Comment 2 for bug 2003359

Hello Lajos,
I just double-checked on a fresh devstack installation (single node stand).
I'm running devstack on CentOS-Stream-GenericCloud-9, but looks like it's not so important.
My devstack local.conf:

[root@devstack0 ~]# cat ~cloud-user/devstack/local.conf
[[local|localrc]]
ADMIN_PASSWORD=<hidden>
DATABASE_PASSWORD=${ADMIN_PASSWORD}
RABBIT_PASSWORD=${ADMIN_PASSWORD}
SERVICE_PASSWORD=${ADMIN_PASSWORD}

ENABLED_SERVICES+=,placement-api,placement-client
ENABLED_SERVICES+=,q-svc,q-agt,q-l3,q-meta,q-dhcp
ENABLED_SERVICES+=,c-sch,c-api,c-vol
ENABLED_SERVICES+=,g-api
ENABLED_SERVICES+=,rabbit,mysql

Q_DVR_MODE=dvr_snat
Q_ML2_TENANT_NETWORK_TYPE=vxlan
Q_ML2_PLUGIN_MECHANISM_DRIVERS=openvswitch
Q_AGENT=openvswitch
PUBLIC_INTERFACE=eth1
NEUTRON_CREATE_INITIAL_NETWORKS=False

LOGFILE=${DEST}/logs/stack.sh.log
[root@devstack0 ~]#

Then, to avoid guessing at what point to remove the router, I made a delay at this point:

[root@devstack0 ~]# cd /opt/stack/neutron; git log --oneline | head -1; git diff; cd -

and repeated the commands from the description:

neutron CLI is deprecated and will be removed in the Z cycle. Use openstack CLI instead.
The python binding code in neutronclient will be deprecated in favor of OpenstackSDK, please use that!

mem/cpu info on my stand:

The most important thing is to get a stuck fip namespace when the floatingip_agent_gateway port already removed.
