An alternative and possibly easier approach would be as follows: 1. Create Shared Network and allocate the required VLAN (Whilst we are using the Shared Network offering, we can still create what is effectively an isolated network by assigning to an Account, we are simply using this offering as it does not use the VR as the Gateway Device) 2. Use the API to create a VM with the required IP address on the appropriate network. The VR for the network will allocate the IP to the VM via DHCP
This approach ensures CloudStack is aware of the IP the VM should have, and no database 'hacking' is required, but it does use DHCP on the VR and not an external DHCP Server. If you still need to run the external DHCP Server, you could use MAC Filtering to prevent conflicts etc. Regards Geoff Higginbottom D: +44 20 3603 0542 | S: +44 20 3603 0540 | M: +447968161581 geoff.higginbot...@shapeblue.com -----Original Message----- From: Jayapal Reddy Uradi [mailto:jayapalreddy.ur...@citrix.com] Sent: 02 February 2015 08:44 To: <users@cloudstack.apache.org> Subject: Re: How to external IP for Guest Network Hi Keerthi, External dhcp server integration to cloudstack is not there currently. You can try the following: 1. create shared network offering with out dhcp (or with out any service) 2. Create shared network using this offering. Give ip range and vlan same as your dhcp range while creating network.. 3. Configure your external dhcp server . 3. Deploy vm in this network. vm will get the ip from the external dhcp server. 4. Take the ip of the vm ip address from the vm console and update the vm nic ip in nics table ip4_address. 5. Also manually update your dns record for the vm.
