Web interface external network setup

Previously, there was preparation done to tie eth1 and br-ex together. This preparation must
be done on the command line. Because it is external configuration to OpenStack, it cannot be
completed through the OpenStack web interface. You can, however, complete the external
network creation through the web interface by performing the following steps:
1. Start by logging in to the web interface at the Admin user to create the external
network and subnet. Select the Networks submenu from the Admin menu and
click on Create Network. Give the network a name and flag it as external and
shared. This step is encapsulated in the following screenshot:

2. Once you have created the network, select the network by its name and click
on Create Subnet, as shown in the following screenshot:

3. Fill out the form with the network information for the external pool of IP
addresses. Make sure the correct gateway is specified. The following screenshot
captures this step:
4. Move to the Subnet Detail dialog and make sure that you uncheck Enable
DHCP. Fill in the allocation pool if necessary. This is only necessary when
creating an external network as the administrative user. This step is amply
illustrated in the following screenshot:
5. Once the subnet and network are created, log out of the admin account and log
back in as the non-privileged user, as shown in the following screenshot:

6. Select the Routers menu options from the Network menu, click on Set Gateway,
and select the external network you just created, as shown in the following
screenshot:
7. Once the router's gateway is set to the external network, everything will be in
place to assign a floating IP address to an instance once it's launched, as
shown in the following screenshot:
