Custom MAC Table

[vblando]

I have a very unique use case, I have a Proxmox on baremetal and hosted on a datacenter. I also have a 10 usable public IP for my use. By default this will be assigned to VMs staticly and it's a bit of a burden, then I decided to install DHCP on the Proxmox node and made a table to assign the public IP based on MAC address, so I made a custom MAC table on DHCP (20:00:00:00:00:01 to 20:00:00:00:00:10) and assign a public IP on each. So everytime I launch a VM, I just specify the MAC address and it will assign me the appropriate IP. It works great. But I wanted to automate it more.

So my question is, is there a way to customize the automatic MAC address assignment?

You can choose a mac prefix in datacenter options (20:00:00:00:00 for example), but the last part will still be random

Yeah, my problem is the last part.

They are no ip/mac association implemented in proxmox, so you need to do it manually. (through the gui, or automate with qm command or api)

yup, that is what I am going to do.
