This command adds a provider to the physical network; an entry to physical_network_service_providers table. This just registers that the physical network will support this provider. For the actual implementation of the provider, you need to add a NetworkElement to components.xml and also add it to the com.cloud.network.Network.Provider list.

It doesn't mean add a new implementation of network service provider. I felt the name was confusing as well but was told that's how we start any api where we create an instance. --Alex > -----Original Message----- > From: Frank Zhang [mailto:frank.zh...@citrix.com] > Sent: Tuesday, May 08, 2012 1:53 PM > To: cloudstack-dev@incubator.apache.org > Subject: RE: How to add a PhysicalNetworkServiceProvider > > Then what's AddNetworkServiceProviderCmd.java for? > > > -----Original Message----- > > From: Alex Huang [mailto:alex.hu...@citrix.com] > > Sent: Tuesday, May 08, 2012 1:44 PM > > To: cloudstack-dev@incubator.apache.org > > Subject: RE: How to add a PhysicalNetworkServiceProvider > > > > NetworkServiceProvider is not added through the UI.
