eth2 won't need an IP address - but at a minimum the link needs to be
up so that br-ex can use it:

   ip link set eth2 up

You can add an IP address to br-ex itself but that it not required
(sometimes helpful for debugging network connectivity issues from the
quantum l3-agent host).

You can specify the gateway_ip when creating the subnet:

 --gateway <IP ADDRESS>

This should be the gateway that external network traffic should be
routed to by default (probably your default outbound route for
internet access).

When you associate the external network with the router using 'quantum
router-gateway-set' the quantum l3-agent will configure a router with
an IP address on the quantum host using an IP from the allocation pool.
