I assume that the VLAN 567 is the native (untagged) VLAN on the port in
question? If that's so, you can do the following:

Create two provider networks of "provider:network_type vlan", plus one
provider network with "provider:network_type flat", with all three using
the same physical network.


neutron net-create --provider:physical_network datacentre \
--provider:network_type vlan --provider:segmentation_id 555 \
--shared <net-name1>

neutron net-create --provider:physical_network datacentre \
--provider:network_type vlan --provider:segmentation_id 556 \
--shared <net-name2>

neutron net-create --provider:physical_network datacentre \
--provider:network_type flat --shared <net-name3>


Of course, remove shared if you don't want tenants directly attaching to
any of the above networks, and add "--router:external" if any of these
are to be used for SNAT/floating IP.
