OpenStack Pike : Configure Neutron#3 (Control Node)2017/09/13

Configure OpenStack Network Service (Neutron).

This example is not All in One Settings like here, but Configure the 3 Nodes environment like follows.
Neutron needs a plugin software, it's possible to choose it from some softwares. This example chooses ML2 plugin. ( it uses LinuxBridge under the backend )
