We need to accurately describe how to set up the agent to manage multi-tenant BIG-IP VEs. Can build off of lbaasv1 docs.
Per discussion with @jgruber:
Until the ‘VLAN Aware VM’ blueprint is implemented (we are hoping Newton), for OVS and linux bridge we can choose to simply say:
USING TMOS VIRTUAL EDITIONS TO PROVIDE LBAAS SERVICES
When using TMOS virtual editions with the reference Linux bridge or Open vSwitch Neutron core plugins, your LBaaS service can be deployed in two ways:
1) Using Global Routed Mode where the TMOS virtual edition is connected to only provider networks and all pool member L3 addresses must be routable using cloud infrastructure routers.
2) Using GRE or VxLAN overlay networks for tenant networks where the TMOS virtual edition has a data connection to a provider network which can route IP packets to the local_ip VTEP addresses of your compute and network nodes through a cloud infrastructure router.
As of the Mitaka release the Linux bridge and Open vSwitch core plugins do not support the use of VLANs for tenant networks with multi-tenant Nova guest instances.
