• A single node OpenStack installation with Floodlight as its quantum neutron backend.
• Via the OpenStack Horizon GUI, tenants, virtual networks, and virtual instances can be created. See Verify OpenStack and Floodlight Installation for usage examples.

...

You will need to run a Floodlight controller for the OpenStack Quantum Neutron networking support to work.  The floodlight controller can be running on a separate floodlight VM you downloaded earlier, or you can download the floodlight source as a zip file, unzip it, compile and run it with the following simple steps on your Ubuntu VM:

Make sure you have Internet connectivity before proceeding.

$ sudo apt-get update
$ sudo apt-get install zip default-jdk ant
$ wget --no-check-certificate https://github.com/floodlight/floodlight/archive/master.zip
$ unzip master.zip
$ cd floodlight-master; ant
$ java -jar target/floodlight.jar -cf src/main/resources/quantumneutron.properties

To confirm the VirtualNetworkFilter is successfully activated, do the following on your Ubuntu VM:

$ curl 127.0.0.1:8080/networkService/v1.1
{"status":"ok"}

Neutron Plugin using Devstack

Once Floodlight is confirmed running, we are ready to install OpenStack using the install-devstack script. The following steps 1) configures OVS switch on the VM to listen to floodlight and 2) installs OpenStack and the BigSwitch REST proxy plugin on the VM.
