Bases: quantum.api.extensions.ExtensionDescriptor
Extension class supporting provider networks.
This class is used by quantum’s extension framework to make metadata about the provider network extension available to clients. No new resources are defined by this extension. Instead, the existing network resource’s request and response messages are extended with attributes in the provider namespace.
To create a provider VLAN network using the CLI with admin rights:
(shell) net-create –tenant_id <tenant-id> <net-name> –provider:network_type vlan –provider:physical_network <physical-net> –provider:segmentation_id <vlan-id>
With admin rights, network dictionaries returned from CLI commands will also include provider attributes.
