This page introduces the Abiquo networks
Abiquo supports IPv4 for access to the Abiquo console/UI.
The Abiquo servers are in the management network. In private cloud, VMs are in the tagged virtual networks that constitute the service network.
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.
In private cloud, Abiquo creates MAC addresses for VMs, and then it assigns IP addresses using one of the following systems:
SDN with DHCP
DHCP remote services
Guest setup
The DHCP remote service must be able to listen on the network (VLAN) of the VM.
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
