In the official Liberty install-guide it is written to configure the interfaces like this :

Configure the first interface as the management interface:

     IP address: 10.0.0.11

     Network mask: 255.255.255.0 (or /24)

     Default gateway: 10.0.0.1

The public interface uses a special configuration without an IP address assigned to it. Configure the second interface as the public interface:

# The public network interface
auto INTERFACE_NAME
iface  INTERFACE_NAME inet manual
up ip link set dev $IFACE up
down ip link set dev $IFACE down

How can we establish connection to internet with interface like this , with NO IP ADDRESS ?

My first interface is host-only interface and the second i tryed with NAT and with bridged but is not working. I can not access the internet .

Can someone help me understand how can i access the internet without an IP address :D ?

You need to configure bridge as you cannot use the physical interface /ethernet interface to communicate with openstack, Either use the linux bridge or openvswitch to achive this , You can follow this post for more information.

I have liberty installation with openvswitch http://docs.openstack.org/liberty/net...

br-ex is ovs bridge with external ip address

physical interface eth0 has no ip address
