Chapter 5. Reviewing OpenStack Networking router ports

Virtual routers in OpenStack Networking use ports to interconnect with subnets. You can review the state of these ports to determine whether they connect as expected.

5.1. Viewing current port status

Complete the following steps to lists all of the ports that attach to a particular router and to retrieve the current state of a port (DOWN or ACTIVE):

  1. To view all the ports that attach to the router named r1, run the following command:

    #  openstack port list --router r1

    Example result:

    +--------------------------------------+------+-------------------+--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+
    | id                                   | name | mac_address       | fixed_ips                                                                            |
    +--------------------------------------+------+-------------------+--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+
    | b58d26f0-cc03-43c1-ab23-ccdb1018252a |      | fa:16:3e:94:a7:df | {"subnet_id": "a592fdba-babd-48e0-96e8-2dd9117614d3", "ip_address": "192.168.200.1"} |
    | c45e998d-98a1-4b23-bb41-5d24797a12a4 |      | fa:16:3e:ee:6a:f7 | {"subnet_id": "43f8f625-c773-4f18-a691-fd4ebfb3be54", "ip_address": "172.24.4.225"}  |
    +--------------------------------------+------+-------------------+--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+
  2. To view the details of each port, run the following command. Include the port ID of the port that you want to view. The result includes the port status, indicated in the following example as having an ACTIVE state:

    # openstack port show b58d26f0-cc03-43c1-ab23-ccdb1018252a

    Example result:
