I tried to update the subnet with no-gateway, which throws internal server error saying backend has no gateway ip

I tried this with ml2/OVN on master and it seems to be working:

vagrant@devstack:~
$ openstack subnet set --gateway none subnetbug
[14:30:28]
vagrant@devstack:~
$ openstack subnet show subnetbug

Hi,

Can You attach logs from the neutron-server when You have this error? It would be useful to check what error/traceback is there to narrow down where issue can be.

I tried similar steps locally and they passed fine too, ML2/OVS and neutron CLI:
$ neutron subnet-update --no-gateway subnetbug

Updated subnet: subnetbug

[Adit Sarfaty (asarfaty)]

The actual problem is this:
Neutron prevents adding a subnet (IPv4 or IPv6) as a router interface if it has no GW, but it does not prevent if from being changed afterwards.

So if you create a subnet without a gateway, it will fail to add it as a router interface.
But if you create a subnet with a gw, attach it to a router, and now remove the gw from the subnet - neutron will not prevent it, although it should (at least for being consistent.
