In short, yes. If you’re connecting instances to vlan “provider” networks, traffic between instances on different compute nodes will traverse the “provider bridge”, get tagged out eth1, and hit the physical switching fabric. Your external gateway device could also sit in that vlan, and the default route on the instance would direct external traffic to that device. In reality, every network has ‘provider’ attributes that describe the network type, segmentation id, and bridge interface (for vlan/flat only). So tenant networks that leverage vlans would have provider attributes set by Neutron automatically based on the configuration set in the ML2 config file. If you use Neutron routers that connect to both ‘tenant’ vlan-based networks and external ‘provider’ networks, all of that traffic could traverse the same provider bridge on the controller/network node, but would be tagged accordingly based on the network (ie. vlan 100 for external network, vlan 200 for tenant network). Hope that’s not too confusing! James > On Jun 24, 2015, at 8:54 AM, YANG LI <yan...@clemson.edu> wrote: > > I am working on install openstack from scratch, but get confused with network > part.
