Hi Joe, 

I tried, nova-manage network create --fixed_range_v4=1.1.1.0/24 --num_networks=1 --network_size=256 --vlan=1 --label=IN-Interface --project=admin --bridge=br-2
and I got this error:
Command failed, please check log for more info
2013-04-24 15:09:51 CRITICAL nova [req-4c0db5b4-2b9a-4e42-ac1c-eb0a7a4a8b3c None None] bridge_interface is required to create a network.

so I thought that I had to go into /etc/network/interfaces and do this:

auto br‐2
    iface br‐2 inet static

then I rebooted but I still get the error. 

Did i do that incorrectly?

Thanks,
