Creating network (nova client)

1. Issue the following command.

   Create network with nova request

   $ nova network-create <network_label> <cidr>
   

   Positional arguments:

   • network_label. The network label, such as new_network,

   • cidr. The IP block from which to allocate, such as 192.168.0.0/24 or 2001:DB8::/64.

   The operation returns the CIDR, ID, and label for the new network, as shown in the following output.
