Public bug reported:

I am using Openstack Queens release (on Ubuntu 16.04.4 LTS) and
attempting to install the OVS mechanism driver for self-service network
creation, as per the official documentation in
https://docs.openstack.org/neutron/queens/admin/deploy-ovs-
selfservice.html

- [X] This doc is inaccurate in this way: At step 5 of the network node
configuration (https://docs.openstack.org/neutron/queens/admin/deploy-
ovs-selfservice.html#network-node), the user is asked to create the OVS
provider bridge "br-provider". However, following this step, an
instruction to add the provider network interface (in the network node)
as a port on "br-provider" is missing. As a result, the router
namespace, and consequently the VMs created in a self-service network
interfaced with the router, will be unable to communicate with the
provider network.

- [X] This is a doc addition request.

- [X] I have a fix to the document that I can paste below:
Following step needs to be added after step 5: 
ovs-vsctl add-port br-provider PROVIDER_INTERFACE
Replace PROVIDER_INTERFACE with the name of the underlying interface that handles provider networks. For example, eth1
