With the appropriate credentials, SSH into your DevStack setup.
Open the
/etc/neutron/plugins/ml2/ml2_conf.iniconfiguration file using your desired editor. For example, the command for the vi editor will be as follows:
In the
[ml2]section of the file, configuremechanism_drivers, as follows:
Next, open the
/opt/stack/neutron/neutron.egg-info/entry_points.txtfile using your desired editor. For example, the command for the vi editor will be as follows:
