Create initial networks
=======================
Before launching your first instance, you must create the necessary
virtual network infrastructure to which the instances connect, including
the :ref:`external-network` and :ref:`tenant-network`. After creating this
infrastructure, we recommend that you :ref:`verify-connectivity` and resolve
any issues before proceeding further. :ref:`Initial networks <initialnetworks>`
provides a basic architectural overview of the components that Networking
implements for the initial networks and shows how network traffic flows from
the instance to the external network or Internet.

.. _external-network:
External network
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The external network typically provides Internet access for your
instances. By default, this network only allows Internet access *from*
instances using :term:`Network Address Translation (NAT)`. You can enable
Internet access *to* individual instances using a :term:`floating IP address`
and suitable :term:`security group` rules. The ``admin`` tenant owns this
network because it provides external network access for multiple
tenants.
**To create the external network**
#. On the controller node, source the ``admin`` credentials to gain access to
admin-only CLI commands:
.. code-block:: console
$ source admin-openrc.sh
#. Create the network:
.. code-block:: console
$ neutron net-create ext-net --router:external \
--provider:physical_network external --provider:network_type flat
Created a new network:
+---------------------------+--------------------------------------+
| Field | Value |
+---------------------------+--------------------------------------+
| admin_state_up | True |
| id | 893aebb9-1c1e-48be-8908-6b947f3237b3 |
| name | ext-net |
| provider:network_type | flat |
| provider:physical_network | external |
| provider:segmentation_id | |
| router:external | True |
| shared | False |
| status | ACTIVE |
| subnets | |
| tenant_id | 54cd044c64d5408b83f843d63624e0d8 |
+---------------------------+--------------------------------------+
Like a physical network, a virtual network requires a :term:`subnet` assigned
to it. The external network shares the same subnet and :term:`gateway`
associated with the physical network connected to the external interface on the
network node. You should specify an exclusive slice of this subnet for
:term:`router` and floating IP addresses to prevent interference with other
devices on the external network.
**To create a subnet on the external network**
Create the subnet:
.. code-block:: console
$ neutron subnet-create ext-net EXTERNAL_NETWORK_CIDR --name ext-subnet \
--allocation-pool start=FLOATING_IP_START,end=FLOATING_IP_END \
--disable-dhcp --gateway EXTERNAL_NETWORK_GATEWAY
- Replace ``FLOATING_IP_START`` and ``FLOATING_IP_END`` with
the first and last IP addresses of the range that you want to allocate for
floating IP addresses.
- Replace ``EXTERNAL_NETWORK_CIDR`` with the subnet associated with the
physical network.
- Replace ``EXTERNAL_NETWORK_GATEWAY`` with the gateway associated with the
physical network, typically the ".1" IP address.
- You should disable :term:`DHCP` on this subnet because instances do not
connect directly to the external network and floating IP addresses
require manual assignment.
For example, using ``203.0.113.0/24`` with floating IP address range
``203.0.113.101`` to ``203.0.113.200``:
.. code-block:: console
$ neutron subnet-create ext-net 203.0.113.0/24 --name ext-subnet \
--allocation-pool start=203.0.113.101,end=203.0.113.200 \
--disable-dhcp --gateway 203.0.113.1
Created a new subnet:
+-------------------+------------------------------------------------------+
| Field | Value |
+-------------------+------------------------------------------------------+
| allocation_pools | {"start": "203.0.113.101", "end": "203.0.113.200"} |
| cidr | 203.0.113.0/24 |
| dns_nameservers | |
| enable_dhcp | False |

| ip_version | 4 |
| ipv6_address_mode | |
| ipv6_ra_mode | |
| name | ext-subnet |
| network_id | 893aebb9-1c1e-48be-8908-6b947f3237b3 |

+-------------------+------------------------------------------------------+
.. _tenant-network:
Tenant network
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The tenant network provides internal network access for instances. The
architecture isolates this type of network from other tenants. The
``demo`` tenant owns this network because it only provides network
access for instances within it.
**To create the tenant network**
#. On the controller node, source the ``demo`` credentials to gain access to
user-only CLI commands:
.. code-block:: console
$ source demo-openrc.sh
#. Create the network:
.. code-block:: console
$ neutron net-create demo-net
Created a new network:
+-----------------+--------------------------------------+
| Field | Value |
+-----------------+--------------------------------------+
| admin_state_up | True |
| id | ac108952-6096-4243-adf4-bb6615b3de28 |
| name | demo-net |
| router:external | False |
| shared | False |
| status | ACTIVE |
| subnets | |
| tenant_id | cdef0071a0194d19ac6bb63802dc9bae |
+-----------------+--------------------------------------+
Like the external network, your tenant network also requires a subnet
attached to it. You can specify any valid subnet because the
architecture isolates tenant networks. By default, this subnet uses DHCP
so your instances can obtain IP addresses.
**To create a subnet on the tenant network**
Create the subnet:
.. code-block:: console
$ neutron subnet-create demo-net TENANT_NETWORK_CIDR \
--name demo-subnet --gateway TENANT_NETWORK_GATEWAY
- Replace ``TENANT_NETWORK_CIDR`` with the subnet you want to associate with
the tenant network.
- Replace ``TENANT_NETWORK_GATEWAY`` with the gateway you want to associate
with it, typically the ".1" IP address.
Example using ``192.168.1.0/24``:
.. code-block:: console
$ neutron subnet-create demo-net 192.168.1.0/24 \
--name demo-subnet --gateway 192.168.1.1
Created a new subnet:
+-------------------+------------------------------------------------------+
| Field | Value |
+-------------------+------------------------------------------------------+
| allocation_pools | {"start": "192.168.1.2", "end": "192.168.1.254"} |

A virtual router passes network traffic between two or more virtual
networks. Each router requires one or more :term:`interfaces <interface>`
and/or gateways that provide access to specific networks. In this case, you
create a router and attach your tenant and external networks to it.
**To create a router on the tenant network and attach the external and tenant
networks to it**
#. Create the router:
.. code-block:: console
$ neutron router-create demo-router
Created a new router:
+-----------------------+--------------------------------------+
| Field | Value |
+-----------------------+--------------------------------------+
| admin_state_up | True |
| external_gateway_info | |
| id | 635660ae-a254-4feb-8993-295aa9ec6418 |
| name | demo-router |
| routes | |
| status | ACTIVE |
| tenant_id | cdef0071a0194d19ac6bb63802dc9bae |
+-----------------------+--------------------------------------+
#. Attach the router to the ``demo`` tenant subnet:
.. code-block:: console
$ neutron router-interface-add demo-router demo-subnet
Added interface b1a894fd-aee8-475c-9262-4342afdc1b58 to router demo-router.
#. Attach the router to the external network by setting it as the gateway:
.. code-block:: console
$ neutron router-gateway-set demo-router ext-net
Set gateway for router demo-router
.. _verify-connectivity:
Verify connectivity
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
We recommend that you verify network connectivity and resolve any issues
before proceeding further. Following the external network subnet example
using ``203.0.113.0/24``, the tenant router gateway should occupy the
lowest IP address in the floating IP address range, ``203.0.113.101``.
If you configured your external physical network and virtual networks
correctly, you should be able to ``ping`` this IP address from any host
on your external physical network.
.. note::
If you are building your OpenStack nodes as virtual machines, you
must configure the hypervisor to permit promiscuous mode on the
external network.
**To verify network connectivity**
From a host on the external network, ping the tenant router gateway:
.. code-block:: console
$ ping -c 4 203.0.113.101
PING 203.0.113.101 (203.0.113.101) 56(84) bytes of data.
