CMPE 210 Lecture Notes - Lecture 4: Network Address Translation, Openstack, Network Virtualization
Document Summary
Neutron subnet pool service is useful in two scenarios, ipv6 networks, because open stack does not support floating ipv6 addresses and when one needs to create a route directly from an external network to a project network. Neutron port is an address that is used for logically separating the processes. In a cloud network, the main ingress and egress points are the ports for any type of data traffic although the major entities across the network seem to be routers, firewalls, and other visible hardware devices. The open stack provides rich support for the virtual networking devices. Ports in an open stack network are usually created automatically, although the user can manually create the ports using command line interface. Open stack networking ports are mainly build using virtual interfaces on the hypervisor on (cid:449)hi(cid:272)h the (cid:373)a(cid:272)hi(cid:374)e is ru(cid:374)(cid:374)i(cid:374)g. virtual (cid:373)a(cid:272)hi(cid:374)e"s ip addresses are stored (cid:449)ith the port addresses attached to it.
