[Openstack] network issue

Your setup should be fine.

Ensure, that you have created your openstack external network as flat
provider network (default with devstack). Then adding br-ex into the
vlan device enforces vlan traffic on the external network. 
An alternative approach would be to add the bond interface into the
br-ex (instead of its vlan device) and create your openstack external
provider network as vlan network using vlan 45.
Both should work!

In general take be aware, all the vlans you're using have to be enabled
in your hardware switch as well if it's not a 20$ device.
