@ -26,8 +26,15 @@ The network presented by the subport is the network of the associated
port. When creating a subport, a ``segmentation-id`` may be required by
the driver. ``segmentation-id`` defines the segmentation ID on which the
subport network is presented to the instance. ``segmentation-type`` may be
required by certain drivers like OVS, although at this time only ``vlan`` is
supported as a ``segmentation-type``.
required by certain drivers like OVS. At this time the following
``segmentation-type`` values are supported:
* ``vlan`` uses VLAN for segmentation.
* ``inherit`` uses the ``segmentation-type`` from the network the subport
is connected to if no ``segmentation-type`` is specified for the subport.
Note that using the ``inherit`` type requires the ``provider`` extension
to be enabled and only works when the connected network's
``segmentation-type`` is ``vlan``.
