Lab 1.4: Deploy L4-L7 via Horizon
---------------------------------

The F5 LBaaS integration will configure the Networking on the BIG-IP to
connect to the OpenStack network. From Chrome click on the “BIG-IP”
bookmark and login with the credentials “admin / admin”. Observe that
there is only a single partition “Common”.

Also note only one self-ip in Route Domain 0.

|image20|

Switch back to the OpenStack Horizon tab inside Chrome and do a forced refresh (Shift+[Reload]).

You should now see a new menu item under “Network”.

|image21|

If you do not see “Load Balancers” verify that the Loadbalancer Agent is
running from the previous lab. Click on the “Load Balancers” menu item,
then click on “+Create Load Balancer”.

|image22|

Complete the following information.

.. IMPORTANT::
   Make sure to use the values below and not the GUI defaults!
   
**Load Balancer Details**

+----------+-------------------+
| name     | value             |
+==========+===================+
| Name     | lb1               |
+----------+-------------------+
| Subnet   | internal-subnet   |
+----------+-------------------+


**Listener Details**

+------------+-------------+
| name       | value       |
+============+=============+
| Name       | listener1   |
+------------+-------------+
| Protocol   | HTTP        |
+------------+-------------+
| Port       | 80          |
+------------+-------------+

**Pool Details**

+----------+----------------+
| name     | value          |
+==========+================+
| Name     | pool1          |
+----------+----------------+
| Method   | ROUND\_ROBIN   |
+----------+----------------+

**Pool Members**

+------------+--------+
| name       | port   |
+============+========+
| server-1   | 80     |
+------------+--------+
| server-2   | 80     |
+------------+--------+

**Monitor type**

+----------------+---------+
| name           | value   |
+================+=========+
| Monitor type   | HTTP    |
+----------------+---------+

Then click on “Create Load Balancer”

|image23|

On the BIG-IP take a look at the Partition. You should see that a new
partition was created.

|image24|

Change to that partition and inspect the Self IPs items under Network.
You should see that a VXLAN tunnel that was created connected to the tenant network.  Verify the tenant network is the internal network from viewing the ``neutron subnet-list`` command you ran in the previous lab.

|image25|

Under Network Map you will see the entries that were created by LBaaS
via the Horizon Panel.

|image26|

Observe that the BIG-IP Pool name uses the OpenStack Pool ID from the load balancer configuration.  Horizon>Network>Load Balancers>lb1>Listeners>Listener 1 – Default Pool ID

(yours will differ in value from the example).

|image27|

To test this configuration we will need to add a Floating IP to be able
to access the Tenant Subnet externally. On the main “Load Balancers”
page, click on the downward arrow next to “Edit” and select “Associate
Floating IP”

|image28|

Specify the “public” pool.

|image29|

And click “Associate”. Click on “lb1” and you will see the Floating IP
Address.

|image30|

Enter this value into the Chrome URL and you should see (colors may
vary, there’s a chance they may be the same).

|image31|

Adding “/simple.shtml” you can see the Server IP and see the service
being load balanced.
