Open Stack

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.

Hi Varun,  

As Garry said you can pre create ports with specific mac addresses and  
then assign them to instances if you are using neutron for networking.  
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.
