Static IP in cloudstack instance

[j3cky]

Hi,
i would like to know if cloudstack support configure static ip in instance.?
i cannot find how to configure static ip,only dhcp.
i would like to create network offering without dhcp service.how can cloudstack configure static ip inside the VM?

I think that would be up to setting up a VLAN then to your outside network, the VRR only does DHCP.

@j3cky
what did you mean static ? do you want to assign a specific IP to the vm ?

[j3cky]

@weizhouapache
yes, after instance deployed example centos 7, we get config in /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0 using dhcp.

BOOTPROTO=dhcp
DEVICE=eth0
HWADDR=02:02:01:66:00:27
ONBOOT=yes
STARTMODE=auto
TYPE=Ethernet
USERCTL=no

is it possible to have it as static ip like this

BOOTPROTO=static
IPADDR=192.168.2.203 #depend on assigned ip when we deploy.
PREFIX=24
DEVICE=eth0
HWADDR=02:02:01:66:00:27
ONBOOT=yes
STARTMODE=auto
TYPE=Ethernet
USERCTL=no

You can make the changes you mentioned, then stop the vm and create a template from its volume.
But all vms created from the template will have the same IP. What's your use case?

[j3cky]

so, we are service provider and if we enable dhcp service then vr wil be created and it will consume compute resources.so we would like to use configdrive but seem it is not support configure network interface to static ip.

@j3cky
there is a work in progress which might be what you want

@weizhouapache thanks for your update.

@j3cky Have you been able to actually set a static ip using a network offering and configdrive?

[j3cky]

@returntrip
no, config drive for ip address still need dhcp service.

yes, Configdrive as dhcp and dns provider
