1. Listing floating IPs for a tenant

    sabhaya@nova:~$ nova floating-ip-list

2. Nova supports multiple pools where Floating IPs can be created/allocated to a tenant from

    sabhaya@nova:~$ nova floating-ip-pool-list
    +--------------+
    | name         |
    +--------------+
    | public-pool1 |
    | public-pool2 |
    | public-pool3 |
    +--------------+

3. Floating IPs must be created, with an optional Pool Name 

    sabhaya@nova:~$ nova floating-ip-create public-pool2
    +-------------+-------------+----------+------------------------+
    | Ip          | Instance Id | Fixed Ip | Pool                   |
    +-------------+-------------+----------+------------------------+
    | 15.199.9.99 | None        | None     | public-pool2           |
    +-------------+-------------+----------+------------------------+

4. After a Floating IP has been created, only then does it show up in the list for a given Tenant

    sabhaya@nova:~$ nova floating-ip-list
    +-------------+-------------+----------+------------------------+
    | Ip          | Instance Id | Fixed Ip | Pool                   |
    +-------------+-------------+----------+------------------------+
    | 15.199.9.99 | None        | None     | public-pool2           |
