Thanks Murali! Your advice has helped me create shared networks but it doesn't
work as I expected. When creating a VM on a shared network, it is not
accessible outside of the Cloudstack Console button. How would I be able to
have VMs on a shared network automatically placed on the Public network? I know
this is possible on an isolated network using source/static NAT but we need the
VMs to be able to communicate with each other on a network that's offered
globally to all users.
Here are the configurations I have:
Each server has 2 nics. I have divided up communications as follows:
Eth0: Public and Guest
Eth1: Storage and Management
Switch:
VLAN 1: "Public"
VLAN 2: "Guest"
VLAN 3: "Storage/Management" - All ports thi
Public (VLAN1) is UNTAGGED on the following ports:
1: the cloudstack server
Public (VLAN1) is TAGGED on the following ports:
3: Host 1
5: Host 2
7: Host 3
9: Host 4
15: Link to office switch (which doesn't have any VLANs
configured)
Guest (VLAN2) is TAGGED on the following ports:
3: Host 1
5: Host 2
7: Host 3
9: Host 4
Storage/Management (VLAN3) is UNTAGGED on the following ports:
2: Host 1
4: Host 2
6: Host 3
8: Host 4
10: SAN
11: SAN
12: SAN
13: SAN
14: ASA
The office's network is on CIDR 192.168.0.0/24. I have configured the Public
network to use VLAN ID 1 and use the same CIDR as the office network
(192.168.0.0/24)
I can get static NAT working with isolated networks by not tagging the public
VLAN on the switch and configuring the Public network to be untagged.
Unfortunately it seems shared networking requires VLAN tagging so I tried
tagging both the Public network and the corresponding Public VLAN on the switch
with VLAN ID 1 but that didn't seem to work.
I would like to have VMs within a shared network available directly through the
office network (192.168.0.0/24). Anyone know how this could be accomplished? I
have learned a lot about networking through using CloudStack but am definitely
no network engineer.

Figured it out! I needed to create a Guest Network by going to Infrastructure >
Zones > Zone Name > Physical Network > Guest Network >Network Tab

I created and enabled a Network Offering with Guest Type "Shared." it does not
show as an option when creating a Guest Network. Only Network Offerings with
Guest Type "Isolated" are shown. An empty list is shown when creating a new
Guest Network after disabling all Network Offerings with Guest Type "Isolated."
I am using Advanced Networking.

You could disable all network offerings with 'isolated' guest traffic type, and
create shared networks and make them available to all users.
