Setup Requirements
==================

Network Requirements
--------------------

Minimum 2 Networks:

-   One for the administrative network with gateway to access the Internet
-   One for the OpenStack public network to access OpenStack instances via
    floating IPs

JOID supports multiple isolated networks for data as well as storage based on
your network requirement for OpenStack.

No DHCP server should be up and configured. Configure gateways only on eth0 and
eth1 networks to access the network outside your lab.
