<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">You no longer require a network type in order to configure an IP address against an interface. Therefore you can setup the ironic provisioning network interface without assigning a specific network to the
interface. Simply set the interface class to ‘platform’ and configure the required IP address.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
