<div>Ok, I found the extended API which from the description seems to allow attaching a fixed MAC address when creating a server: <a href="http://docs.openstack.org/api/openstack-compute/2/content/POST_OS-EXT-IPS-MAC-v2_createServer_v2__tenant_id__servers_ext-os-server-os-ext-ips-mac.html">http://docs.openstack.org/api/openstack-compute/2/content/POST_OS-EXT-IPS-MAC-v2_createServer_v2__tenant_id__servers_ext-os-server-os-ext-ips-mac.html</a>.
However, I'm having a hard time figuring out where on this page the fixed MAC address is used. Could somebody explain what this API is really used for and an example?</div>

<div>Hi,</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I'm new to this mailing list, please feel free to direct my question to appropriate list if this is not the right one.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I'm currently using <a href="http://docs.openstack.org/api/openstack-compute/2/content/POST_createServer_v2__tenant_id__servers_CreateServers.html">http://docs.openstack.org/api/openstack-compute/2/content/POST_createServer_v2__tenant_id__servers_CreateServers.html</a> to
launch an instance on OpenStack with an attached network uuid and fixed IP address. I was wondering if there's any API available to set fixed MAC address in addition to network UUID and fixed IP. Ideally, I'd like to set all three parameters (network UUID,
fixed IP, and MAC addr) in the same API call.</div>

<div>Thanks,</div>
