I have done this many times with Ocata and it worked 95% of the time. Ntp is known there is an option to turn it off. I do not have it handy now though:( 

Let me know I could share the packstack file.

Three VMs with CentOS 7 minimal created using VM Ware ESXI hypervisor: a controller node, a network controller node (Neutron) and a compute node (Nova). Things worked all right there as a test bed for PoC and lunching a few instances. That was OpenStack Newton.

However the second problem I couldn't handle it so far and I hope to get some kind recommendations here. The problem is that it seems the traffic does not go off to the External network

Everything seems fine, but I can't ping the router's gateway from my own client which are on the same subnet. It seems that External Bridge does not route the traffic outside.
