External Network Configuration Failed with "Invalid input for operation: network_type value 'local' not supported."

[Aviram Bar-Haim]

When installing Centos HA with Neutron with VLAN and changing ML2 mechanism to Mellanox and openvswitch, external network is not configured after deployment.

From Puppet.log :
"

After executing the command without " --provider:network_type local", external network created.

The root cause is probably missing "local" in type_driver for melanox use-cases, affected from changing the external network type from flat to local when fixing recent bugs for 5.1.

[Sergey Vasilenko (xenolog)]

For fix it you should add "local" to the type_driver option in ml2 plugin config file.
