Re: Cloudstack physical network on xenserver
Hi, i'm not talking about guest network,because i'm using gre for guests,my problrem is with the public network used by virtual routers and system VM's, i'm loosing the network configuration of the public network (the Vlan id and the correspond bond name) on the host when i remove all the virtual routers and system vm's from that host. 2015-07-03 15:00 GMT+01:00 Vadim Kimlaychuk vadim.kimlayc...@elion.ee: Hi, Cloudstack does the following: 1. When you configure physical networking of you cloud this should match name of the physical network name-label on you XenServer host (let me say guest-net). You can check it with xe network-list 2. When you configure guest networks CS asks you for range of VLANs it will configure by itself. Let me say you put 500-600 3. When first guest comes, CS registers new VLAN taking ID randomly (upon first VM is registered). You can check it by xe vlan-list on your host. CS connects VLAN ID to guest network uuid and physical network uuid. To work properly you should configure all guest VLANs on your switch and enable VLAN ID transitions from one to another. For instance if your public VLAN id = 5 and guest VLAN ID=505 you must change it while routing from one VLAN to another. Of course if you remove client from Cloudstack -- you should see that corresponding VLAN is removed from you host automatically Vadim From: Fedi Ben Ali ben.ali.fe...@gmail.com Sent: Friday, July 3, 2015 15:11 To: users@cloudstack.apache.org Subject: Re: Cloudstack physical network on xenserver Hi, Yes i'm working on an advanced zone, each one of the clients have it's own network so his own virtual router.

Re: Cloudstack physical network on xenserver
I am assuming that you're running with Advanced Networking. In general, only your VR needs to be on the Public Network, and as such there is no reason to have it configured on the host(s) if there is no VR running there. This is intended.
