In most cases, nodes should obtain internet access through the management network interface. To highlight the importance of network separation, the example architectures use `private address space `__ for the management network and assume that the physical network infrastructure provides Internet access via :term:`NAT ` or other method. The example architectures use routable IP address space for the provider (external) network and assume that the physical network infrastructure provides direct Internet access. In the provider networks architecture, all instances attach directly to the provider network. In the self-service (private) networks architecture, instances can attach to a self-service or provider network. Self-service networks can reside entirely within OpenStack or provide some level of external network access using :term:`NAT ` through the provider network. .. _figure-networklayout: .. figure:: figures/networklayout.png :alt: Network layout The example architectures assume use of the following networks: * Management on 10.0.0.0/24 with gateway 10.0.0.1 This network requires a gateway to provide Internet access to all nodes for administrative purposes such as package installation, security updates, :term:`DNS `, and :term:`NTP `. * Provider on 203.0.113.0/24 with gateway 203.0.113.1 This network requires a gateway to provide Internet access to instances in your OpenStack environment. You can modify these ranges and gateways to work with your particular network infrastructure. Network interface names vary by distribution. Traditionally, interfaces use "eth" followed by a sequential number. To cover all variations, this guide simply refers to the first interface as the interface with the lowest number and the second interface as the interface with the highest number. Unless you intend to use the exact configuration provided in this example architecture, you must modify the networks in this procedure to match your environment. Also, each node must resolve the other nodes by name in addition to IP address. For example, the ``controller`` name must resolve to ``10.0.0.11``, the IP address of the management interface on the controller node. .. warning:: Reconfiguring network interfaces will interrupt network connectivity. We recommend using a local terminal session for these procedures. .. note:: .. only:: rdo or obs Your distribution enables a restrictive :term:`firewall` by default.
