Hi Bruno,

If someone was following the Virtual guides, it could partially account for their confusion. This problem is being tracked as a bug and it's actively being discussed in the Docs team meetings. While I don't represent the Docs team, I participated in the discussion, and I'm assigned to this bug while awaiting the resolution of other blocking factors. The bug in question can be found here: https://bugs.launchpad.net/starlingx/+bug/2028272.

[Ildiko] That is great to hear, thank you for the updates!

[Ildiko] While we did not go into deep details on this during our conversation. The person said that the L2 network setup is fine, but the L3 is a bit lacking in terms of setting up NAT, bridges, etc. I’m not sure if the comments were maybe specific to the duplex system or just in general applicable to either virtual deployment options. Does this help?

Thanks,
Ildikó
