Unfortunately the blog article referenced has a few errors in it so could be 
confusing, you might want to take a look at the following

Hi,

Create advanced isolated network.
In advanced isolated network VMs gets internal ip address from the virtual 
router DHCP ip address. On network you can acquire public ip address which get 
configured on the VR.
To the reach VMs from the public side you can configure the either port 
forwarding or static nat rules along with firewall rules on the public ip 
address.

Please refer the following

Thanks,
Jayapal

 Hi Ilya/List

 https://cwiki.apache.org/CLOUDSTACK/cloudstack-advanced-network-tutor
 ial-s

 and was wondering If I could get some information from you(or anybody
 else who can contribute).

 I want a setup where by instances are brought up with a Public IP and
 an Internal IP for communication with other instances both got from
 DHCP running on a physical gateway.

 In terms of networking with xen(preferably) or vcenter what
 networking is required?

 I'm assuming I'll need the following:

 Management Network
 Cloudstack Manager
 Hypervisor
 Storage

 Guest Network (Instance gets some private IP supplied by DHCP on
 physical gateway) Hypervisor

 Public Network (Instance gets some public IP supplied by DHCP on
 physical gateway) Hypervisor

 Is it just a matter of
 1) Creating a network offering as described here:
 http://blog.remibergsma.com/2012/03/10/howto-create-a-network-in-clou
 dstac
 k-without-a-virtual-router/
 2) Creating a public and guest network within the zone
 3) Creating matching labels for the public and guest networks in xen
 pointing to the uuid of the network cards

 I think what is tripping me up the most is the IP address space
 required for a pod. I understand a pod contains hosts and primary
 storage so am I correct in thinking that my pod address space in the
 above outlined configuration would just be some addresses within the
 address space given to management network?

 Thanks,
 Ian

Thanks for the replies guys.

@Abhi - Cool, its non-gsoc related so don't want to spend too much
time at it. Just felt I should learn more about Cloudstack within my
spare time(weekends) outside of its code base and user authentication
methods. Think I nearly have it working the way I want, there's the
odd terms that confuse me a little so I might take you up on your IM
offer.
