The nova.network.base_api Module

class NetworkAPI(skip_policy_check=False, **kwargs)

Bases: nova.db.base.Base

Base Network API for doing networking operations. New operations available on specific clients must be added here as well.

add_dns_entry(context, address, name, dns_type, domain)

Create specified DNS entry for address.

add_fixed_ip_to_instance(context, instance, network_id)

Adds a fixed IP to instance from specified network.

add_network_to_project(context, project_id, network_uuid=None)

Force adds another network to a project.

allocate_floating_ip(context, pool=None)

Adds (allocate) floating IP to a project from a pool.

allocate_for_instance(context, instance, vpn, requested_networks, macs=None, security_groups=None, dhcp_options=None, bind_host_id=None)

Allocates all network structures for an instance.

Parameters:

• context – The request context.
• instance – nova.objects.instance.Instance object.
• vpn – A boolean, if True, indicate a vpn to access the instance.
• requested_networks – A dictionary of requested_networks, Optional value containing network_id, fixed_ip, and port_id.
• macs – None or a set of MAC addresses that the instance should use. macs is supplied by the hypervisor driver (contrast with requested_networks which is user supplied).
• security_groups – None or security groups to allocate for instance.
• dhcp_options – None or a set of key/value pairs that should determine the DHCP BOOTP response, eg. for PXE booting an instance configured with the baremetal hypervisor. It is expected that these are already formatted for the neutron v2 api. See nova/virt/driver.py:dhcp_options_for_instance for an example.
• bind_host_id – the host ID to attach to the ports being created.

Returns:

network info as from get_instance_nw_info() below
