Thanks Ashok Kumaran,
I follow your link, but when i associate a Floating IP in new_Ext_net to an
instance, Horizon throw an error:

*Error: *External network 4a7f4ca5-a787-4f64-8a4b-22a11f9b55f7 is not
reachable from subnet 9c921f72-a60e-4eae-b53f-f3eff3218627. Therefore,
cannot associate Port d105d3e7-6702-4ff6-81f8-65fba219bd0b with a Floating
IP.

PS: I run:

quantum net-create --tenant-id <id_of_admin_tenant> old_lan5
--router:external=True

quantum subnet-create --tenant-id 2fcd718a8d084ffc866bbb39640c8cd1
--allocation-pool start=192.168.5.31,end=192.168.5.34 --gateway
192.168.5.30 old_lan5 192.168.5.0/24 --enable_dhcp=False

quantum router-interface-add <id_of_project_router> <id_of_new_subnet>

quantum router-update 5def5511-7a43-48ca-b234-be290020509c --routes
type=dict list=true destination=192.168.0.0/16,nexthop=192.168.5.1
