Open nebula doesn't force you to get an ip address if you don't want, it just uses the ip address range to create the mac address, you still free to get dhcp addresses any way you like. If you are using linux bridging it will work fine with your dhcp server.<div>

Hi,<br>
<br>
I am trying to setup OpenNebula for our research work.<br>
<br>
For now, we have one machine with a single NIC to experiment with. How<br>
can one configure a guest to use DHCP for getting an IP address? I<br>
know one can specify leases (as described here<br>
<a href="http://opennebula.org/documentation:archives:rel3.0:vgg" target="_blank">http://opennebula.org/documentation:archives:rel3.0:vgg</a>) in the<br>
virtual network template file. However, we do not have access to the<br>
DHCP server, thus it is not possible for us to specify the IPs.<br>
<br>
The solutions suggested here<br>
(<a href="http://lists.opennebula.org/pipermail/users-opennebula.org/2010-November/003349.html" target="_blank">http://lists.opennebula.org/pipermail/users-opennebula.org/2010-November/003349.html</a>)<br>
involves setting up a virtual DHCP server or knowing in advance the IP<br>
ranges. But are there any ways to request IPs from the existing DHCP<br>
server directly?<br>
<br>
Thanks in advance.<br>
Beng Heng<br>
