<p>Thanks for the reply, </p>
<p>So, it *should* be possible to pull in public network(s) over flat/vlan to the VMs WITHOUT NAT, while still using GRE for private networking (two NIC per VM... one public with no NAT, the other private via GRE)?</p>
<p>I guess I'm trying to see if this is even possible - I think it should be, but XenServer is making this more complicated and there are no decent ML2-based XenServer examples out there.</p>
<p>I'm still not sure how to expose a trunk port to a guest to use VLAN networking on the network guest...</p>

<div> </div>
<div>Just for the record, I'm using Flat Networks (very similar with VLAN Provider Networks), with a working Metadata connectivity... Instances get a route to the Metadata network through DHCP, in my case...</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Flat Networks, AFAIK, requires a "dedicated bridge map", using different physical ethernet from the one used by your GRE/VXLAN tunnels...</div>

Or do we need to physically connect and bridge map each flat network on every compute node separately?<span class="HOEnZb"><span style="color: #888888;"><br /><br /> -- <br /> ~Randy<br /><br /> ______________________________<span style="text-decoration: underline;"></span>_________________<br /> Mailing list: <a href="http://lists.openstack.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/openstack">http://lists.openstack.org/<span style="text-decoration: underline;"></span>cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/<span style="text-decoration: underline;"></span>openstack</a><br /> Post to : <a href="mailto:openstack@lists.openstack.org">openstack@lists.openstack.org</a><br /> Unsubscribe : <a href="http://lists.openstack.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/openstack">http://lists.openstack.org/<span style="text-decoration: underline;"></span>cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/<span style="text-decoration: underline;"></span>openstack</a><br /></span></span></blockquote>
