Microstack/Openstack VMs access on public/physical network

Question

I'm new to openstack tech. need suggestions to implement. Apology if I have used an non tech. language as networks are not my core domain.

Problem:

I'm not able to access my vm's out of virtual microstack network on my physical network even after adding floating IPs; On ping I get packet filtered.

Trying to attach my VLAN created on cisco switch so all vms can take address or IPs from that vlan.

• How can i configure vlan created on switch so I can connect VMs on public network; Is it possible via Horizon portal using network type VLAN, GRE if so kindly guide me to add correct configurations

• Any other suggestion or way so I can access my VMs on public network too.

What I have achieved up till now :

• deployment of openstack via microstack
• Adding compute nodes
• accessing internet on VMs
• Inter VM communication on same network
• connection out side virtual network using flat network types by creating bridge on same node

Thanks in advance !

Answer 1

I've written an article that presents an approach for implementing MicroStack Single Node with connectivity between VMs and physical network. Please have a look and see if it works for you.

This is the link to the article:

Answer 2

Are you deploying on a virtual or physical network, is you explain your deployment infrastructure that would make lots simple to point out the connectivity solution
