Comment 16 for bug 1177196

Hi Hyunsun,

According to your previous comment, you are trying to say that we want to use /32 cidr for public IPs(for floating IPs and router's gateway IPs) and I found that it is impossible with current quantum.

In my understanding what you want to do are:
- want to specify an IP address to a gateway interface of a router
- create a floating IP pool with several IP addresses which can not be represented by netmask
- IP addresses of the gateway interface and the pool are not consecutive.
For example, IP address of a gateway interface is 10.0.0.254 and a pool consists of 10.0.0.2 (and 10.0.0.20).
Is my understanding correct?

If my understanding is correct, the current quantum does not support such case since we don't have a way to specify an IP address of a gateway interface (connected to the external network).

P.S.
I also think a subnet for an external network should be a valid "subnet", since the subnet needs a default gateway to the Internet or somewhere even when an floating IP has only one IP address.
