Well, I'm primarily a networking guy, but Ilya is pretty much right. There's nothing really special about CloudStack on the networking side of things.
You simply have a vlan which has publicly accessible (from a client's standpoint) IPs. As far as networking this could either be a SVI or passed up to your 7200VXRs, depending on how you want to design it. Advanced networking has the added guest network VLANs which are basically just trunk ports of the guest networks and added to those interfaces as allowed vlans. Management server only needs to access the management vlan and not the guest vlans or even the public vlan, this actually confused me at first. Basically all it really does is setup the VMs to have those interfaces through which ever hypervisor you are using. Sincerely, Eric Tykwinski TrueNet, Inc.

From what in understand, you dont have to do anything special for cloudstack on the network side. It is done as it would be without cloudstack when it comes to setting up routers and switches.
