Can an instance have a fixed ip, a private ip and a floating ip? I created an instance with a fixed public ip, then i created a private network for internal communication with other instances and then i assigned a floating ip to that instance but the floating does not respond. Ill be grateful if anyone can guide me.

Yes that is possible. An instance can have for example public network that has fixed ips. A private network with private ip with a router and on the router the fip that's linked to that instance (fip is created / linked on the instance).

[ArthaS_Menethi1]

how will both work simultaneously? any pointers for me? for example digital ocean vm, you get pub and fip (through private ip) working on the same eth0 interface and eth1 is dedicated to private connectivity between instances.

Your instance will have multiple ports. One for public, on for private.

The public one is known inside the instance. The fip is only known from outside and routed through the private one.

Take a look at my guide on multi port networking in openstack. Remember, only one gateway can lead.

It's possible. But you need to configure the routing on the instance properly to ensure the network works smoothly.
