For multiple machine installation, it requires a switch that supports host-managed vlan tagging. In this mode, nova will create a vlan and bridge for each project. The project gets a range of private ips that are only accessible from inside the vlan. In order for a user to access the instances in their project, a special vpn instance (code named :ref:`cloudpipe <cloudpipe>`) needs to be created. Nova generates a certificate and key for the user to access the vpn and starts the vpn automatically.
