Re: nova-manage network create does not create the bridges/vlans immediately

 

Thanks Nathanael, so the bridges and vlans are created until the instance is created?, because my understanding was that the interfaces were created once the network create is applied, and the interface appears in nova-network node and nova-compute node, is it right?

Omar,

The vlan tagged interfaces and bridges are created on the fly as needed as users within the relevant projects start instances that are scheduled to the relevant compute nodes.
