Jclouds - Neutron specify a nic when associating a floating ip

I create instances with multiple network interfaces. However when I associate an floating ip to the instance as below, floating ip is always get allocated to the first interface of the instance. 

api.addToServer(ip, server-id);

How do I get the floating ip assigned to the second or an interface other than the first interface. I could not find a way of specifying a nic when associating an floating ip.

I tried a different approach using Openstack commandline and seems it is working. 

neutron floatingip-create ext
neutron floatingip-associate floating_ip-id port-id

However I could not find a way to associate a floating ip to a port also.

Then starting the instance with the port-id.

Solution

  • The floating IP extension for Neutron is not supported as of right now 8/20/14 in jclouds.
