Neutron networking question with openstack-base

[Liam Young]

Hi Daniel,

Have you set 'ext-port' in the neutron-gateway charm?  ext-port 
specifies the external port the neutron-gateway charm should use for 
routing of instance traffic to the external public network. If eth1 on 
the neutron-gateway is plumbed into 143.207.94.0/24 network then you 
would set it with:

juju set neutron-gateway ext-port=eth1

I'd also take a look at the Network Topology page in the horizon 
dashboard and check that ext_net and your private net are both plumbed 
into your router and that your instances are plumbed into your private 
network. I'm not sure which version of Openstack you are deploying but 
certainly in Icehouse I have seen horizon claim the state of 
network:router_gateway to be 'down' when it is actually working.

Do you see the floating IPs that you have assigned your instance(s) 
listed when you look at the 'Attached Devices' in the detail tab of 
ext_net ?

Also check that when the instance booted DHCP succeeded. You can do this 
through horizon by going to Compute -> Instances -> Click on Instance 
Name -> Log tab. The message you are looking for will differ depending 
on the image you booted the instance from but something like:

ci-info: eth0  : 1 192.168.0.4     255.255.255.0   fa:16:3e:ef:d8:53

or

Lease of 192.168.0.2 obtained, lease time 86400

Thanks,
Liam Young
