Hello Mike,
The main reason why floating IP addresses are not working in my video is
that I used VirtualBox 4.2.
To support floating IP addresses, first of all, you need to pre-create a
network which supports floating IP addresses,
and this floating IP network should support public network connection,
although it might not be mandatory.
I used VirtualBox 4.2 and NAT functionality in VirtualBox, and the
configuration for floating IP addresses are rather difficult in
VirtualBox 4.2 environment.
(Of course, I can pre-create floating IP addresses using another
technique, but it is so difficult to put all the things in one video.)
I had experiences that floating IP addresses are working well using
VirtualBox 4.3.
But for this environment, you really need to configure FLOATING_RANGE
and PUBLIC_NETWORK_GATEWAY options.
When you configure FLOATING_RANGE, you also configure subnet because the
configuration example would be
'FLOATING_RANGE=10.0.100.128/25'.
PUBLIC_NETWORK_GATEWAY is the gateway address you already had such as
'PUBLIC_NETWORK_GATEWAY=10.0.100.1'.
Neutron, and even DevStack does not create any public network gateway.
So, to summarize,
: All the required information for floating IP address range: IP
address, subnet, and gateway are configured using those two options.
: You need to pre-create floating IP addresses before you install DevStack.
And yes. I wrongly pasted from the localrc file URL. Thank you!
Thanks,
/Ian

Thank you, Ian. I watched your videos. You pointed out that the
floating IP addresses are not working well for you. Other people,
such as Salvatore Orlando in another reply to my question, have
claimed that floating IP addresses will work. I would like to have
the floating IP addresses working well for me.
In one of my replies to Salvatore I said that I am not picky. Perhaps
I have one unusual requirement: I do not want to install OpenStack in
a VirtualBox VM. I want to install OpenStack on a bare metal machine,
and I want to install OpenStack in a VM made by somebody else's
OpenStack installation.
I noticed that you did not discuss the setting of FLOATING_RANGE and
PUBLIC_NETWORK_GATEWAY. I suspect that, in order for floating IP
addresses to work correctly, the settings of these need to bear some
particular relationship to the host's IP address, netmask, and
gateway. And I wonder whether PUBLIC_NETWORK_GATEWAY describes a
pre-existing gateway or one that DevStack will create.
I am attempting only a single-node install. I prefer to use Ubuntu
14.04 on the host. I want DevStack to install the latest code from
the "master" branch.
I think there was a copy-and-paste error on the short URL for your
localrc; I presume you meant http://goo.gl/OeOGqL--- as in your video.
Thanks,
Mike
