I am trying to set up a test installation of Openstack on a Ubuntu 12.04 VM running on a ESXi
server. So far I have been able to launch the VMs on the ESXi, however am unable to assign IP addresses to them. As the VM with the Openstack installation has a single public IP, I wish to assign IPs to the VMs create through Openstack so that they can directly interact with the public network itself without having a separate private network. So I feel that bridging would not be the correct option here. But am unable to find the correct documents to go ahead with such an install.
My ifconfig looks as follows:
eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:0c:29:6f:8a:d7

The eth0 is the adapter that I intend to use for all communication.

192.168.4.167 is my VM with the Openstack installation and 192.168.4.254 is my ESXi
server on which the VM runs.
Can anyone advice me about how to proceed?
Thanks,
Mandar
