I am trying to use the 'per account' source nat type in the network
offering for my Palo Alto Firewall integration. I currently have it
working for one network per account. Obviously I would like to support
more than one network per account. I am not sure that this functionality
is currently implemented.
Here is the code in question in ExternalFirewallDeviceManagerImpl.java and
function 'manageGuestNetworkWithExternalFirewall':
IPAddressVO sourceNatIp = null;
if (!sharedSourceNat) {
// Get the source NAT IP address for this account
List<? extends IpAddress> sourceNatIps =
_networkModel.listPublicIpsAssignedToAccount(network.getAccountId(),
zoneId, true);
if (sourceNatIps.size() != 1) {
String errorMsg = "External firewall was unable to find the source
NAT IP address for account "
+ account.getAccountName();
s_logger.error(errorMsg);
return true;
} else {
sourceNatIp = _ipAddressDao.findById(sourceNatIps.get(0).getId());
}
}
This piece of code is supposed to handle the when the source nat type is
'per account' instead of 'per zone'. This clearly only supports one
network per account.
Since the condition when 'sourceNatIps.size() != 1' is only an error, would
I have the go ahead to implement support for multiple networks in one
account or am I missing something here? Basically, I will want to set the
'sourceNatIp' variable to be the source nat ip for the specific network.
Let me know what you think...
Thanks,
Will
