Auto-assign floating ip to instances while creation


I want to auto-assign floating ip's to instances while its creation. I have a self service underlying network in my openstack liberty version. Lots of posts on internet suggest using nova-network where they have a flag : auto_assign_floating_ip= true but its is not possible. I have neutron where my neutron.conf does not have any config flags related to auto assignment of floating ips. I cannot connect instances directly to my public-external network. Instances are connected to internal network which is like : public net--- router--- internal net . Please help!


Solution

  • Auto assigning floating IPs to instances is not possible in neutron and there is no configuration for it in neutron.conf. It is just a nova-network legacy feature.
