Description

Explicit endpoint MAC address is not being set. This is same as the issue described in closed issue [#1009].
I am on unbuntu 16.04 LTS. I am using the latest docker-ce version and I am using command like below to run docker:
“docker run –mac-address=”02:42:c0:a8:84:22″ –net=my_macvlan_network …”

Docker seems to ignore the –mac-address option and is still assigning its own MAC Address.

Research direction

No source files or tests are named. Start by reading closed issue #1009 and reproducing the docker run --mac-address command on the reported macvlan setup; done means the explicitly supplied endpoint MAC address is retained rather than replaced.
