Managing networks using OpenStack terminal client¶
Create a network¶
To create a network from the OpenStack terminal client, follow these steps:
Run
openstack availability zone list --network --long
, this will give you the current availability zones for routers and networking. Save this for following step.Run
openstack network create --availability-zone-hint=[AVAILABILITY ZONE] [NETWORK-NAME]
. Replace the items within brackets with the values from previous section as well as the name of the router. Keep in mind to use the network that corresponds to the availability zone you chose. If you are not sure what availability zone to use, we recommend using europe-se-1a.
Note
In order to connect an instance or router to the network, you will also need to create a subnet which you can then attach to an interface on a router or an instance.
