Should ports created by ironic have PXE parameters after deployment?

I guess we need to understand if your machines are set to network boot
by default in ironic's configuration? If it is set to the flat
network_interface and the instances are configured for network
booting? If so, I'd expect this to happen for a deployed instance.

Out of curiosity, is this master branch code? Ussuri? Are the other
environments the same?

I have several environments using Kolla-Ansible and this one seems to be the only behaving like this. My neutron-dhcp-agent dnsmasq opt file looks like this after a host is deployed.
