Horizon support for Quantum in Folsom is limits to the core "L2
networks + IP address management" aspects of Quantum.  Quantum itself
didn't add support for L3 and Floating IPs didn't land until extremely
late in Folsom, so its not Horizon's fault that this is not supported.

quantum has its own set of floatingip commands that will be available
to tenants:

  floatingip-associate       Create a mapping between a floating ip
and a fixed ip.
  floatingip-create          Create a floating ip for a given tenant.
  floatingip-delete          Delete a given floating ip.
  floatingip-disassociate    Remove a mapping from a floating ip to a fixed ip.
  floatingip-list            List floating ips that belong to a given tenant.
  floatingip-show            Show information of a given floating ip.

Networks that support floating ips can be identified by searching for
networks where router:external=True .  We haven't yet added a
convenient CLI command for that, but you can do:

quantum network-list -- --router:external=True

This will be covered in the Quantum admin guide.

Early in Grizzly we'll also probably work on a mechanism for proxying
Nova floatingip API calls to Quantum floating IP calls.
