Unable to set the MAC address in a guest

I seem to have difficulties to define a MAC address on my virtual machine.  I think I am following the steps on page 309 in the User Guide.

In particular:

(1) my setup is VMWare Workstation 7.0.0 build-203739.  I use a network card virtual and NAT.

(2) I change the *.vmx file and remove the following lines:

ethernet0. AddressType = 'generated '.

ethernet0.generatedAddress = "" 00: 0C: 29:59:2 c: 01 ""

ethernet0.generatedAddressOffset = '0 '.

(3) I add the following line to the *.vmx file:

ethernet0. Address = "00:50:56:01:01:01".

(4) I turn on the machine.  Once it is turned on, the MAC address is now 00: 0C: 29:59:2 c: 01 and the *.vmx file also venerated the old.

Any ideas what I'm missing or else where to go.

Try instead the following... That's what I use without any problems (WS 7.0)

ethernet0. AddressType = 'static '.

ethernet0. Address = "00:50:56:01:01:01".

  • Command line method of specifying the MAC address for a guest

    Can someone tell me if it is possible to manually change the mac address for a guest the cli? I was hoping that vicfg-vmknic can have an option statically assign an address but it is not. Depending on the Server Configuration guide, you can set the via the customer of VI, but the cli method is eluding me. Reason for wanting to do this is for a static dhcp address assignment

    Thank you

    Another possibility - you can try VI Toolkit 1.5 which has a command called Set-NetworkAdapter, which allows you to set the MAC address.

    I tried to set the IP address and DNS servers by entering the control panel command in administrator mode but the problem persists.

  • Set the Mac address of vCloud VM

    Hello

    For a client, I need to clone a VM production regularly in vCloud for a test environment. The virtual machine must have an address identical Mac because of some outdated licenses. After cloning, it is there a way I can easily put the Mac address of the virtual machine to the original Mac address? Even if the virtual machines in the same environment of vCenter, but various groupings of ESXi hosts.

  • Why is the MAC address Clone?

    When I disabled it Clone MAC address I lost access to the internet.

    Does anyone know why MAC address Clone is necessary and what it does?

    Clone MAC address changes the MAC address of the router on the internet port.

    You can use the function of the cloning MAC address to clone the MAC address of a computer if you used before your computer directly to the modem.

    Some ISPS (especially cable ISPS) only the customers to have an active internet connection at any time. To do this, check the MAC address, that is, they remember the MAC address that accessible line via the modem and lock the connection to this MAC address.

    If you test your internet connection directly with your PC first and then connect the router the router can not get an internet connection because the row is locked to the PC's MAC address. Now if clone you the address MAC from the PC on the router the router "pretended" to be PC and the ISP will accept traffic again.

    Usually, simply reset or turn on the modem to reset the lock again. Sometimes, you have to turn off the modem for a couple of hours (for example, through the night) after a few hours of inactivity the ISP removes the lock again. Sometimes call the ISP to remove the lock, but it's not very often.

    So basically, generally useless clone MAC address at all because you could accomplish the same thing by resetting the modem or it turned off for a few minutes. If you connect the router to the modem, ISP learns the MAC address of the router and it gets working internet connection. (Of course remember, that once a computer directly connected to the modem would not get active internet connection unless you change the MAC address of the computer to the MAC address of the router).

    But the function is useful if you do not want to. You simply set the MAC address of the connected device before, and you get a working internet connection.

  • Manually change the MAC address

    Hello

    a client needs to keep the same MAC address for a virtual computer in its vCenter to import into his org in vCD.

    Because this server has an application and that its license is tied to the MAC address, they must keep the original MAC address. I know that I can make this request on vCenter, but not through vCD.

    Is there some sort of workaround?

    Thank you.

  • Old PITA bread - change the MAC address in VMware Workstation 6.5?

    Some versions of VMware Workstation enabled to manually set the MAC address of the virtual card.

    This possibility has been changed for several reasons.

    My personal opinion is clear.  A virtual machine needs to reflect as much as possible a hardware machine.

    VMware Workstation you can not change the MAC address, or you are related to a limited possibility, were the first hex addresses are fixed,

    so that it shows on the outside, it is a virtual machine.  VMware response is, you must run the server edition.  Well...

    Currently, I have seen, that the recent version of Virtual Box allows you to manually enter the MAC address

    for the virtual Interfaces based on Intel NIC. You can enter any MAC address, including existing material, NIC Intel MAC.

    So my opinion, the possibility of lock-out to COMPLETELY change the mac address of the virtual machine,

    must be activated again for all versions of VMware, as it is the option with other software.

    HM?  As far as I know, we have not added any restrictions.  We do not provide a user interface for it, but manually modifying the .vmx file and change ethernet0.addressType and ethernet0.address to a MAC from another provider address seem to work for me.

    I don't think the static MAC addresses are actually limited to the 00:50:56 range.

  • 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.

  • Problems with the MAC address duplicate when creating new jobs virtual

    We use the MAC addresses of vWorkspace management. This means that we have the option set as an attachment with the basic MAC address pic01. This has worked well so far. We now extend our VDI environment with the new Virtual Machines in a new group. But now, we got the question if we create a new desktop computers, the broker for connections will distribute double MAC addresses (see the pic02 attachment). And as you know it will end in a messy DHCP and TCP/IP. Even if we put the basic MAC address to a new range, the broker for connections always distributes the old MAC address range. We restart the broker for connections rather than on the time and the problem is still the same!

    Does anyone have ideas or solutions to this problem?

    If you need additional information just let me know.

    Versions:

    vWorkspace Broker for 7.6.305.845 connections

    Client tools PN 7.6.0.820 (former VM) or 7.6.0.845 (new VM)

    Hello

    Address management Mac is for groups of clouds. With groups of clouds, the machines get deleted/re-created very often so we need mac address management to allow the mac address be reused after a certain period of time.

    With traditional groups, the machines are kept for long periods of time if you don't use mac addresses that you will get the number you have described management.

  • Determining the MAC address generated by VMX

    How the MAC addresses are generated when a new virtual machine is created/cloned using ESX and especially LabManager?

    Is the set of predictable, algorithmic MACs potential, or is it completely random?

    The use case, is that I need to know all of the potentially valid MACs which can be assigned to any given virtual computer.   It is calculated from the CMA of the physical host?  Is it still a finite set?

    Any idea is appreciated.  Thank you

    Generated by the Lab Manager MAC address will be in the following format:

    00:50:56:XX:NN:NN

    Where XX is the installation ID of your Lab Manager you will find on the General Settings page. Remember that you must convert to the spell. Example, if your installation ID is 41, so all your MAC address will look like 00:50:56:29:NN:NN.

    NN:nn is the unique number assigned to the network adapter. each virtual computer

    So let's say that I log in the laboratory Manager (whose installation ID is 41) and create a virtual machine with two network cards. It can assign these MAC addresses to my two network adapters:

    00:50:56:29:00:60

    00:50:56:29:00:61

    Now say I have add a new network adapter. The MAC address assigned to the third NIC will be 00:50:56:29:00:62.

    Now let's say I delete the first NETWORK card MAC address is 00:50:56:29:00:60. Then I go and add a new network adapter. MAC address will be 00:50:56:29:00:63. The MAC address that was previously removed won't get recycled, at least not immediately.

    In order to predict the MAC address is doable as long as you are aware of all MAC addresses in use on your system.

  • 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.
