Hi There

I am trying to setup a flat network without DHCP in neutron. I have got it setup to the point where I can choose between private tenant networks and a shared flat network and if I start a vm on the shared flat network and manually configure the IP then traffic flows and all works as expected.

The problem is that I can't seem to get cloud-init to configure the nic from metadata (provided by config drive). I can see the IP details in the EC2 metadata but I cannot workout how to get cloud-init to actually use it. I cannot use DHCP as it would conflict with existing DHCP (is the office lan using MS DHCP server).

Thanks in advance for any help.

--edit: I realize what I am looking for is how to setup a provider network, still no luck on acutally doing it though
