Hi Anil,

What you quoted is about L3 management and bridging and the need of 
flexibility. It means that the physical NIC will have a whole bunch of 
IP addresses, one per Quantum router you define.

Should you want to deploy a Controler on that node, you would need to 
have a second NIC with external access (what is called "API Network" in 
the docpage Simon quoted).

There is also need for "Data Network" with ideally a third NIC (if you 
want to provide separate IP ranges for API and data network) but you can 
bypass that in a lab environment by assumpting that your data network IP 
range is externally reachable and consequently the management IP of the 
controler/network node is the public IP (for the API purpose) (here, 
NIC2 IP address)

Is it clearer ?
