As per
http://docs.openstack.org/folsom/openstack-network/admin/content/demo_logical_network_config.html
but slightly modified as per CLI help,
quantum net-create ext_net --tenant-id $TENANT_ID --router:external=True
quantum subnet-create --ip_version 4 --allocation-pool start=192.168.2.151,end=192.168.2.240 \
--gateway 192.168.2.253 <id_of_ext_net> 192.168.2.0/24 -- --enable_dhcp=False
It will create ext_net subnet with preallocated IP range. For each VM,
allocate floating IP from this pool and then associate it with the
internal port.
Hope it can helps,
-Sylvain
