    Hello,<br>

    <br>

    In the following command to configure a provider network for grizzly

    L3 agent: <br>

    (as documented at

<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://access.redhat.com/site/documentation/en-US/Red_Hat_OpenStack/3/html/Installation_and_Configuration_Guide/Configuring_a_Provider_Network1.html">https://access.redhat.com/site/documentation/en-US/Red_Hat_OpenStack/3/html/Installation_and_Configuration_Guide/Configuring_a_Provider_Network1.html</a>)<br>

    <pre class="screen"><strong class="userinput"><code><code class="command">quantum subnet-create --gateway <em class="replaceable"><code>GATEWAY</code></em> \</code></code></strong>

   <strong class="userinput"><code><code class="command">--allocation-pool start=<em class="replaceable"><code>IP_RANGE_START</code></em>,end=<em class="replaceable"><code>IP_RANGE_END</code></em> \</code></code></strong>

   <strong class="userinput"><code><code class="command">--disable-dhcp <em class="replaceable"><code>EXTERNAL_NAME</code></em> <em class="replaceable"><code>EXTERNAL_CIDR


</code></em></code></code></strong>my question is, will the router get its IP from inside [IP_RANGE_START, IP_RANGE_END], or the range is only used to select floating IPs ? I hope it's the former,

as in the same external subnet, some IPs are already assigned to other servers (what are not related to Openstack). If it's the latter, I may have to request a 

whole new external subnet created just for the openstack cluster. 


Thanks,

Xin
