How to link a router from one project to a subnet in another project?

Hi,

I'm trying to create a connection between networks in different projects. I'm trying to do this by trying to create a port via openstack port create --device <router-id> --network <network-id> --enable --fixed-ip subnet=<subnet-id>,ip-address=<ip-address> --device-owner network:router_interface <name>.

Now, I know that I can't do this unless I'm an admin user, which I am, but despite all this, the port stays in status DOWN.

What am I missing?

We're using OpenVSwitch for networking, if that matters for this.

I haven't tested this, just an educated guess at how I'd try to do this:

Create the port in the network in question, though I'd try it without device and device-owner, and then attach it to the router in question with openstack router add port <port id>. I would also then add a static route to the router of the network in question so it knows how to route traffic back.

A potential pitfall is conflicting IP space, both projects would need to coordinate their IP usage.
