+    The neutron agent report interval was recently changed from the 30s
+    default to 300s. This caused issues whith timeouts when providing
+    baremetal nodes. A new parameter IronicNeutronAgentReportInterval
+    has been added with a default of 30s so that the report interval
+    specifically for the networking baremetal agent is restored.
