Networking API v2.0 (CURRENT)

Use virtual networking services among devices that are managed by the OpenStack Compute service. The Networking (neutron) API v2.0 combines the API v1.1 functionality with some essential Internet Protocol Address Management (IPAM) functionality. The API enables users to associate IP address blocks and other network configuration settings with an OpenStack Networking network. You can choose a specific IP address from the block or let OpenStack Networking choose the first available IP address.

Effective in the OpenStack Liberty release, XML support in requests and responses was removed for the Networking API v2.0.

POST
/v2.0/subnets
Create subnet

Creates a subnet on a specified network.

 

OpenStack Networking does not try to derive the correct IP version from the specified CIDR. If you do not specify the gateway_ip attribute, OpenStack Networking allocates an address from the CIDR for the gateway for the subnet.

To specify a subnet without a gateway, set the gateway_ip attribute to null in the request body. If you do not specify the allocation_pools attribute, OpenStack Networking automatically allocates pools for covering all IP addresses in the CIDR, excluding the address reserved for the subnet gateway. Otherwise, you can explicitly specify allocation pools as shown in the following example.

When you specify both the allocation_pools and gateway_ip attributes, you must ensure that the gateway IP does not overlap with the specified allocation pools; otherwise a 409 Conflict error occurs.

A subnet can have one or more name servers and host routes. Hosts in this subnet use the specified name servers. Devices with IP addresses from this subnet, not including the local subnet route, use the specified host routes.

Specify the ipv6_ra_mode and ipv6_address_mode attributes to create subnets that support IPv6 configurations, such as Stateless Address Autoconfiguration (SLAAC), DHCPv6 Stateful, and DHCPv6 Stateless configurations.

This operation does not accept a request body.

PUT
/v2.0/ports/​{port_id}​
Update port

Updates a specified port.

 

You can update information for a port, such as its symbolic name and associated IPs. When you update IPs for a port, any previously associated IPs are removed, returned to the respective subnets allocation pools, and replaced by the IPs specified in the body for the update request. Therefore, this operation replaces the fixed_ip attribute when it is specified in the request body. If the updated IP addresses are not valid or are already in use, the operation fails and the existing IP addresses are not removed from the port.

When you update security groups for a port and the operation succeeds, any associated security groups are removed and replaced by the security groups specified in the body for the update request. Therefore, this operation replaces the security_groups attribute when you specify it in the request body. However, if the specified security groups are not valid, the operation fails and the existing security groups are not removed from the port.

Request parameters
Parameter Style Type Description
port_id URI csapi:UUID The UUID for the port of interest to you.
port plain xsd:dict

A port object.

name (Optional) plain xsd:string

A symbolic name for the port.

admin_state_up (Optional) plain xsd:bool

The administrative status of the port, which is up (true) or down (false).

tenant_id (Optional) plain csapi:uuid

The ID of the tenant who owns the network. Only administrative users can specify a tenant ID other than their own. You cannot change this value through authorization policies.

mac_address (Optional) plain xsd:string

The MAC address. If you specify an address that is not valid, a Bad Request (400) status code is returned. If you do not specify a MAC address, OpenStack Networking tries to allocate one. If a failure occurs, a Service Unavailable (503) status code is returned.

fixed_ips (Optional) plain xsd:dict

If you specify only a subnet ID, OpenStack Networking allocates an available IP from that subnet to the port. If you specify both a subnet ID and an IP address, OpenStack Networking tries to allocate the specified address to the port.

subnet_id (Optional) plain csapi:uuid

If you specify only a subnet ID, OpenStack Networking allocates an available IP from that subnet to the port. If you specify both a subnet ID and an IP address, OpenStack Networking tries to allocate the specified address to the port.

ip_address (Optional) plain xsd:string

If you specify both a subnet ID and an IP address, OpenStack Networking tries to allocate the specified address to the port.

One or more security group IDs.

network_id plain csapi:uuid

The ID of the network.

allowed_address_pairs (Optional) plain xsd:dict

A set of zero or more allowed address pairs. An address pair contains an IP address and MAC address.

ip_address (Optional) plain xsd:string

The IP address of an allowed address pair.

mac_address (Optional) plain xsd:string
