Help with access of Guest VMs directly without the need to create Nat or take console. (I am using Advanced zone without security groups)

[jack99trade]

H Everyone,
I am trying to achieve access of some Guest VMs directly from my user laptop. I have done the Nat and it works but is there a way to assign public IP directly inside Guest VMs?
I have been trying to explore Shared networks with a dedicated vlan under cloudbr1 for guest traffic but no luck till now.
Can someone guide me please in right direction.
Thank you

Not sure what you mean with "directly"? I don't think other then console is going to work for direct access as if you were attached to it.

@jack99trade Your approach to using the shared guest network is the right way to allocate public IP addresses to guest instance NICs. Why it didn't work for you?

Hi @rajujith it is working now. I clicked Promiscuous mode while creating Shared network and now it works.
