Abiquo Cloud Tenant Networks
The In datacenters, cloud tenant networks are the self-service virtual networks that admins and users can use and configure to deliver IP addresses to the virtual machines deployed by Abiquo. In private cloud datacentersstandard networking, these networks are VLANs in the 'service network' that runs on the Abiquo platform networks . Abiquo uses DHCP or guest setup to provide IP addresses to virtual machines. And Abiquo supports software defined networking with integrations with SDN systems such as OpenStack Neutron and VMware NSX. Abiquo also supports networking in public cloud regions, creating private networks and public IP addresses.but Abiquo can also work with SDN systems.
For each datacenter, the network administrator should design the configuration (e.g. VLAN tags, switches, SDN) that will be required and . For standard networks, the administrator must configure the cloud platform switches to support the VLANs that make up the service network.
...
Abiquo will connect VMs to the private VLANs, and from here they can have automatic access to other networks through the external or public IP assigned by the network manager.
DHCP or guest setup
To configure VMs in Abiquo uses DHCP or guest setup to provide IP addresses to virtual machines. So for virtual networks (private, external and public), you can use the Abiquo DHCP server or supply your own. Abiquo creates leases and sends them to the DHCP Server over the management network using the OMAPI protocol, when the user deploys the virtual machine, and before it powers on. The lease contains the MAC address that Abiquo assigned to the VM and the IP address that the user or Abiquo selected.
If no Abiquo does not find a DHCP server, and guest setup is foundavailable, Abiquo Abiquo will inject the network configuration using guest setup. See Guest setup
