Comment 8 for bug 1959699

Hello:

I didn't understood the problem until the last messages. We do care about the GW IP, as confirmed by Lajos in [1]. The subnet allocation pools will always skip the GW IP. This is correct and the expected behaviour.

What is wrong is that we can create a FIP on the external network, defining manually the IP address. The server will enforce **only** that the FIP IP address is inside the subnet CIDR, **without** enforcing the limitations of the allocation pools.

E.g.: https://paste.opendev.org/show/812603/

So yes, this is a legit error.

Regards.
