[ironic] Create port with wrong MAC address

[Kyrylo Romanenko]

We can create a port with some wrong or fake MAC address.

root@node-4:~# ironic port-create -n 13a0f41e-1b18-43c0-ac28-3174ceadfcc4 -a 00:00:00:00:00:01
+-----------+--------------------------------------+
| Property | Value |
+-----------+--------------------------------------+
| node_uuid | 13a0f41e-1b18-43c0-ac28-3174ceadfcc4 |
| extra | {} |
| uuid | 6cb6ea2b-3bbd-412b-8cb5-bbf6353e29ed |
| address | 00:00:00:00:00:01 |
+-----------+--------------------------------------+

I`m not sure is it OK that we can assign wrong MAC address for the port.

Kyrylo, could you please elaborate here? What exactly is wrong with the suggested MAC address value ? It seems like a normal 6-byte integer value shown in hex notation to me.

[Kyrylo Romanenko (kromanenko)]

Roman, I mean that address valid by it`s form but does not exist in network.

[Kyrylo Romanenko (kromanenko)]

Seems that it is expected behavior.
