NIC and OpenStack integration

In order to demonstrate the integration of the NIC project with OpenStack, you have to set up the OpenStack environment installing an Ubuntu server 14.04+ on a VM using VirtualBox 4.3+ (preferably 4 core, 32 GB NIC interfaces).

Getting ready

Once you have OpenStack set up on your machine and VirtualBox installed, you are ready to start the configuration.

How to do it...

Perform the following steps:

1. Install Ubuntu 14.04+ server.
2. Configure the IP address and the gateway for your two NIC interfaces. One interface should be an NAT address while the other one should be attached on the host-only adapter and be on the same network as your host.
3. Configure the required environment variables and proxies:

--[cut]--
export http_proxy= {YOUR_HTTP_PROXY}
export https_proxy= {YOUR_HTTP_PROXY}
export ftp_proxy= {YOUR_FTP_PROXY}
export no_proxy=localhost,127.0.0.1,{IP of host}
--[cut]--

4. Update /etc/apt/apt.conf with the proxy detail:

--[cut]--
Acquire::http::proxy "YOUR_PROXY";
--[cut...
