[jira] [Created] (CLOUDSTACK-3026) 8.1.7. Configure the network bridges needs better introduction

Ron Wheeler created CLOUDSTACK-3026:
---------------------------------------

             Summary: 8.1.7. Configure the network bridges needs better introduction
                 Key: CLOUDSTACK-3026
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CLOUDSTACK-3026
             Project: CloudStack
          Issue Type: Improvement
      Security Level: Public (Anyone can view this level - this is the default.)
          Components: Install and Setup
    Affects Versions: 4.1.0
         Environment: CentOS
            Reporter: Ron Wheeler
            Priority: Minor


Section 8.1.7. Configure the network bridges has a big note about reading it carefully but it needs a small bit of amplification.

"In order to forward traffic to your instances you will need at least two bridges: public and private." could have a sentence that describes why 2 bridges and what the difference between public and private traffic or a reference to another part of the documentation where these are discussed.

In section "8.1.7.1. Network example", it says
There are many ways to configure your network. In the Basic networking mode you should have two (V)LAN's, one for your private network and one for the public network.
But then goes on to describe THREE VLANs not two.

It then goes on to say
"On VLAN 100 we give the Hypervisor the IP-Address 192.168.42.11/24 with the gateway 192.168.42.1 " without any discussion about why 192.168.42.x was chosen and how this relates to any existing private networks that already exist.
A network diagram would be helpful if it showed how the author is supposing the physical machine in attached to the Internet in his imaginary datacenter and how the VLANs fit in.
