Reserve IP in a guest Network for other use

[Choonho Son <ch...@gmail.com>]

Guest Network is a sub network like 172.16.0.0/16.

Is it possible  to reserve IP address not for guest VMs?

For example, I want to use 172.16.0.253 for my real PC which has same
vlan number.

	Thanks. I thought the IP will not be assigned to any VMs till it is released

Thanks,

You will run into network conflict (2 running vms in the same network
using the same ip) unless you ensure that cloudStack always stays in
Stopped state.

	Out of curiosity - What if I acquire an IP using  CloudStack UI and assign the IP to the PC. Will it not work?

CloudStack doesn't support it. All ips from guest cidr can be used only by
vms running in this network.
