An Ironic port may be associated with a physical network using its
``physical_network`` field. Ironic uses this information when
mapping between virtual ports in Neutron and physical ports and
port groups. A port's physical network field is optional, and if not
port groups. A port's physical network field is optional, and if not
set then any VIF may be mapped to that port, provided that no free
Ironic port with a suitable physical network assignment exists.
When set, its value must be a name that corresponds to a physical network
in Neutron for the networking-baremetal integration to properly reconcile
the port. This has to be a name (not a UUID) since physical networks are
configured in Neutron by name.
The physical network of a port group is defined by the physical network of its
constituent ports. The Ironic service ensures that all ports in a port
