From e1cc6b0c7677acf9c742bb0bfc115d84022cd6e8 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Mark McLoughlin <markmc@redhat.com> Date: Mon, 5 Sep 2011 07:10:52 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] Add INPUT chain rule for EC2 metadata requests (lp:856385) On Fedora, the default policy for the INPUT chain in the filter table is DROP. This means that EC2 metadata requests from guests get dropped. Add this rule to let it through: $> sudo iptables -t filter -A nova-network-INPUT \ -s 0.0.0.0/0 -d $ec2_dmz_host \ -m tcp -p tcp --dport $ec2_port -j ACCEPT However, this only works if nova-network and nova-api are on the same host.
