Manage Networking service quotas

A quota limits the number of available resources. A default quota
might be enforced for all projects. When you try to create more
resources than the quota allows, an error occurs:

$ openstack network create test_net
 Quota exceeded for resources: ['network']

Per-project quota configuration is also supported by the quota
extension API. See cfg_quotas_per_tenant for details.

Basic quota configuration

In the Networking default quota mechanism, all projects have the same
quota values, such as the number of resources that a project can
create.

The quota value is defined in the OpenStack Networking
/etc/neutron/neutron.conf configuration file. This example
shows the default quota values:

[quotas]
# number of networks allowed per tenant, and minus means unlimited
quota_network = 10

# number of subnets allowed per tenant, and minus means unlimited
quota_subnet = 10

# number of ports allowed per tenant, and minus means unlimited
quota_port = 50

# default driver to use for quota checks
quota_driver = neutron.quota.DbQuotaNoLockDriver

OpenStack Networking also supports quotas for L3 resources: router
and floating IP. Add these lines to the quotas section in
the /etc/neutron/neutron.conf file:

[quotas]
# number of routers allowed per tenant, and minus means unlimited
quota_router = 10

# number of floating IPs allowed per tenant, and minus means unlimited
quota_floatingip = 50

OpenStack Networking also supports quotas for security group
resources: number of security groups and number of rules. Add these
lines to the quotas section in the
/etc/neutron/neutron.conf file:

[quotas]
# number of security groups per tenant, and minus means unlimited
quota_security_group = 10

# number of security rules allowed per tenant, and minus means unlimited
quota_security_group_rule = 100

Configure per-project quotas

OpenStack Networking also supports per-project quota limit by quota
extension API.

This document needs to be migrated to using openstack
commands rather than the deprecated neutron commands.

Use these commands to manage per-project quotas:

neutron quota-delete

Delete defined quotas for a specified project

neutron quota-list

Lists defined quotas for all projects

neutron quota-show

Shows quotas for a specified project

neutron quota-default-show

Show default quotas for a specified tenant

neutron quota-update

Updates quotas for a specified project

Only users with the admin role can change a quota value.
By default, the default set of quotas are enforced for all projects, so
no quota-create
command exists.

  1. Configure Networking to show per-project quotas

    Set the quota_driver option in the
    /etc/neutron/neutron.conf file.

    quota_driver = neutron.db.quota_db.DbQuotaDriver

    When you set this option, the output for Networking commands shows
    quotas.

  2. List Networking extensions.

    To list the Networking extensions, run this command:

    $ openstack extension list --network

    The command shows the quotas extension, which provides
    per-project quota management support.

    Note

    Many of the extensions shown below are supported in the Mitaka
    release and later.

+------------------------+------------------------+--------------------------+

  3. Show information for the quotas extension.

    To show information for the quotas extension, run this
    command:

    $ neutron ext-show quotas
+-------------+------------------------------------------------------------+
| Field       | Value                                                      |
+-------------+------------------------------------------------------------+
| alias       | quotas                                                     |
| description | Expose functions for quotas management per tenant          |

| name        | Quota management support                                   |
| namespace   | https://docs.openstack.org/network/ext/quotas-sets/api/v2.0 |
| updated     | 2012-07-29T10:00:00-00:00                                  |
+-------------+------------------------------------------------------------+

    Note

    Only some plug-ins support per-project quotas. Specifically, Open
    vSwitch, Linux Bridge, and VMware NSX support them, but new versions of
    other plug-ins might bring additional functionality. See the
    documentation for each plug-in.

  4. List projects who have per-project quota support.

    The neutron quota-list command lists projects for
    which the per-project quota is enabled. The command does not list
    projects with default quota support. You must be an administrative user
    to run this command:

    $ neutron quota-list
+------------+---------+------+--------+--------+----------------------------------+
| floatingip | network | port | router | subnet | tenant_id                        |
+------------+---------+------+--------+--------+----------------------------------+
|         20 |       5 |   20 |     10 |      5 | 6f88036c45344d9999a1f971e4882723 |
|         25 |      10 |   30 |     10 |     10 | bff5c9455ee24231b5bc713c1b96d422 |
+------------+---------+------+--------+--------+----------------------------------+

  5. Show per-project quota values.

    The neutron quota-show command reports the current set
    of quota limits for the specified project. Non-administrative users can
    run this command without the --tenant_id parameter. If
    per-project quota limits are not enabled for the project, the command
    shows the default set of quotas.

