    I (as admin) can use vlans outside of network_vlan_ranges in

            Unfortunately, neutron has no conception of 'default

                      <div>We've got a bunch of business logic above
                        openstack. It's allocating VLANs on-fly for
                        external networks and connect pieces outside
                        neutron (configuring hardware router, etc).<br>
                        <br>
                        Anyway, after some research we've decided to
                        completely ditch idea of 'tenant networks'. All
                        networks are external and handled by our
                        software with administrative rights.<br>
                        <br>
                        All networks for tenant are created during
                        tenant bootstrap, including local networks which
                        are now looking funny 'external local network
                        without gateway'. By nailing every moving part
                        in 'neutron net-create' we've got stable
                        behaviour and kept allocation database inside
                        our software. That kills a huge part of
                        openstack idea, but at least it works
                        straightforward and nice.<br>
                        <br>
                        I really like to see all that been implemented
                        in vendor plugins for neutron, but average code
                        and documentation quality for them are below any
                        usable level, so we implements hw configuration
                        by ourselves.

                                  type_drivers = vlan<br>

                                  external:br-ex,local:br-ex<br>

                                  unique. Agent terminated!<br>
                                  <br>
                                  I understand that I can cheat and
                                  manually configure bridge pile (br-ex
                                  and br-loc both plugged to br-real,
                                  which linked to physical interface),

                                  <br>
                                  Is any nicer way to do this? And why
                                  ml2 (ovs plugin?) does not allow to
                                  use mapping from many networks to one
                                  bridge?<br>
