[Openstack] Packstack Installation on CentOS 7, Networking problem (possibly External Bridge)

How did you create the external network? When you create it you have to
provide the physical network that corresponds to the mapping to br-ex that
you have in bridge_mappings in /etc/neutron/plugins/ml2/ml2_conf.ini (or
wherever packstack sets up the config file for the plugin).
