Appendix A. Additional Neutron Commands

In the book, we covered core Neutron commands related to building networks, routers, firewalls, and load balancers. Neutron is capable of much more, provided the appropriate extension or plugin is installed. In this appendix, you will find Neutron commands that didn't quite have a home in other chapters or are used in network solutions outside the scope of this book. Commands used to manage the following are discussed in this appendix:

  • VPN-as-a-service
  • Quotas
  • Cisco 1000V
  • VMware NSX / Nicira NVP
