About Provider Networks
A Provider Network is a shared network in the data center on which users can provision virtual
machine instances. Adding a Provider Network enables you to add an existing data center network
to virtual machine instances in the cloud.
Provider networks in the cloud
A Provider Network is part of the Cloud Data Trunk, which is the physical network hosting the
VLANs that OpenStack Networking makes available to users. The Cloud Data Trunk connects
compute nodes and allows virtual machine instances to communicate with each other. Private
Networks are also part of the Cloud Data Trunk.
Once created, provider networks are shared by all projects in the CloudSystem.
Managing provider networks
Once you add a Provider Network, you can use the CloudSystem Console to manage the network.
You can also use the OpenStack Networking API or CLI to manage the network.
You can use the Dashboard to track the number of Provider Network IP addresses that are assigned
to instances. See the Network section in Interpreting the Dashboard data.
NOTE: The OpenStack Networking service assigns a unique identifier (ID) to each Provider
Network. The service uses the ID to differentiate each network. Because you can create more than
one network with the same name, but with different IDs, you might want to specify a unique name
for each Provider Network so that you can easily differentiate between networks.
Add Provider Network
Adding a Provider Network enables you to provision an existing data center network to the cloud.
