Hi, If your port is not attached to any device it will be unbound and in DOWN status, this is normal. Is Your port used by anything?

We have an existed vlan based network. I would like to set up the openstack to be vlan based, that is, each project would be on a separate vlan. To achieve this, I went about doing this: - Converted the port connected to neutron_external_interface to trunk on the HP switch. I am planning to use openstack to provision VM on vlan 20 Created network ->openstack network create --project=eng --provider-network-type=vlan --provider-physical-network=sriovtenant1 --provider-segment=20 eng --gateway 192.168.20.252 --dns-nameserver 192.168.20.1 Created subnet -> openstack subnet create --network=eng --subnet-range=192.168.20.0/24 --allocation-pool start=192.168.20.1,end=192.168.20.220 --gateway 192.168.20.252 --dns-nameserver 192.168.20.1 eng_sub1 Created port ->openstack port create --network eng --vnic-type=direct eng_port1 [kolla@ostack-40 tmp]$ openstack network show eng | grep provider | provider:network_type | vlan | | provider:physical_network | sriovtenant1 | | provider:segmentation_id | 20 | [kolla@ostack-40 tmp]$ The issue is however with port status.
