> Key: CLOUDSTACK-4152
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CLOUDSTACK-4152
> Project: CloudStack
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Security Level: Public(Anyone can view this level - this is the default.)
> Components: Doc
> Affects Versions: 4.1.1
> Environment: all
> Reporter: Ron Wheeler
> Priority: Blocker
> Labels: networking
>
> Networking seems to be the biggest problem that new users have in getting started.
> 1) This page needs some diagrams to make it easier to understand what is being described.
> There are some magical statements or statements about something that the administrator must do with no reference to a section describing how to do it or when it must be done.
> 2) CIDR is used without any definition or explanation.
> 3) The user is told that IP addresses need to be allocated without any suggestion of how this is done. This needs to be clarified.
> 4) It might be useful to split this page into at least 2 pages - Basic and Advanced.
> In the Basic, it would be helpful to describe in some detail the most common test or small organization environments.
> The audience here is a system administrator that has a broad but not too deep knowledge of networking.
> Someone with 2-5 servers behind a simple firewall with 1-5 public IP addresses. I suggest writing the first draft for a person with 1 public IP address behind a simple firewall and see how hard it is to extend that to multiple public IPs without getting into an advanced setup.
> The Advanced is more complex but it is also easier to describe since you can assume that the audience is a network administrator who has a lot more in-depth knowledge of networing, routers, VLANs, etc.
