Description of problem: When working with Provider networks in OpenStack, most use cases require the setting --router:external during creation. It appears the current resource OS::Neutron::ProviderNet does not support setting this option. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 7.2 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.Create a heat template that creates a provider network. 2.Execute a neutron net-show <uuid of provider network> 3.View the output where External Router is false Actual results: Default external router setting is false Expected results: Have the ability to set this to true Additional info:
Looked ahead to RHOS8 and upstream and neither support an external router parameter.
This is now merged upstream in Mitaka; it's the kind of new feature that we would not normally backport to Liberty (OSP8). Is there an urgent requirement for this, or should we retarget to OSP9?
Verified OSPD 9 latest bits heat rpm 6.0.0-9
