Please refer to the Neutron API + reference documentation for details. + * A user cannot create ``port_forwardings`` for a floating IP + that is already associated with a Neutron port. + * A floating IP can have many ``port_forwardings``. + * Port forwardings can only be created for floating IPs that are + managed by centralized routers in the network node: legacy, HA, + DVR+HA.