    Note

    Additional quotas added in the Mitaka release include
    security_group, security_group_rule,
    subnet, and subnetpool.

    $ neutron quota-show --tenant_id 6f88036c45344d9999a1f971e4882723
+---------------------+-------+
| Field               | Value |
+---------------------+-------+
| floatingip          | 50    |
| network             | 10    |
| port                | 50    |
| rbac_policy         | 10    |
| router              | 10    |
| security_group      | 10    |
| security_group_rule | 100   |
| subnet              | 10    |
| subnetpool          | -1    |
+---------------------+-------+

    The following command shows the command output for a
    non-administrative user.

    $ neutron quota-show
+---------------------+-------+
| Field               | Value |
+---------------------+-------+
| floatingip          | 50    |
| network             | 10    |
| port                | 50    |
| rbac_policy         | 10    |
| router              | 10    |
| security_group      | 10    |
| security_group_rule | 100   |
| subnet              | 10    |
| subnetpool          | -1    |
+---------------------+-------+

  6. Update quota values for a specified project.

    Use the neutron quota-update command to update a quota for
    a specified project.

    $ neutron quota-update --tenant_id 6f88036c45344d9999a1f971e4882723 --network 5
+---------------------+-------+
| Field               | Value |
+---------------------+-------+
| floatingip          | 50    |
| network             | 5     |
| port                | 50    |
| rbac_policy         | 10    |
| router              | 10    |
| security_group      | 10    |
| security_group_rule | 100   |
| subnet              | 10    |
| subnetpool          | -1    |
+---------------------+-------+

    You can update quotas for multiple resources through one command.

    $ neutron quota-update --tenant_id 6f88036c45344d9999a1f971e4882723 --subnet 5 --port 20
+---------------------+-------+
| Field               | Value |
+---------------------+-------+
| floatingip          | 50    |
| network             | 5     |
| port                | 20    |
| rbac_policy         | 10    |
| router              | 10    |
| security_group      | 10    |
| security_group_rule | 100   |
| subnet              | 5     |
| subnetpool          | -1    |
+---------------------+-------+

    To update the limits for an L3 resource such as, router or floating
    IP, you must define new values for the quotas after the --
    directive.

    This example updates the limit of the number of floating IPs for the
    specified project.

    $ neutron quota-update --tenant_id 6f88036c45344d9999a1f971e4882723 --floatingip 20
+---------------------+-------+
| Field               | Value |
+---------------------+-------+
| floatingip          | 20    |
| network             | 5     |
| port                | 20    |
| rbac_policy         | 10    |
| router              | 10    |
| security_group      | 10    |
| security_group_rule | 100   |
| subnet              | 5     |
| subnetpool          | -1    |
+---------------------+-------+

    You can update the limits of multiple resources by including L2
    resources and L3 resource through one command:

    $ neutron quota-update --tenant_id 6f88036c45344d9999a1f971e4882723 \
  --network 3 --subnet 3 --port 3 --floatingip 3 --router 3
+---------------------+-------+
| Field               | Value |
+---------------------+-------+
| floatingip          | 3     |
| network             | 3     |
| port                | 3     |
| rbac_policy         | 10    |
| router              | 3     |
| security_group      | 10    |
| security_group_rule | 100   |
| subnet              | 3     |
| subnetpool          | -1    |
+---------------------+-------+

  7. Delete per-project quota values.

    To clear per-project quota limits, use the neutron quota-delete
    command.

    $ neutron quota-delete --tenant_id 6f88036c45344d9999a1f971e4882723
 Deleted quota: 6f88036c45344d9999a1f971e4882723

    After you run this command, you can see that quota values for the
    project are reset to the default values.

    $ openstack quota show 6f88036c45344d9999a1f971e4882723
+---------------------+-------+
| Field               | Value |
+---------------------+-------+
| floatingip          | 50    |
| network             | 10    |
| port                | 50    |
| rbac_policy         | 10    |
| router              | 10    |
| security_group      | 10    |
| security_group_rule | 100   |
| subnet              | 10    |
| subnetpool          | -1    |
+---------------------+-------+

Note

Listing default quotas with the OpenStack command line client will
provide all quotas for networking and other services. Previously, the
neutron quota-show --tenant_id would list only
networking quotas.
