Abiquo SDN integrations work with NSX-V and NSX-T network managers to provide blueprints for software defined networking that include features such as firewalls, load balancers, and NAT in private cloud datacenters.

For compatible versions of VMware NSX and NSX-T, see VMware.

Within Abiquo, cloud administrators use logical devices to define the network virtualization systems for datacenters and enterprises.

Limitations

By default, Abiquo only supports the use of ONE network virtualization system per enterprise and datacenter. Abiquo will always use the most specific device for networking virtualization.

...

If you do not use a separate DHCP solution, install the Abiquo Monolithic Server or separate Abiquo Remote Services server on a hypervisor with VLAN support. See Network configuration for virtualizing Abiquo

It is also possible to assign VM network addresses using cloud-init.
