Hi Anda, physnet is used for physical NIC mapping on provider networks.
"The physical_device_mappings parameter is not limited to be a 1-1 mapping between physical networks and NICs. This enables you to map the same physical network to more than one NIC. For example, if physnet2 is connected to eth3 and eth4, then physnet2:eth3,physnet2:eth4 is a valid option." https://docs.openstack.org/ocata/networking-guide/config-sriov.html#whitelist-pci-devices-nova-compute-compute On Sat, Jun 17, 2017 at 12:19 PM, Anda Nicolae <anico...@lenovo.com> wrote: > Hi all, > > > > I am trying to install Contrail using fab and testbed.py.
