Mac address conflict

another newbie question:

I read: fencing isolated virtual

machine other computers on the network. This prevents the IP and MAC

address conflicts that might exist if several copies of the same

machine are deployed at the same time.

OK, I understand that

but I'm not able to imagine the situation where 2 deployed machines can

have the same MAC address: if I'm not mistaken when I deploy a machine, a

new unique MAC is generated then how I can have 2 identical mac

the addresses?

Thanks in advance and best regards

VMB

The MAC address must be generated when a virtual machine is deployed.

We can not control if the MAC address would correspond to that of an another vm out there.

I have seen that some software binds the license to the MAC address of a NIC card, so people play with the bits of the MAC address to a VMX file.

It's not supposed to happen, and you can get reported MAC/IP because of this conflict.

Kind regards

  • assignment range static mac addresses

    Anyone know or knows where I can find what the mac address range is responsible for functions static mac end user for virtual machines?  There is a specific, cited in the 4.x documentation Beach, but the docs 5.x just say do not walk on the beaches of use reserved for vCenter Server, host network adapters physical, virtual cards, but says not what is Beach, reserved or allowed is, so I don't know what to avoid.  I opened a support ticket and asked the same question and I was told there is no specific void range defined for static assignment, and I have to look in my environment to see what was automatically generated for what could not be attributed.  Of course, this does not solve the potential problem of an address that I choose to be automatically generated by vcenter for a future new virtual machine.

    Also, does anyone know what virtual machine operations can cause the mac to change address?  I'm trying to determine whether it is necessary to assign a static address to a virtual machine that has a license associated with it, so I need to know what would be the probability of this change.  Support could not answer this question.

    Thanks to all in advance.

  • Combination WRT1900AC Mac-addresses

    I have several computers on my network with 2 Apple TV. I recently got the WRT1900AC router to improve my network, but after a day or two on the Apple TV streaming was not possible. When you look through the creation, I noticed that for several computers mac address are placed in a single computer. Unable to find a way to separate the addresses from each other, I did a reset and it was fine. After 2 days, the problem appeared again. This could be the cause? Here is a picture of the addresses being combined.

    Router and wired Configurations
    Configuration DHCP reserved IP addresses for all devices ON the router. This ensures that each devices gets its own IP address when turned on and connected, eliminates conflicts of IP addresses and helps troubleshoot and maintain some consistency for applications that need to connect and mapped drives.

    Several MAC addresses reflect the WiFi and LAN adapters that are installed on the devices. However I think that only 2 MAC addresses should appear for your MacBook, WiFi and LAN however maybe BlueTooth is recognized. You can tesl cela by turning off the WiFI and BlueTooth on the MBP, leaving temporarily connected LAN and see what happens.

  • VMware device with 2 network cards claiming the same IP address with two MAC addresses

    Hello.

    I see messages intermittent my gateway network two MAC addresses associated with a virtual machine running on a 5.5 ESXi host for the same IP address.

    The virtual machine is a MiTel 3300 controller for a VOIP system. the system is configured with two IP addresses, one on the local network and another with a public IP address in the DMZ. In the network configuration of the 3300, I assigned the address LAN IP at 00: 0C: 29:30:B2:B2 and the DMZ IP at 00: 0C: 29:30:B2:BC (Mac for network devices presented by the ESXi host virtual machine).

    On the host, I configured a vSwitch with exclusive access to two physical network adapters on the host machine. The vSwitch is configured with two machine virtual port groups, LAN and DMZ, with access to the physical network interface cards. Tab grouping of groups vSwitch port NIC, I replaced the order of failover of the switch to activate an active NETWORK card only for the Group of LAN ports and the other card NETWORK only for the DMZ port group. (I don't know how the content of the column of networks is determined. Neither is correct for the traffic on the physical switch. If these are configurable, please advise and I'll change the settings). The relevant parameters of vSwitch, groups of ports and VM are distinguished below.

    On the virtual machine itself, through the VMWare host, I assigned 00: 0C: 29:30:B2:B2 for the Group of LAN ports and 00: 0C: 29:30:B2:BC to the DMZ group port (best I can tell, anyway, since the MAC address field annoyingly obscures the last two digits of the MAC address - break if I invert the mapping) (, but all seems OK).

