Packet.net networking for opennebula host
Our need is to setup opennebula in packet.net, so we have a server for both opennebula-frontend and opennebula-host.
We have a local working server for opennbula-host with openvswitch. But in packet.net we tried normal linux bridge(brctl) and we face some problem in creating virtual machines, because of networking.
OS : Ubuntu-14.04(trusty)
Host IP : 192.168.1.100
Additional IPs : 192.168.2.96/29
NOTE: Actually we have public ips, but for security issues i documented with local ips. Usually, when we create a server in packet.net, they will give you a single IP, then we need to request them for additional IPs.
After trying many configuration, we succeed with the following configurations,
NOTE: Use chattr -i /etc/network/interfaces to make the file writable.

Thats it for opennebula host server’s network configuration.
Now launch a vm from opennebula
VM’s network configuration
root@t2:~# cat /etc/network/interfaces
auto lo
iface lo inet loopback
auto eth0
iface eth0 inet static
address 192.168.2.98
network 192.168.2.96
netmask 255.255.255.248
gateway 192.168.2.97
VM’s routing table
root@t2:~# route
Kernel IP routing table
Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric Ref Use Iface
default 192.168.2.97 0.0.0.0 UG 0 0 0 eth0
192.168.2.96 * 255.255.255.248 U 0 0 0 eth0
ip route

default via 192.168.2.97 dev eth0
192.168.2.96/29 dev eth0 proto kernel scope link src 192.168.2.98
Now i can connect with my vm from anywhere.
