Create network and subnet

Edit online

Register a network and subnet. This information is used when deploying new virtual servers.

Use APIs described in the Neutron (networks) topic to register a network and subnet.

You need the following minimal information:
  • VLAN ID (for the provider:segmentation_id field)
  • Network name (you choose)
  • CIDR
  • Network type
  • Physical network
Example
POST /v2.0/networks headers=
{
	'Content-Type': 'application/json',
	'Accept': 'application/json',
	'X-Auth-Token': '01f7499e876945b99a26e8a115c063ad'
}
body=
{
	"network": {
		"shared": false,
		"provider:segmentation_id": 1,
		"name": "mynetwork",
		"admin_state_up": true,
		"provider:network_type": "vlan",
		"provider:physical_network": "default"
	}
}
