openstack heat: Add port to instance based on condition - openstack

Question

I want to add port to the instance only if the name is zee_1
template file:
resources:
vm_port_routable:
type: OS::Neutron::Port
properties:
network: { get_param: abc_routable_net }
name:
str_replace:
template: $stack_$name_routable_port
params:
$stack: { get_param: stack }
$name: { get_param: vm_name }

networks:
- port: { get_resource: vm_port_routable }
- port: { get_resource: test_vm_port_routable }
I want to add port "test_vm_port_routable" only if name is zee_1....
I tried with below condition but it is giving error :ERROR: The template section is invalid: conditions
conditions:
create_prod_res: { equal: [{get_param: "vm_name"},"zee_1"]}

condition:create_prod_res
networks:
- port: { get_resource: vm_port_routable }
- port: { get_resource: test_vm_port_routable }
with the above changes to template it is failing
can some one help me in this .....

If you read the specification, you will note that support for the conditions section was only added in Newton. So you need either:
heat_template_version: newton
Or:
heat_template_version: 2016-10-14
Or the equivalent for a later release. If you're running an openstack release earlier than Newton, you simply won't be able to use this feature.
