Right, so the question now is whether there are plans to change this.  It doesn't seem desirable to be showing DOWN status when things are functional, so I'm nervous about relying on this behavior to allow mac address update to work.  If future plans involved ironic providing port status, and did it in such a way that the status would not be ACTIVE when there's a mac address mismatch (for example), it would make me feel better. :)

I guess I'm a worrier.  I could see a user filing a bug and someone fixes it and no more mac addr updates....

Yes, its to be expected.   IIRC, you were helping me investigate the same thing at the TripleO mid-cycle. :) The port gets the necessary configuration setup by the DHCP agent to take care of PXE, but this being baremetal there is no hypervisor on which some agent is running and plugging VIFs into a vSwitch ports at the compute host level.   We rely (at least in devstack) on a flat networking environment setup where baremetal nodes are already tapped into the tenant network namespace without the help of the agents. I believe devtest sets up something similar on the host thats running the devtest VMs.  The end result is ports showing DOWN tho they are functional.

Hi all,

I'm working on bug [1] and have code in review[2].  The bug wants neutron's port['mac_address'] to be updatable to handle the case where an ironic server's nic is replaced.  A comment in the review suggests that we only allow mac address update when the port status is not ACTIVE.  While I've made another change which may (or may not) address the underlying concern, I want to ask if port status is correct for ironic server ports.  When I run devtest (tripleo) on my laptop, I get VM ironic servers, which when booted all have neutron ports with 'binding:vif_type': 'binding_failed' and 'status': 'DOWN'.  Is this expected?  Does this happen with hardware ironic servers?

Thanks in advance!
Chuck
