I think the floating IP port should be changed into active if it is associated with a VM port.

Floating IPs reserve ports because that is the way to interact with Neutron's IPAM. They are not real ports which is why the port state is DOWN. I don't think this behavior should change.

This has come up in internal troubleshooting a couple of times now for me as well. When admin users see them all DOWN, they are assuming there is a problem...

I've encountered a lot of users on ask, mailing list and in the office that think that something is wrong when the port status is DOWN. I don't want to think of how many hours were lost because of this. I think this change is long overdue.

    Set floating IP port status to "N/A"

    The status of the port associated with a floating IP
    would always show as DOWN. This caused confusion to
    operators that weren't aware that this is expected behavior
    since the port is only used for an IP allocation.

    This commit sets the port status to "N/A" to reflect the fact
    that the port associated with a floating IP has no operational
    status.
