Sample Network Design

The following table shows the networks configured in this implementation. This installation further assumes that the networks are configured using VLANs on the bonded eth1 interface, and that eth0 is the administrative network.

Purpose Is routed? Network Name Examples
Provides IPMI and SSH connectivity. This network is only available within the datacenter. Yes Admin net 192.168.81.0/24
Routed network to access OpenStack APIs. Yes API net 192.168.82.0/24
Routed network that provides connectivity to the floating IPs assigned to the virtual machines. Yes External net 192.168.83.0/24
OpenStack internal messageQ communication non-routed network. No MGMT net 10.200.10.0/24
OpenStack virtual machine to virtual machine communication non-routed network. No Data net 10.10.1.0/24
OpenStack cinder and NFS storage non-routed network. No Cinder storage 10.200.11.0/24

Provider Networks

Provider networks allow cloud administrators to create OpenStack Networking networks that map directly to physical networks in the data center. The Provider networks are the backbone of a virtual network(s) which maps virtual network to physical network. In the Stratus, the provider network is the externally-routed network.
