---------------------------------------
Summary: 2.8. About Physical Networks could be clearer
Key: CLOUDSTACK-4152
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CLOUDSTACK-4152
Project: CloudStack
Issue Type: Improvement
Security Level: Public (Anyone can view this level - this is the default.)
Components: Doc
Affects Versions: 4.1.1
Environment: all
Reporter: Ron Wheeler
Networking seems to be the biggest problem that new users have in getting
started.
1) This page needs some diagrams to make it easier to understand what is being
described.
There are some magical statements or statements about something that the
administrator must do with no reference to a section describing how to do it or
when it must be done.
2) CIDR is used without any definition or explanation.
3) The user is told that IP addresses need to be allocated without any
suggestion of how this is done. This needs to be clarified.
4) It might be useful to split this page into at least 2 pages - Basic and
Advanced.
In the Basic, it would be helpful to describe in some detail the most common
test or small organization environments.
The audience here is a system administrator that has a broad but not too deep
knowledge of networking.
Someone with 2-5 servers behind a simple firewall with 1-5 public IP addresses.
I suggest writing the first draft for a person with 1 public IP address behind
a simple firewall and see how hard it is to extend that to multiple public IPs
without getting into an advanced setup.
The Advanced is more complex but it is also easier to describe since you can
assume that the audience is a network administrator who has a lot more in-depth
knowledge of networing, routers, VLANs, etc.
