not Updated in Contrail GUI

[Anda-Maria Nicolae]

Hi all,

I am using Contrail version 3.2.4.0. I have a setup with 3 VMs: 1st VM is the Openstack node, the 2nd VM is Contrail controller node and the 3rd VM is Contrail compute node.
CentOS is running on all the 3 VMs.

From Contrail GUI (Configure -> Networking -> Routers Tab), I have created a logical router, named router1.
I've noticed that Contrail GUI has both "name" and "display_name" for a logical router. What is shown in Configure -> Networking -> Routers Tab is the "name".
If I select a logical router and I edit it, I cannot change the name of the logical router.

But the name of the logical router can be changed using neutron commands.
In order to change the name of the logical router from router1 to router2, I have issued the following command on the Openstack node:
neutron router-update --name router2 router1

Now, the output of the "neutron router-list" command shows the updated name, router2.

However, Contrail GUI does not display the updated name. Contrail GUI still displays router1.

I have added logs in the code and I have noticed that "display_name" is router2, but name is router1. I think that "display_name" should appear in COntrail GUI, instead of "name".

Thanks,
Anda

Hi Rajiv,

Thanks for the submitted fix and for integrating it in R3.2.
However, I do not think that the problem is entirely fixed. Indeed, with the fix we can change the logical router's name from Contrail GUI.

However, if the user wants to automate the operations and he/she uses some neutron commands to change router's name, the bug is reproducible.

There should be a mechanism such that OpenStack notifies Contrail whenever an entity has changed (in this case, the entity is a router's name).

Thanks,
Anda
