Public bug reported: Many organizations use complex IP address convention, which is managed by spreadsheets or documents in order to track IP addresses and prevent duplicate IP addresses. IP address conflicts is one of the most common issues that can happen on an enterprise network. Currently, Neutron provides a pluggable IP Address Management (IPAM) subsystem which allows flexible control over the lifecycle of network resources.
In Calico where data is routed between compute hosts, it's desirable for the IP addresses that are used on a given host (or rack) to be clustered within a small IP prefix. In this case, the routes to those IP addresses can be aggregated. This RFE proposes pluggable IPAM support for host- dependent IP address allocation. This would allow the user to specify that Neutron allocates the IP address of the VM based on the host. ** Affects: neutron Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Tags: rfe -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Yahoo!
