What version of Rally are you using?
Could you please provide your task file? Looks like you are explicitly
telling rally to use your external network for the VMs.

The "network" context should allow you to dynamically create the networks.
Also, all scenarios that boot an instance can propagate boot arguments even
if they aren't explicitly listed (for more details try "$ rally plugin info
<Scenario>"), so you should be able to pass "{networks: {uuid: <netid>}}"
to the scenario.

2. neutron floating ip create, and assign it to the port eg (neutron

Only in VMTask AFAIK.
