MAC for static NAT IP

[Kuang-Ching Wang <ku...@gmail.com>]

Hi, I have a question about CloudStack’s static NAT implementation.

Currently when static NAT is instantiated, a public IP is allocated to pair with the private IP.  Looking into the applyStaticNats() in StaticNatServiceProvider, each IP does not come with an allocated MAC address.

We are exploring support of distributed NAT implementation in the networking plugin, where the allocated MAC address is critical.  In OpenStack, for example, a static NAT IP is allocated with a MAC address.

Does CloudStack support the same and I missed it, to, if it does not, is it possible to do so?

Thanks,
KC

AFAIK CS does not allocate MAC address for static NAT IP address.
