Ports CLI reference¶

See https://docs.openstack.org/ocata/cli-reference/neutron.html.

These commands allow you to manage ports in your cloud environment, including creating, listing, showing details of, updating, and deleting ports. The <port_id_or_name>, <network_id_or_name>, and <security_group_id_or_name> in the commands are placeholders that should be replaced with the actual IDs or names of the ports, networks, and security groups.

List ports¶

Bash

openstack port list

Show port details¶

Bash

openstack port show <port_id_or_name>

Create a port¶

Bash

openstack port create --network <network_id_or_name> <port_name>

Additional options can be specified, such as --fixed-ip ip-address=<ip_address> to assign a specific IP address.

Update a port¶

Bash

openstack port set --fixed-ip ip-address=<new_ip_address> <port_id_or_name>

Other options can be used to update security groups, device owner, or other port attributes.

Delete a port¶

Bash

openstack port delete <port_id_or_name>

Add a security group to a port¶

Bash

openstack port set --security-group <security_group_id_or_name> <port_id_or_name>

Remove a security group from a port¶

Bash

openstack port unset --security-group <security_group_id_or_name> <port_id_or_name>

Bind a port to a host¶

Bash

openstack port set --host <host_id> <port_id_or_name>

This is used to bind the port to a specific host, typically in advanced networking scenarios.
