Hi,

Some time ago we had in Neutron reported RFE to allow automatically incoming 
DHCP traffic to the VM [1].
Basically it can be done today by adding proper security group rule that will 
allow such incoming traffic to the VM but idea of this RFE was to add some 
flag, called e.g. „external_dhcp” to network/subnet and in case if this flag is 
set to True, add such firewall rule by default for each port.
This small RFE don’t cover cases like „how to ensure that external DHCP server 
will be aware of IP addresses assigned for port in Neutron’s DB” or things like 
that.
It’s only about adding this one new flag to subnet (or network) attributes 
instead of doing it „manually” with security groups.

And now question to You is: would You be interested in such new „feature”? 
Currently we had only one request and we are not sure if it is worth to 
implement it. But if there would be more interest in it we can revive this RFE.
