Public bug reported:

Description of problem:
Default security group in OpenStack are shown in webUI:
 	
Direction / Ether Type / IP Protocol / Port Range / Remote
	Egress	IPv4	Any	-	0.0.0.0/0 (CIDR)	
	Ingress	IPv4	Any	-	default	

I thought that it means that all traffic is enabled by default. Later I
find the hard way that it actually means that inbound traffic is allowed
on all ports from other instances that are using the 'default' security
group.

I asked two other randomly chosen colleagues in my office, how they
would interpret this entries. Both state that they think that all
traffic is enabled by default.

I would suggest to display "None" (or "only from same security group)" instead of "-" when port_range_max and port_range_min are Null in database.
Or you may even consult that with UX designer (who I am not).

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
python-django-horizon-2014.1.2-2.el7.centos.noarch

How reproducible:
deterministic

Steps to Reproduce:
1. ask some user who does not work with Horizon everyday.

Actual results:
users are confused

Expected results:
user are not confused
