OpenStack Compute (nova)

Nova-manage network create odd behavior

Asked by Dennis DeMarco

I would like to add Class C of 192.168.1.0/24

I issue the command

nova-manage network create 192.168.1.0/24 1 255

When I do a nova-manage network list I get:

root@nova-cc01:/var/log/nova# nova-manage network list
network netmask start address DNS
192.168.1.0/25 255.255.255.128 192.168.1.2 8.8.4.4

I am not sure exactly why it is doing this

try

nova-manage network create 192.168.1.0/24 1 256

the third parameter is network size. There are 256 addresses in a class c not 255.

ahh man. Thanks. That did the trick. All the documentation had that typo and didn't even spot it.

Ah, great catch. I'll check all the docs for 255 in that command. Oops! Thanks for pointing it out.
