If you use Networking, do not run the Compute nova-network
service (like you do in traditional Compute deployments).
Instead, Compute delegates most network-related decisions to Networking. Compute proxies
tenant-facing API calls to manage security groups and floating IPs to Networking APIs.
However, operator-facing tools such as nova-manage
,
are not proxied and should not be used.

When you configure networking, you must use this guide. Do not rely on Compute networking documentation or past experience with Compute. If a nova command or configuration option related to networking is not mentioned in this guide, the command is probably not supported for use with Networking. In particular, you cannot use CLI tools like nova-manage and nova to manage networks or IP addressing, including both fixed and floating IPs, with Networking. |

To ensure that Compute works properly with Networking
(rather than the legacy nova-network
mechanism), you must
adjust settings in the nova.conf
configuration file.
