Public bug reported:

One of common questions seen at ask.openstack.org and mailing lists is
"Why cannot I ping my floating IP address?". Usually, there are common
steps in the diagnostics required to answer the question involving
pinging the instance, checking security groups settings etc. Currently,
these steps need to be performed manually.

neutron-debug command seems to be perfect fit for performing this
diagnostics, yet currently it only supports commands related to probe
port manipulation and a ping-all command.

This RFE proposes extending neutron-debug with commands that help
automating the diagnostics. Commands would be implemented for ping both
floating and related fixed IP address, checking whether given TCP port
is open, validation of namespaces (check for namespace existence), and
indicative diagnosing security groups settings.
