<para>Use the &APIv2; to manage the following entities:<itemizedlist>

isolated virtual layer-2 domain. A network can
also be a virtual, or logical, switch. See <xref

version 4 or version 6 address block from which IP
addresses that are assigned to VMs on a specified
network are selected. See <xref linkend="subnet"

<para><emphasis role="bold">Port</emphasis>. A
virtual, or logical, switch port on a specified
network. See <xref linkend="Port"/>.</para>
</listitem>

<para>These entities have auto-generated unique identifiers and

<title>Network</title>
<para>A network is an isolated virtual layer-2 broadcast
domain that is typically reserved for the tenant who
created it unless you configure the network to be shared.
Tenants can create multiple networks until the thresholds
per-tenant quota is reached.</para>
<para>In the &APIv2;, the network is the main entity. Ports
and subnets are always associated with a network.</para>

<title>Subnet</title>
<para>A subnet represents an IP address block that can be used
to assign IP addresses to virtual instances. Each subnet
must have a CIDR and must be associated with a network.
IPs can be either selected from the whole subnet CIDR or
from allocation pools that can be specified by the
user.</para>
<para>A subnet can also optionally have a gateway, a list of
dns name servers, and host routes. This information is
pushed to instances whose interfaces are associated with
the subnet.</para>

<para>A port represents a virtual switch port on a logical
network switch. Virtual instances attach their interfaces
into ports. The logical port also defines the MAC address
and the IP address(es) to be assigned to the interfaces
plugged into them. When IP addresses are associated to a
port, this also implies the port is associated with a
subnet, as the IP address was taken from the allocation
pool for a specific subnet.</para>
