We recommend that you verify network connectivity and resolve any
issues before proceeding further. Following the external network
subnet example using 203.0.113.0/24, the tenant
router gateway should occupy the lowest IP address in the floating
IP address range, 203.0.113.101. If you configured
your external physical network and virtual networks correctly, you
you should be able to ping this IP address from any
host on your external physical network.

If you are building your OpenStack nodes as virtual machines, you must configure the hypervisor to permit promiscuous mode on the external network. |
To verify network connectivity
Ping the tenant router gateway:
