Hi, I presume that you upgraded from an older version that used nova-network (now called legacy networking).
Using neutron means that VMs aren't connected to br0 directly any more as there is a whole virtual networking infrastructure in place. To give a small overview: On a compute node a VM connects to br-int (integration bridge). This bridge itself is connected through a virtual cable to br-tun (tunneling bridge). That bridge has also assigned a physical interface that allows traffic to flow to the network node On the network node there also exists a br-tun that has a physical interface attached. Through this inferface traffic enters the node. br-tun is virtually connected to br-ex that has a separate physical interface attached that connects to "the outside", meaning the networking infrastructure outside your cloud. I cannot help you with the configuration issue but recommend that you familiarize yourself with neutron.
