--- prelude: > Due to changes in internal L3 logic, a server crash/backend failure during FIP creation may leave dangling ports attached on external networks. These ports can be identified by a 'PENDING' device_id. The neutron server will attempt a cleanup periodically to address the issue. other: - If a floating IP creation gets interrupted by a server crash or backend failure, a port can be left behind on the external network. Neutron will now automatically clean these up after approximately 10 minutes. This time value is not configurable. - Ports in this state will be visible on the external network to admins, and will have a device_id value of 'PENDING'. They can also be removed manually by an admin if waiting for the periodic job to do it is undesired.
