Add two interfaces:

• 172.16.0.254 with mask 255.255.0.0
• 10.0.0.1 with mask 255.0.0.0

3. Create virtual operation system

Create new instance with name OpenStack-Essex
Add interfaces:

• Virtual Host Only Adapter #2 – eth0
• Virtual Host Only Adapter #3 – eth1
• Nat – eth2

Setup instance:

• 3Gb operational memory
• 15Gb disk size
• 4 VCPU

Run instance and select ubuntu-12.4-server-amd64.iso

4. Install Ubuntu Server 64-bit

Select in installation steps

• select eth2 as primary interface
• entire disk
• no proxy
• no automatic updates
• OpenSSH – enabled
• install the GRUB boot loader – yes

5. Update Ubuntu Server 64-bit

Login to the ubuntu and type:

sudo bash
apt-get update
apt-get dist-upgrade

6. Setup networks

Change interfaces file

sudo bash
nano /etc/network/interfaces

Insert text

The loopback network interface

auto lo iface lo inet loopback

#Primary interface NAT interface auto eth0 iface eth0 inet dhcp

#public interface � The API village auto eth1 iface eth1 inet static address 172.16.0.1 netmask 255.255.0.0 network 172.16.0.0 broadcast 172.16.255.255

#Private Vlan Land of Compute Nodes auto eth2 iface eth2 inet manual up ifconfig eth2 up

Restart the networking service

/etc/init.d/networking restart

After restart you could connect to the virtual machine by putty,
use the 172.16.0.1 address and 22 port
