[SL] Use James' approach as described below, except with a single network interface on each instance. The OS inside the instance will see a single IP address (a private address from the tenant network), but a floating IP address can be associated with the instance. You'll probably need to implement split DNS (so that instances on the tenant network will resolve the address from the tenant network's subnet while external systems will resolve the floating IP address). Even so, you could run into problems if the application running on those instances needs to report an IP address to other systems; it will report the private address, which may not be accessible by the other system. > Thanks, > Mike > > > >> From: James Denton <[email protected]> >> To: Mike Spreitzer/Watson/IBM@IBMUS, openstack >> <[email protected]> >> Date: 04/08/2015 07:04 PM >> Subject: Re: [Openstack] [neutron] how to use multiple external networks? >> >> >> >> Hi Mike, >> >> With those requirements, I think dual-homing the instances may be the >> best approach. >> >> In my mind, you would have 5 networks: >> >> A - External Network 1 >> B - External Network 2 >> C - Tenant Network 1 >> D - Tenant Network 2 >> E - Shared Tenant Network (No gateway) >> >> Because routers can only connect to one external network at a time, and a >> tenant network can only be connected to one router at a time, you would >> need two routers: >> >> Router 1 >> Router 2 >> >> You would connect them as follows: >> >> External Network 1 <-> Router 1 <-> Tenant Network 1 >> External Network 2 <-> Router 2 <-> Tenant Network 2 >> >> The VMs would then connect as follows: >> >> Tenant Network 1 <-> VM1 <-> Shared Network >> Tenant Network 2 <-> VM2 <-> Shared Network >> >> With no gateway set on the shared network, you won't have to worry about >> multiple default routes, nor do you need to worry about terminating that >> network off a router.
