Hi Sebastien If you want to create a Guest Instance with a specific IP then you have to use the API to create it, and not the GUI.
Hopefully the ability to assign via the GUI will come along soon as it is a much request feature Regards Geoff -----Original Message----- From: sebastien goasguen [mailto:run...@gmail.com] Sent: 11 May 2012 20:00 To: cloudstack-users@incubator.apache.org Subject: Re: use an existing network Thanks Geoff, I read your blog entries, including: http://www.shapeblue.com/2012/05/01/cloudstack-networking-considerations/ They are quite nice. I will try to setup a basic networking zone, without security groups. I should be able to do this without using the API, right ? It would be nice to be able to enter a fixed IP network for guests within the gui. Instead of dealing with ranged network. In opennebula you can specify a list of IP/MAC pairs that can be leased for the VMs. Best, -sebastien On Fri, May 11, 2012 at 11:53 AM, Geoff Higginbottom <geoff.higginbot...@shapeblue.com> wrote: > Hi Sebastien > > What you describe can be achieved, but CloudStack will always allocate an IP > to a VM. > > It is possible to create a new Network Offering without DHCP, but you still > need CloudStack to allocate an IP to the Guest instance so it can manage it. > > There is a blog article on www.shapeblue.com cover this on an advanced > network but the concepts are the same. > > I would recommend setting an exclusion range on your DHCP server then setting > this as the guest range in CloudStack. > > You also need to create a Zone using Basic Networking but without security > groups, so you will need to cancel the wizard and create it manually from the > infrastructure tab and ensure you choose no security groups, this will place > all your guest instances directly onto your network. > > Regards > > Geoff > CTO > ShapeBlue Ltd > > > On 11 May 2012, at 15:03, "sebastien goasguen" <run...@gmail.com> wrote: > > Hi, > > I want to deploy a very basic CS infrastructure. > I have a single physical network (basic lan).
