Public bug reported:
Ubuntu: 20.04
OpenStack: Ussuri
Networking: OVN (20.03.x)
Network topology:
Geneve overlay network for project networks, router has snat disabled
and the project network and the external network are all in the same
address scope and subnet pool. OVN routers are simply acting as L3
routers and instances on the project network can be directly accessed by
the address assigned to their port (with appropriate route configuration
in the outside of openstack world).
Issue:
Its possible to create and then associate a floating IP on the external
network with an instance attached to the project network - however this
does not work - access to the instance via the FIP is broken, as is
access to its fixed IP (when this worked OK before).
Thoughts:
The concept of a FIP is very much NAT centric, and in the described
configuration NAT is very much disabled. This idea seems to have worked
way back in icehouse, however does not work at Ussuri. If this is not a
supported network model, the association of the FIP to the instance
should error with an appropriate message that NAT is not supported to
the in-path router to the external network.
