Neutron

Provides virtual networking services among devices that are managed by the OpenStack compute service. The Networking API v2.0 combines the API v1.1 function with some essential Internet Protocol Address Management (IPAM). Enables users to associate IP address blocks and other network configuration settings with a neutron network. You can choose a specific IP address from the block or Neutron can choose the first available IP address.

Important:
  • IBM® Cloud Manager with OpenStack version 4.3 supports Neutron load balancer as a service (LBaaS) version 1 API only. Version 2.0 API is not supported.
  • The PowerVC and VMware drivers only support the Network section. Other sections, such as LBaaS and others, are unsupported.
  • The PowerVC driver supports only VLAN type networks with physical network equal to “default”.
  • The PowerVC driver does not support updating the IP address range of the Neutron subnet.
  • The VMware driver supports only VLAN and Flat network types.
  • IPv6 addresses are ignored by the PowerVC and VMware drivers.
