Thanks Dan.

Hi,<br>
<br>
In the "notes" section on the following page it alludes to the fact that<br>
OpenStack handles the creation of the necessary bridge devices:<br>
<br>
<a href="http://docs.openstack.org/trunk/openstack-compute/admin/content/networking-options.html" target="_blank">http://docs.openstack.org/trunk/openstack-compute/admin/content/networking-options.html</a><br>
<br>
I do not like the verbiage of the first sentence. I would suggest the<br>
following. Replace this:<br>
<br>
#####<br>
All of the networking options require network connectivity to be already<br>
set up between OpenStack physical nodes. OpenStack will not create or<br>
configure any network interfaces (except bridges and VM virtual interfaces).<br>

<br>
with this:<br>
<br>
######<br>
All of the networking options require network connectivity to be already<br>
set up between OpenStack physical nodes. OpenStack will not configure<br>
any physical network interfaces.<br>
<br>
OpenStack will automatically create all network bridges (i.e., br100)<br>
and VM virtual interfaces.<br>
######<br>
<br>
<br>
Then, further down in the same page in the "Flat mode", I see this:<br>
<br>
"A network administrator must configure the Linux networking bridge<br>
(typically named br100, although this configurable) both on the network<br>
controller hosting the network and on the cloud controllers hosting the<br>
instances."<br>
<br></blockquote><div><br>I think this could be re-written as: <br>"A network administrator must create the Linux networking bridge<br>
(typically named br100, although this configurable) both on the network<br>
controller hosting the network and on the cloud controllers hosting the<br>
instances."<br><br>In the installation guide, which is a walkthrough for a single nic with Flat DHCP, This page describes the config/creation steps.<br>Ubuntu:<br><a href="http://docs.openstack.org/trunk/openstack-compute/install/apt/content/compute-configuring-guest-network.html">http://docs.openstack.org/trunk/openstack-compute/install/apt/content/compute-configuring-guest-network.html</a><br>

<br>We already recognize the limitations in the networking (bridging especially) documents at

your interest in this topic to that bug. <br><br>We also realize there
is much more integration work to be done with this bug:
<a href="https://bugs.launchpad.net/openstack-manuals/+bug/1043241">https://bugs.launchpad.net/openstack-manuals/+bug/1043241</a> pointing out

I have not used flat mode, but this statement is opposite of what is<br>
stated above in the "notes" section.<br></blockquote><div><br>Thanks for pointing out your confusion. <br><br>Anne<br> <br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex">
<br>
Of course, I could be reading all of this wrong, in which case the whole<br>
page needs to be re-written. <br></blockquote><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex">
