Q. When the attempt to create a port has failed in ony of my networks, what can I do ?

A.

Usually, the first step is to gather detailed information about the Neutron network which you are using, with the command neutron net-show $networkId.

If you find that the value of the shared field is False, this means you only can create ports with the same tenant as the network. Please verify that the tenant you are using is the same the tenant shown in the network section tenant_id field.

If you find the network tenant is admin and section shared is False, please contact IBM Bluemix Private Cloud support for help. They will help to adjust the network shared to True, which will allow other projects use the network.
