Hi Charles, If I understand it right - since you are creating the external network with a vlan tag then the OV controller(nova instance in the OBM openstack) needs to send tagged frames which afaik doesn't work since ovs strips the tag. I see there's a blueprint[1] for vlan aware vms but it's not implemented. [1] http://specs.openstack.org/openstack/neutron-specs/specs/liberty/vlan-awa...

Hi Marius, Would it work if the external network was the untagged vlan? Does this make sense?
