One more thing to add if you are planning to use your own MAC address prefix you can modify the neutron.conf and look for that. Now by default it is using the OpenStack bits.

The Horizon dash board does not provide an interface to either of these actions but the command line tools do. the 'port-create' sub command of 'neutron' takes options for --mac-address and --fixed-ip among many others run `neutron help port-create` for more details once you have created the ports you can pass the port IDs in to 'nova boot --nic port-id-<port-uuid> <then the rest of the options for your instance>' I use this to provide a fixed MAC address for my node locked flexlm server that identifies it's authorized node by mac address. Note you can specify whatever you want here but it is up to you to avoid conflicts on the same network segment if you start statically assigning MAC addrs. Neutron won't create conflicts but I don't know if it will prevent you from doing so. -Jon On Tue, Jan 21, 2014 at 4:29 AM, Gary Kotton <gkot...@vmware.com> wrote: > Hi, > If you are using neutron then you can create pass the MAC address as part of > the create port call.
