Why is floating IP listed as private in nova list?

Asked by Erik Bergenholtz

I'm using nova-network, FlatDHCP. Connectivity is all fine.

I've created a floating ip pool range (172.18.3.25/27). However when I do a "nova list", I get:

+--------------------------------------+------+--------+----------------------------------+
| ID | Name | Status | Networks |
+--------------------------------------+------+--------+----------------------------------+
| 19a82460-1a15-473f-ae5a-87cdf16e0f67 | sdf | ACTIVE | private=192.168.32.2, 172.18.3.2 |

Note that the private Networks field lists both fixed and floating as private. I was expecting to see:

private=192.168.32.2, public=172.18.3.2

Any thoughts on how to make this happen. The 172 address is publicly available, but not listed as such.

Just realized that floating ip does not necessarily mean public and they are independent concepts...
