Bug 1078217

Description of problem:

I am trying to setup provider external networks as flat networks.

This is explained in https://access.redhat.com/site/solutions/728613 and is the recommended configuration for external networks.

For this I must set below entry in /etc/neutron/plugin.ini for ovs.

network_vlan_ranges=physnet1

Or

network_vlan_ranges=physnet1,physnet2

if there are 2 external networks.

Setting this using override parameter for ovs_vlan_ranges is not possible. If I set it to physnet1, it fails as below.

# puppet agent -t

Error: Could not retrieve catalog from remote server: Error 400 on SERVER: network vlan ranges are invalid. on node controller.mytestopenstack.org
Warning: Not using cache on failed catalog
Error: Could not retrieve catalog; skipping run

However if I override it as "physnet1:333:666" with vlan id, it works.

Please make the above possible to set provider external networks.
