can not edit the neutron.conf file for configuring OpenDaylight with openstack

[Awais Shah]

I want to configure opendaylight as SDN controller with the Openstack which requires editing the files like neturon.conf and some other but these files are uneditable. Please guide what to do?

MicroStack services are generally configurable via files in the .d directories in $SNAP_COMMON/etc/, which is writable.

This means that, if you create a file called opendaylight.conf in /var/snap/microstack/common/etc/neutron/neutron.conf.d/ with your config, then restart the snap, MicroStack's Neutron services should pick up and use your configuration.

Note that, while all the files in /var/snap/microstack/common/etc/neutron.conf.d/ are writable, the existing files are managed by the snap, and changes to them will get overwritten on snap restart. You want to put your custom configuration in a uniquely named .conf file in that directory.