    The goal here is to make sure that MACs of ports vSwitch the 3300 is listening and sending always correspond to the physical ports that are VLAN Tag by the physical switch to ensure the routing. Generally speaking, it seems that what is happening but, intermittently, we cross one-way calls that suggests a problem of routing between us and our SIP trunk provider; coinciding with these incidents, I get an email along the lines of "the security in the network device has detected a conflict of IP address with two or more devices. The period of INVESTIGATION "DMZ. DMZ. DMZ. DMZ' is claimed by the following clients with MAC addresses: ' 00: 0C: 29:30:B2:B2' ' 00: 0C: 29:30:B2:BC'. »

    I did something in the configuration that would lead to this kind of collision intermittent? Have a hacked together a way to do something that could be accomplished in a way that is simpler and more reliable?

    Thanks for any idea that you can offer.

    Kind regards

    J.

    I probably don't fully understand your configuration, but it seems that you are not interested in using the collection of NETWORK adapters in the virtual switch of the VM MiTel 3300.

    If it is correct, why not create two virtual switches, each with a group of port (LAN and DMZ) unique and with a separate connection of (vmnic2 and vmnic1)?

    In general, collection of NETWORK adapters may be used to share traffic between uplinks and ensure that if one of the uplinks connect fails, a virtual machine still has access to the network.

  • Workstation 10: ip address conflict problem?

    Hello

    For testing purposes, I simulate our production network within the workstation in network "host-only '. (10.6.6.0/24)

    I have several copies of our servers running here as virtual machines.

    The network invited only has disabled DHCP, machines to obtain their ip addresses of one of the virtual servers.

    PROBLEM: I need to assign the address 10.6.6.1 to a server that I copied, it should be located on this address.

    When this server it boots with an ip address conflict error when you try to use this address.

    No other virtual machine uses this address. There not real as network still leaks here when I disconnect my pc of physical network.

    Even turn off all vm but one (that has a completely different address) and ping 10.6.6.1 is always present on the network invited only.

    So that perhaps only leaves the dhcp server on vmware with this address, even though I disabled dhcp for this network?

    Or another component of vmware?

    Does anyone know how I might be able to release this address to use?

    * Edit:

    I turned on vmware dhcp for this network and looked in the file "vmnetdhcp.conf" - this (host VMnet2) dhcp server MAC address matches the address that responds to the pings for this address.

    I tried to change the address of the dhcp server in the file under the 'fixed address' option, but which seems to be ignored, even after a reboot. When I start a VM that the MAC address is always in response to pings to 10.6.6.1.

    So disable the DHCP does not delete the address, or alter the configuration file.

    Any other ideas please someone?

    Thank you

    Oh!    to answer my own question...

    Was in front of me all the time, uncheck the box "connect a virtual map of the host for this network" in the virtual network Editor. It no longer displays as host only, just under the "custom" name, but it is still a guest only network.

    If it works for me.  If I really need to pass the ip address of the 'virtual host map' it looks like this is not possible.

    Kind regards

  • How to set a specific MAC address for a virtual NETWORK adapter in ESXi 4.1?

    I would like to move a virtual machine to another server ESXi, but I saw every time I use the converter, it changes the MAC of the virtual network interface! Also if I copy the virtual machine to a vmware 2.0 server the same thing happens. Is it possible to keep the same address in another computer and turn off the virtual machine from the first computer source to avoid conflicts of mac?

    Thank you.

    Using the converter, you'll always end up with a different MAC address. If you just want to "pass" the virtual machine, you can use utilities like of Veeam FastSCP.

    Another option is to set up a MAC address in the network settings of the virtual machine. After conversion, you can reset the MAC address to the value of "old."

    For some hosted VMware products (such as Workstation and Server maybe player) there's a vmx ethernetX.checkMACAddress = "FALSE" setting that allows you to set any MAC address you want to. For more information, see http://sanbarrow.com/vmx/vmx-network-advanced.html.

  • Same MAC address LAN different segment, different ESX, different groupings? questions?

    Hello

    I have a question reguardning assign the same address MAC 2 mV.

    A quick overview of our environment is:

    1 vCenter

    2 different groups

    Virtual machines are not in the same LAN segment.

