Dear Daniel,

I'm working at a company that has published an article on this subject.

Hope it will help you,

Hi all,

I've slowly been configuring a single server with OpenStack for a proof-of-concept I want 
to present to my managers. This single server is co-located and directly exposed to the 
Internet. It has one active Ethernet port (eth0) and one inactive and disconnected 
Ethernet port (eth1). I've already set up br100 over eth0 (I was using KVM on this 
machine previously, so bridging was already set up). This machine has an entire class 
"C" IPv4 network (256 IPs) available to it.

I have both Keystone and Glance in place so far. I'm now working on configuring 
Nova, specifically nova-network. For this PoC there's no need to get into the 
(perceived) complexities of Quantum, though Quantum will eventually be a big 
selling point, I believe.

I'm not yet sure of how to configure this server for networking. I want VMs to be assigned public 
IPs from my pool, but also be on an internal network (albeit all on the one server). I've read 
"Libvirt Flat Networking" and "Libvirt Flat DHCP Networking" as well as many 
other pages pertaining to nova-network configuration. I know this should be a simple setup, but the 
various pages have done more to confuse me than anything else.

My /etc/network/interfaces is similar to that on the "Libvirt Flat Networking" 
page, except I'm using static setup for the bridge as I've assigned an IP from my network 
to the server. So it looks more like this:

auto lo
iface lo inet loopback
     pre-up iptables-restore < /etc/iptables.up.rules

auto eth0
iface eth0 inet manual

auto br100
iface br100 inet static
     network 204.187.138.0
     gateway 204.187.138.1
     address 204.187.138.2
     broadcast 204.187.138.255
     netmask 255.255.255.0
     bridge_ports eth0
     bridge_stp off
     bridge_fd 0
     bridge_maxwait 0

So after all that, how best should I configure nova-network on this single 
server? I appreciate any guidance in advance, and am more than willing to 
answer any questions to clarify my setup or intentions.

Thanks!
Daniel
