Network Compatibility by Eucalyptus Networking Modes
- Managed
- Layer 2 and 3 VM isolation; uses built-in DHCP service
- Requires a cloud switch to forward a configurable range of VLAN-tagged packets, and requires that any external DHCP service be isolated from Eucalyptus VMs
- Managed (no VLAN)
- Layer 3 VM isolation; uses built-in DHCP service and requires that any external DHCP service be isolated from Eucalyptus VMs.
- Static
- No VM isolation, uses built-in DHCP service for static IP assignment
- Requires that any external DHCP service on the network be isolated from Eucalyptus VMs
- System
- No VM isolation, no automatic address handling
- Uses existing external DHCP
