I have three launched VMs:

root@controller:/home/controller_admin/Desktop# openstack server list
+------------------------+------+--------+-----------------------+------------+
| ID                     | Name | Status | Networks              | Image Name |

+------------------------+------+--------+-----------------------+------------+

Also, I have 4 ports: 1 for DHCP and 3 for VMs:

The problem is I can ping ALL the unassigned IP addresses (e.g. 172.16.0.200 or 172.16.0.250):

root@controller:/home/controller_admin/Desktop# ping 172.16.0.200
PING 172.16.0.200 (172.16.0.200) 56(84) bytes of data.
64 bytes from 172.16.0.200: icmp_seq=1 ttl=248 time=26.6 ms
64 bytes from 172.16.0.200: icmp_seq=2 ttl=248 time=28.2 ms
64 bytes from 172.16.0.200: icmp_seq=3 ttl=248 time=294 ms
64 bytes from 172.16.0.200: icmp_seq=4 ttl=248 time=25.6 ms

Why is it happening? What is going on??

I would start by checking the MAC addresses associated to those IP addresses.

Elaborate please. I can't see the issue with the Mac Addresses.

I cannot understand the network topology. You use flat provider networking? Normally, from controller you need router to connect on vms. Have a layer 3 router configure? About @Bernd suggestion is to check if the reply of ping comes from corrct mac address, you can check with tcpdump or with arp.

Yes my provider is flat. I simply use a physical switch to form the provider network. I dont have any vrouters. I have configured a provider network and one subnet.

Your private subnet (on controller) is 172.16.0.0/24 or something else? Routing table (on controller)?
