[kolla-ansible][xena] Facing network issue when providing SR-IOV support

Hello Harshit:

You need first to fix your underlying network configuration. If the
interfaces created on "sriovnet1" can't talk to each other this is because
your network is blocking this traffic. Check your TOR switches to
enable/allow this VLAN range.

Regards.
