Added to what?

So on the same server we are trying to enable port binding , which we are

So you would need a second cable attached to the same switch. If already
connected, the node, and the switch side is pre-configured, you should:

1) Create the portgroup definition in ironic
2) create/update the physical ports in ironic attached to the portgroup.

When ironic goes to perform the port bind, it provides the binding
information to Neutron. This behavior is slightly different between the
ironic node network_interface driver, ``flat`` or ``neutron``. You likely
will be using flat if your portgroup is pre-configured. Some Fujitsu[0]
folks put together a slide deck to share back in 2017, which walks through
the steps. The commands are a little outdated, but you will hopefully get
the idea for a static configuration.
