Geoff, Thanks for your reply. This is the first route i tried to take, but it didn't work for me. When I tried to remove the NIC from the guest i had an error message complaining that the network offering does not have dhcp service or something like that. I did not take a note of the actual message. This was after i've changed the default NIC to a temporary nic. The NIC that I have is from a service offering called QuickCloudNoService. I guess it's a bug...
I will try the db route and see if it works.

Assign the VM a new 'temp' NIC on an alternate network 2. Set this new NIC to default 3. Remove original NIC 4. Assign a NIC on the original Network, but also set the required IP (hence using API and not UI) 5. Set this new NIC to default 6.

If you want specific IP for the VM, you can get secondary ip in vm NICs page and configure it on the VM.
