So it seems there’s two problems here, correct me if I’m wrong -

1) VM’s getting access to the metadata service

2) VM’s accessible via their floating IP’s from the outside

I would say that (2) is the more important one we need to fix right now. If it’s pingable from the namespace then your overlays (or inter-node communication) and DHCP is working OK. That means that it’s likely the link between the external network bridge and the outside. From the output below, it suggests that you’ve defined your external network as a non-provider network. Therefore, you have to tell the L3 agent the specific bridge it needs to use to route traffic.

In your L3 agent configuration file you’ll have ‘external_network_bridge’ option. This will need to be set to ‘br-ex’ (or the name of your external bridge) for the flows to be set up correctly. If this is blank, you’ll need to recreate your external network as a provider network, and ensure that you have the correct bridge mappings enabled on your Neutron network node.

So I guess my question is this… what is ‘external_network_bridge’ set to in /etc/neutron/l3-agent.ini?

[root at stack-node1 ~]# grep external_network_bridge /etc/neutron/l3_agent.ini 
# When external_network_bridge is set, each L3 agent can be associated
# networks, both the external_network_bridge and gateway_external_network_id
# external_network_bridge = br-ex
external_network_bridge = br-ex

Changing the gateway back to "ext", I got the timeouts again. That seems to indicate that the issue is related to "ext" rather then the way I set up a private network or boot the VM.
