This is to inform you that the upcoming feature story “Generalized interface and network configuration” will impact system setup.

A review will be posted shortly.

For more background information, please refer to the Story:    https://storyboard.openstack.org/#!/story/2003087

The following describes the user interface changes for interface and network configuration.

• Network CLI commands
  • The parameters mtu, link_capacity and vlan_id are removed from the network table
  • New network-add and network-delete

usage: system network-add <network_name> <network type> <dynamic> <pool_uuid>

Add a network.

Positional arguments:

  <network_name>  Name of network [REQUIRED]

  <network type>  Type of network [REQUIRED]

  <pool_uuid>     The uuid of the address pool [REQUIRED]

usage: system network-delete <network_uuid>

Delete a network

Positional arguments:

  <network_uuid>  UUID of network entry

• Interface CLI commands
  • The new interface class parameter replaces the existing networktype parameter.
