Description of problem:

We got the following error while creating a floating IP address and asking it to allocate an specific IP addr.

In this case we needed to create a port with an specific IP address but we couldn't so we had to allocate all the floating IP use the one we wanted and then deallocate the remaining

So this error is normal in Juno ? Or perhaps is not implemented ? Shall we do something special in the config to allow it ?
