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

<tt><font size="2">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.</font></tt>
<br>
<br>
<tt><font size="2">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.</font></tt>
<br>
<br>
<tt><font size="2">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.</font></tt>
<br>
<br>
<tt><font size="2">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.</font></tt>
<br>

short
URL for your localrc; I presume you meant </font></tt><a
