Managing Custom Networks

Introduction

The OpenStack Networking Service, Neutron, offers the capability to create custom private networks. This is useful for coursework related exercises or for internal clusters that only need east-west network traffic.

There are three network types that will be overviewed. Typical external network (uplink to campus via a router), provider network (direct uplink to campus), and private networks.

Usage of the OpenStack Command Line Client (OSC) is recommended.
