This page introduces the Abiquo platform networks in infrastructure |
Abiquo supports IPv4 for access to the Abiquo console/UI.
The Abiquo servers are in the management network for managing the cloud platform, including monitoring of infrastructure and VMs, and deployment of VM templates.
In private cloud, VMs are in the tagged virtual networks that constitute the service network for VM communications.
Connect every hypervisor to the top-of-rack switch to connect:
to the management network in access mode
to the service network in trunk mode.
...
Abiquo creates private networks using software defined networking (SDN), or with a tag from the range that you assign to an Abiquo rack. Abiquo SDN integrations also create firewalls, load balancers, VPNs, and NAT.
...
For test systems, to use the built-in DHCP server, install the Abiquo Monolithic Server or separate Abiquo Remote Services server on a hypervisor with VLAN support. See Network configuration for virtualizing Abiquo
