--- fixes: - Parameters of type dict must be at the end of the shell command to not cause conflict with the network name. Neutron cli picks up the network name as the first parameter without "--" prefix, thus tresting type=dict as the network name instead of the real network name because it comes before. By providing the special dictionary type commands after the network name the behaviour of the cli is bypassed and neutron takes the network name and proceeds interpreting parameters with special format ( not in the form of --= )
