Provisioning additional IP and dual-stack IP addresses on a port

For extra flexibility, you can configure an isolated network port to have both IPv4 and IPv6 IP addresses and boot a server using that port.

The following flow chart shows the steps for using dual-stack IP addresses on a port. Detailed steps are provided in this section.

The sections are also organized by example type. To simplify your path through this chapter, decide whether you prefer neutron-client or cURL examples.

Next step: Choose one of the following methods:

• Provisioning a port with additional IP and dual-stack IPs with neutron
  • Showing a port with an IPv6 address (neutron)
  • Getting the IPv4 CIDR for the network (neutron)
  • Adding an IPv4 address on the same port (neutron)
  • Showing the port with both IP addresses (neutron)
  • Booting a Server (nova)
  • Verifying IP addresses on the server port (nova)
• Provisioning a port with additional IP and dual-stack IPs with cURL
  • Showing a port with an IPv6 address (cURL)
  • Getting the IPv4 CIDR for the network (cURL)
  • Adding an IPv4 address on the same port (cURL)
  • Showing the port with both IP addresses (cURL)
  • Booting a Server (cURL)
  • Verifying IP addresses on the server port (cURL)
