VXLAN isolation method does not pass the correct broadcast domain type when creating the vlan public IP range

ISSUE TYPE

• Bug Report

COMPONENT NAME

Zone Creation, Physical network

CLOUDSTACK VERSION

Probably all versions - observed on 4.19.1.2 and 4.20

CONFIGURATION

OS / ENVIRONMENT

SUMMARY

During zone creation, if the isolation method for public traffic is selected as VXLAN, when adding the public IP range and VNI, the broadcast domain type gets passed as VLAN and not VXLAN. Same holds true when creating vlan public IP range (after zone creation) unless 'vxlan://' is explicitly passed in the vni field.

as far as I know, vlan still works in vxlan zone, right ?
if so, I think we can keep current behavior (if vlan/vxlan is not passed then use vlan by default).
otherwise, we need to change all possible form which requires vlan id/vni (create shared network, isolated/l2 with vlanid, private gateway with vlanid) on UI.

Ok.. then we need to atleast add a doc PR to explain that one needs to explicitly pass vxlan:// before the VNI if they want to use VLANs .
Can we not add a dropdown menu to the form and then before sending the request to the backend create the vlan field to have <isolation_method>:// ?

That's a good idea @Pearl1594 . We could have the isolation method selected in the physical network by default, allowing the user to change it from the drop-down list.
