Neutron deployment

Neutron needs to be deployed on servers and network devices.

The following table shows Neutron deployment on a server.

Node	Neutron components
Controller node	Neutron server Neutron DB Message server (such as RabbitMQ server) VCF Fabric ML2 Driver (For more information about VCF Fabric ML2 Driver, see VCF Fabric Neutron ML2 Driver Installation Guide.)
Network node	neutron-openvswitch-agent neutron-dhcp-agent
Compute node	neutron-openvswitch-agent LLDP

The following table shows Neutron deployments on a network device.

Networking type	Network device	Neutron components
Centralized gateway deployment	Spine	neutron-l2-agent neutron-l3-agent
	Leaf	neutron-l2-agent
Distributed gateway deployment	Spine	N/A
	Leaf	neutron-l2-agent neutron-l3-agent
