Concerns

This script sets up the network for CloudStack requirements automatically, and it may works only on servers with 1 NIC. 这个脚本只适合服务器是一块网卡的情况

This script sets up network bridges as:

# brctl show
bridge name bridge id               STP enabled     interfaces
cloud0      8000.fe00a9fe0074       no              vnet0
                                                    vnet3
cloudbr0    8000.80ee733704b5       no              eth0
                                                    vnet1
                                                    vnet2
                                                    vnet4
                                                    vnet5
                                                    vnet6
