In order to provide a fast datapath, users want to be able to install OCP on OSP nodes with secondary NICs attached to a Layer 2 provider network. First, we will need to discover and define what we already support, then work to clear as many hurdles as possible.

This epic has the following requirements:

• IPI support
• UPI support
• OSP Nodes can be deployed with a provider network NIC
• OSP Nodes can attach more than one provider network NIC
• Pod permissions remain the same as a normal install
• Compatibility with OVN services:
• DHCP or IPAM services for VM IP addresses
• static VM MAC/IP with config-drive
• Security groups for provider networks
• QE is able to verify

The following user stories apply: (TODO: egarcia): Simplify this use case

• L2 networking with provider network VLANs to pods on secondary interfaces
• separate NIC or pair of NICs for secondary interfaces

Known Obsticles:

• TBD
