You typically enable DHCP on networks where you intend to put VMs. Neutron
routers don’t rely on DHCP to obtain their IP. If you enable DHCP on the
external network, and your intention if only to connect routers to it, those
DHCP server(s) Neutron creates will still each consume an IP address, reducing
the total number of IPs available for use as floating IPs.

Thanks James,
I didn't understand your following statement.
"You may want to refrain from enabling DHCP on that subnet as well,
otherwise they will each grab an address as well."
Could you give me example or explain what does that means?

You may want to refrain from enabling DHCP on that subnet as well, otherwise
they will each grab an address as well.
