Options for additional ports for node pools

To support advanced networking scenarios, you can use the --openstack-node-additional-port flag to attach additional ports to nodes in a hosted cluster on OpenStack.

The flag takes a list of comma-separated parameters that can be used multiple times to attach multiple additional ports to the nodes.

The parameters are as follows:

Parameter Description Required Default

Parameter	Description	Required	Default
`network-id`	The ID of the network to attach to the node.	Yes	N/A
`vnic-type`	The vNIC type to use for the port. If not specified, Neutron uses the default type `normal`.	No	N/A
`disable-port-security`	Whether to disable port security for the port. If not specified, Neutron enables port security unless it is explicitly disabled at the network level.	No	N/A
`address-pairs`	A list of IP address pairs to assign to the port. The format is `ip_address=mac_address`. Multiple pairs can be provided, separated by a hyphen (`-`). The `mac_address` portion is optional.	No	N/A

network-id
