Documentation: Configuring VLAN Networking needs another option #574

Open termie opened 13 years ago

termie commented 13 years ago

Documentation of Configuring VLAN Networking (http://docs.openstack.org/trunk/openstack-compute-admin/content/configuring-networking-on-the-compute-node.html#d5e943) almost immediately jumps into a very complex example. This is not the only way to do VLANs. As I understand it, this method is useful if you've only created one network and are adding more networks one at a time.

Another option is to create many networks (hundreds, thousands) during the initial deployment of Nova. E.G.

nova-manage network create 10.0.0.0/8 2000 256

This way when a new project is created and an instance is run in that project a network will be automatically selected and the bridges and VLANs will be automatically created. No need to delve into the DB and make updates.

(by ttx) @Anne: are you currently working on that ? If not we should probably leave it unassigned to let other people have a try at fixing it...
