I am following the steps described here:

http://docs.openstack.org/cactus/openstack-compute/admin/content/associating-public-ip.html

I was able to create a floating network and associate a public address
to an instance:

Let's say my public address is xxx,xxx,xx.170.

nova-manage floating create xxx,xxx,xx.170/32

and I was also able to ping xxx.xxx.xx.170 from the host.


my br100 is 10.0.1.1 with is attached to eth0.

my eth1 which is the public_interface shows the new assigned public ip
address.


# nova-manage network list
network           	netmask        	start address  	DNS
10.0.1.0/24       	255.255.255.0  	10.0.1.2       	8.8.4.4
# nova-manage floating list
Command failed, please check log for more info

not sure why floating list is not working:

==========================================

Then I try this:


iptables -A nova-network-OUTPUT -d xxx.xxx.xx.170/32 -j DNAT
- --to-destination 10.0.1.1

I get the following in dmesg:
ip_tables: DNAT target: only valid in nat table, not filter

# iptables -L nova-network-OUTPUT
Chain nova-network-OUTPUT (1 references)
target     prot opt source               destination
#



I need some help with the NAT rules. I am assuming as I haven't setup
the NAT rules that is why I can't access this vm from outside.
Also how can I have a pool of floating ip addresses and get them
assigned when the instances are booting up?

thanks.

I am using cactus.