    We have cloned a VM to group A to group B. The license for the application is linked to the MAC address of the virtual machine. However, with a few changes to the .vmx file we have changed the

    static ethernetX.addresstype

    ethernetX.address for the MAC, we wanted to

    added the ethernet.checkMACAddress = "false".

    While the two virtual machines have the same MAC, VMS are production and VM B are development.

    It works very well and we can turn on the virtual machine in Group B and both A and B works very well, the application works fine in the two clusters. BUT here's my question.

    vCenter keeps track of MAC addresses and VM b it gives an error stating that "the static method address MAC attributed to VM B, is in conflict with the VM A MAC» Then can there be a problem for us? We can be right now two virtual machines are in place and working well just. And the application also works very well at the time of the cluster. The only one complaining about this is vCenter.

    Someone has the right answer for me?

  • where can I find the mac address for Airport Extreme

    just bought a new Airport Extreme 802.11ac and I don't know here to find the MAC ADDRESS. Can someone tell me where to look. I have the model and serial number, but can not find the MAC ADDRESS.

    Is the AirPort Extreme, set up and operation right now... even if he could not have an Internet connection?

    If Yes... Open the AirPort on your Mac utility... (Finder > Applications > utilities > AirPort Utility)

    Hold down the option key on your Mac when you double-click on the image of the AirPort Extreme

    The next page will display a summary of the parameters

    The AirPort Extreme has done 3 different MAC addresses... Ethernet, WiFi 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz WiFi.   If your AirPort Extreme is connected to a modem by an Ethernet cable, then the Ethernet ID is the MAC address.

    If the AirPort Extreme has not set up yet at all...

    Open AirPort Utility as above, and then click the file menu in the upper left corner of the screen next to the Apple icon

    Click on configure the other

    For address, enter 10.0.1.1

    A password is normally not necessary, but if you are prompted for a password, use the word

    public

    Click OK, the settings summary page is displayed.  In most cases, given that the AirPort Extreme connects to a modem via an Ethernet connection, you want to use the Ethernet ID as the MAC address.

    If you are still experiencing difficulties, you have 90 days of support Apple phone. Call them and maybe they can explain why that should be a very simple task is so difficult.

  • no no pick host server el capitan. List [MAC Address]:unkown.home

    We have 21 iMacs running on the server (El Capitan, recently updated) and alone is binding. The solution is usually quite simple for users and groups in SysPref. Remove the server host and binding, find the available server in the option drop-down menu, but for some unknown reason, the server is listed as unkown-00-00-12-34-56-78.home , that I found is the MAC address of the server. I ran this in a terminal:

    sudo launchctl unload -w /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.apple.mDNSResponder.plist 

    and

    sudo launchctl load -w /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.apple.mDNSResponder.plist 

    back to link the server in SysPref and correct server name option appears briefly and then changed back to "unkown-00-00-12-34-56-78.home" right before my eyes!

    You see "unkown-00-00-12-34-56-78.home" anywhere on the server?

    Is the correct server name a bonjour name? That is to say theServer.com? or is it a FQDN name? theServer.YourDomain.com?

  • The printer receives do not all data. It is caused by the MAC address filtering.

    How can I solve this problem.

    The printer attempted to join the network but does not receive any data.  This may be caused by the MAC address filtering. If MAC address filtering is enabled and you want to keep enabled, add the MAC address of your printer in the list of devices allowed for your wireless access point or router before continuing.

    > NIC seems to work fine with whatever he chooses - but how MAC address can be change by itself?

    The physical MAC address is not editable, but there are a few ways to spoof the mac address
    For example, using Windows XP, the MAC address can be changed in the properties of the Ethernet adapter. On the Advanced tab, under "MAC address", "Locally administered address", "Ethernet address" or "network address". The name of this option depends on the Lan driver that is installed on your laptop. And important note; not all drivers are supported changing the MAC address of this way.

    In addition the system registry key:
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Contro l\Class\ {4D36E972-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318} contains some parameters of the network interface and the option called NetworkAddress will serve to set the MAC address.

    There are also tools that could spoof the address MAC for example, SMAC MAC Address Changer.
    Finally and above all some routers provide an option to change the MAC address.
