This page introduces Abiquo networking concepts by describing describes the platform networks that the system administrator configures in the infrastructure and the cloud networks created within the Abiquo platform.

For more detailed descriptions of each network, please see Cloud networks
The external, unmanaged, and public networks may be collectively referred to as datacenter networks because they are managed at the Abiquo datacenter level.

Private cloud
In private cloud with standard networking, cloud networks are VLANs in the 'service network' that runs on the Abiquo platform networks.
For each datacenter, the network administrator should design the configuration (e.g. VLAN tags, switches, SDN) that will be required.
For standard networks, the administrator must configure the cloud platform switches to support the VLANs that make up the service network.
When using standard networking you can configure virtual machine IPVM IP addresses using DHCP or guest setup. The default configuration is the DHCP server installed by Abiquo but you can also provide your own DHCP server. If a DHCP server is not found, Abiquo uses guest setup . Abiquo supports with cloud-init and hypervisor tools as guest setup methods, requiring compatible templates. You can also use your own , or a custom guest setup method.
