Figure 5. OpenStack Configuration

To separate traffic for each tenant, the tenants use unique VLAN ID tags. This example configuration

includes OpenStack in a dual-server configuration and uses the Neutron plug-in for VLAN tagging and

creation by OpenFlow-enabled Dell Networking switches.

The Neutron plug-in also allows you to create and manage virtual networks, with each virtual network

containing one or more ports. You can attach a port on a virtual network to a network interface.

If you create a query, the Neutron plug-in displays a list of configured components and their status. The

Neutron plug-in includes additional REST APIs to configure the physical switch and gathers information

about hosts and virtual machines that are attached to a specific host. The Neutron plug-in supports the

following APIs:

• POST/networks/{networkID}

• GET/networks/{networkID}

• UPDATE/networks/{networkID}

• DELETE/networks/{networkID}
