This might help - copied from a note I put on our ops wiki:

OpenStack has anti-spoofing iptables rules that sit very close to your
instance on the hypervisor.  This means you can't just add a new address
without telling OpenStack.  To tell OpenStack, you need to add an
allowed-address-pair to the port which your instance will use with the
new IP.

For example:  I have a VM with a fixed IP of 10.1.1.13.  I want to add
the alias IP 10.1.1.14 to that and one other VM, for load balancing.

First, make sure you aren't using an IP in the DHCP range for this
subnet.  Then update the Ports for each instance participating in VRRP.

nova interface-list <INSTANCE_UUID>
+------------+--------------------------------------+--------------------------------------+--------------+-------------------+
| Port State | Port ID                              | Net
ID                               | IP addresses | MAC Addr          |
+------------+--------------------------------------+--------------------------------------+--------------+-------------------+
| ACTIVE     | 50eb611d-5e71-43cf-ba4d-1017bc6e488c |
623417c3-dffc-4b6d-96fa-a4ae0ec1df52 | 10.1.1.13    | fa:16:3e:5b:64:38 |

neutron port-update 50eb611d-5e71-43cf-ba4d-1017bc6e488c \
      --allowed-address-pairs type=dict list=true \
      mac_address=fa:16:3e:5b:64:38,ip_address=10.1.1.14

Once you have updated the ports attached to each VM, you will need some
security group rules.

neutron security-group-create vrrp_members
neutron security-group-rule-create --ethertype IPv4 \
      --direction egress --protocol 51 \
      --remote-ip-prefix 224.0.0.18/32 vrrp_members
neutron security-group-rule-create --ethertype IPv4 \
      --direction ingress --protocol 51 \
      --remote-group-id vrrp_members vrrp_members

Then apply this security group to your VRRP instances.
