Dear bug triager. This bug was created since a commit was marked with DOCIMPACT.
Your project "openstack/vmware-nsx" is set up so that we directly report the documentation bugs against it. If this needs changing, the docimpact-group option needs to be added for the project. You can ask the OpenStack infra team (#openstack-infra on freenode) for help if you need to.

    DVS: provide a dhcp_driver class for plugin

    Enable the plugin to override the base DHCP DeviceManager.

    This patch does the following:
    1. provide a class that overrides the default. This is required
       so that we can override the device_manager class
    2. Introduces two new configuration variables:
        - dhcp_override_mac - enables the driver to override the
          neutron port mac address. This should be used when the DHCP
          agent is running on a VM that is connected to the DVS. This
          can save the admin the bother of setting 'forged transmits'
          to enable. This should be the MAC address of the VM
        - dvs_integration_bridge - the name of the bridge to plug the
          interface. This may be a dedicated bride that is connected
          to the DVS

    This enables one to use the simple DVS plugin and actaully get a
    DHCP address.

    NOTE: a port group that can see all of the tags should be
    configured. This is the port group that the dvs_integration_bridge
    should be attached to.
