Neutron: Router port connected to external network is showing status Down
I have a external network 192.168.182.0/24 and I have unlinked the router to this external network using router-gateway-set command. However I see that router port (Type External Gateway) connected to this external network is showing down.
I even started a instance and associated the floating IP from this external pool to that VMs private IP address hoping that ,this may actually bring the port UP but still the problem persists. I am relatively new user of Openstack not played around all the neutron options. Am I missing any other configuration or is there something wrong with my installation ?
I have a multi-node setup of control,compute and network nodes.
