The provider Extended Attributes for Networks

The provider extended attributes for networks enables administrative users to specify how network objects map to the underlying networking infrastructure. These extended attributes also appear when administrative users query networks.

The technology back end of the particular plug-in determines the semantics of these attributes. To understand which values to specify for each attribute when you deploy Networking API v2.0 with a particular plug-in, see the plug-in documentation and the OpenStack Cloud Administrator Guide. The following examples use the Open vSwitch plug-in.

	Note
	The default policy settings enable only administrative users to specify and view these attributes. If you cannot see these attributes in a GET /networks/<network-id> operation, you do not have administrative privileges.
