Apologies for the late response. None of the virtual routers I have spun up have ever been on the management network. I haven't dug into it too deeply but from what I can gather based on the vNICs assigned the management server has the host backdoor in through the link-local address and issues commands that way.

Is this correct ? How is management server supposed to talk to VR in this case ?

Public Nw -> Traffic sent to this network will be sent to publicly routable network Private Nw -> Internal traffic between XS hosts, system vms Guest Nw -> Internal traffic between guest vms of an account Basic Zone: VR -> SS VM -> CP VM -> Basic Zone with EIP/ELB: VR -> SS VM -> CP VM -> Advanced Zone: VR -> SS VM -> CP VM -> e.g. in all the three cases VR has a vif in all the three networks. VR -> public, private, guest Please add or correct if I missed anything. Thanks, Deepak
