Basic Openstack Administration Part 3 - creating external/provider network and floating IP

Creating external (provider network) and attaching floating IP

[dondraper]

Which version of Openstack are you using? Now I am working on Pike and the 'Segmentation ID' input box doesn't appear when I choose 'Flat' type which makes sense because segmentation id doesn't matter when using flat(untagged or native vlan) network.

Is it possible to assign the ext-net to the instance when launching instance so that instance gets the IP from the Wi-Fi address range thus enabling the VM to direct access the internet? Is it possible? Please reply

Very nice, really apprecaite it. I have been getting Host or Router not found error . I might have spent a week so far. Now i will follow your videos. One question ::: Is it required to have bridge and Host-only (two networks) on my controller machine?? i am using CentOS as VM. Please let me know if one bridge is enough. i remember you used em1 & em2...

Nice video but not readable. So you have floating ip range from 10.20.20.3-10.20.20.200 and network address What is the subnet ?

Hi Dola, Cannot delete the ext-net which I created while watching the previous video.
It says Error: Failed to delete network
Error: Unable to delete network: ext-net.
Please help to resolve it.

Using the newest version of Openstack. When i click 'create' on network, nothing happends. It's like the GUI is stuck. Anyone else having this problem?
