After rebooting server not able to access the floating IP of the instance?

I'm running Openstack Newton, I configured a/c to Openstack documentation. Everything was working fine, I assigned floating IP to instances after that I'm able to ping and ssh into those instances. But after restarting the server I'm not able to ping into those instances( Floating IP was same ). I tried assigning other floating IP but after assigning also, I'm not able to communicate with those instances. External network:192.168.1.0/24 Internal network:10.10.11.0/24

Please help me resolve this issue!

Did your instance retrain the internal network ip after reboot?

What is your configuration? Which server did you restart? A few simple checks: Are all services and network agents running? Any errors in the L3 agent log(s)?

Can you try to launch a cirros instance and log into it from the web console and see if you can communicate to the internet. For example ping 8.8.8.8 or your physical router? If that doesnt work then i would say that there is something wrong with your metadata server that is not giving the ip again after you reboot your instance. I had a similar issue myself and when i was checking the config files again i found out that i made a mistake there. After correcting the mistake everything was normal again.

Small correction: The IP comes from DHCP, not the metadata service.

What changes you made in config files?

I dont remember correctly now what changes i made to my config files because i did that over a year ago but as far as i can remember in my case i forgot to uncomment some config lines that had to do with the metadata service. if you could post in here your neutron logs so i could take a look

@Bernd Bausch off course IP comes from the DHCP service, but if the metadata server is not working your vm wont get the ip address. DCHP allocates the IP and then metadata writes it to the VM's network config files.
