[Openstack] Confusion of external network

Just a quick note, each tenant has it’s own default security group rules. So I would double check and make sure your admin does have those rules set. If it works with Demo it has to work with admin.

While this is possible in Neutron, it is also redundant, as with the case above - There isn't much sense in pulling a floating IP from a network that you can connect to directly.
