We have found the problem configuring Big Switch, Floodlight REST Proxy
Plugin.

In our Ubuntu installation, it is necessary editing
'/etc/default/quantum-server'
file to provide the plugin configuration variable
called QUANTUM_PLUGIN_CONFIG. By default it is set to
'/etc/quantum/plugins/openvswitch/ovs_quantum_plugin.ini', the file
corresponding to Open VSwitch plugin. In our case it is necessary to set it
to '/etc/quantum/plugins/bigswitch/restproxy.ini', the configuration file
used by Big Switch, Floodlight REST Proxy Plugin.

This variable is used by the Ubuntu service 'quantum-server' in his init
config file '/etc/init/quantum-server.conf' to pass a configuration file
fot the plugin '--config-file $QUANTUM_PLUGIN_CONFIG'.

I guess this information can help users and developers of Ubuntu OpenStack
installation.
