Openstack public IP example

os_pub_ip

I've got a floating ip configured and associated with my instance:

zak@logging:~$ nova floating-ip-list
+------------+--------------------------------------+-------------+------+
| Ip         | Instance Id                          | Fixed Ip    | Pool |
+------------+--------------------------------------+-------------+------+
| 10.10.11.1 | e5e3bf5f-37fb-426b-8d97-1bcb600d0505 | 192.168.3.2 | nova |
+------------+--------------------------------------+-------------+------+

root@logging:~# nova-manage floating list | head -1
c5039c683ff8486c8944f7d2a7145497	10.10.11.1	e5e3bf5f-37fb-426b-8d97-1bcb600d0505	nova	eth0

which I can successfully connect to:

zak@logging:~$ ssh 10.10.11.1 "hostname"
test

However, nova doesn't seem to 'recognize it' as a public IP address:

zak@logging:~$ nova ssh test
ERROR: No public addresses found for 'test'.

Interestingly enough, I can't ping google.com or access any outside hosts from the guest with the floating ip assigned. DNS still resolves, but traceroutes don't get past the first hop (192.168.3.1 on the hypervisor).

Turns out the the connectivity issue was just the router's netmask. I'm still unsure of how to get nova to recognize my IP as 'public. ' I tried grepping through the installed python client libs for the error message, but I'm probably looking on the wrong side of the API.

Creating a pool called 'public' had no effect either:

zak@logging:~$ nova floating-ip-create public
+------------+-------------+----------+--------+
| Ip         | Instance Id | Fixed Ip | Pool   |
+------------+-------------+----------+--------+
| 10.10.12.1 | None        | None     | public |
+------------+-------------+----------+--------+

zak@logging:~$ nova add-floating-ip test 10.10.12.1

zak@logging:~$ nova ssh test
ERROR: No public addresses found for 'test'.

I have looked at this:

zak@logging:~$ nova ssh -h
usage: nova ssh [--port PORT] [--private] [--ipv6] [--login <login>]
                [-i IDENTITY]
                <server>

SSH into a server.

Positional arguments:
  <server>              Name or ID of server.

Optional arguments:
  --port PORT           Optional flag to indicate which port to use for ssh.
                        (Default=22)
  --private             Optional flag to indicate whether to use private
                        address attached to an instance. (Default=False)
  --ipv6                Optional flag to indicate whether to use an IPv6
                        address attached to an instance. (Defaults to IPv4
                        address)
  --login <login>       Login to use.
  -i IDENTITY, --identity IDENTITY
                        Private key file, same as the -i option to the ssh
                        command.

And tried --private, specifying the uuid, and specifying the key
