My fixed_range is very small, and doesn't overlap: --fixed_range=192.168.22.32/27 > Second reason - I presume that the traffic from VM will go via your > router if you access another VM via floating IP, > so router should know the route to 192.168.0.x (static/ospf?) 192.168.0.x is the office network, and communication between other machines on that network and the router on that network all work fine. In the course of trying some other things out, I found that when I enabled ipv4 forwarding on the nova-network box: echo 1 >/proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward Then the virtual machines /were/ able to communicate with each-other via their floating IP addresses. I'm still not sure about what's going on, but it's good enough for our lab use now. > > Regards, > > On Fri, Apr 20, 2012 at 7:03 AM, Calvin Walton > <[email protected]> wrote: > Hi, > > I have instances running in Openstack using FlatDHCP > networking mode. > Each one has an IP address in the internal subnet > (192.168.22.x) and a > floating IP from the external subnet (192.168.0.x). > > I've found that from one instance, I cannot connect to another > instance > (or, in fact, even the same instance) via the external > floating address > (I have some monitoring tools that attempt to do this to > verify that a > server is running).
