Cloud Quick Start: Difference between revisions

On the ''Instances'' list, are the IP addresses to which your instance is linked. By default, a network on <code>192.168.X.0</code> is created for your tenant (also referred to as a "project" on the OpenStack dashboard).

The list shows your instance's private IP. You can use this IP to communicate with other instances running on the same cloud.

To assign a public IP, you need to select ''Associate Floating IP'' from the ''More'' button of the ''Actions'' column in the ''Instances'' list. If this is your first time through this Quick Start Guide, your tenant hasn't been assigned an external IP address yet. You need to click on the “+” sign to bring up the ''Allocate Floating IP'' dialog box. There is only one pool of public addresses, so the correct pool will already be selected; simply click on the ''Allocate IP'' button.

The ''Manage Floating IP Associations'' screen is displayed, indicating the IP address and the port to which it is [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Network_address_translation NATted]; simply click on the ''Associate'' button.

Finally, click the ''Add'' button.
