• How to get the MAC address of the virtual machine on which vmware tool is not installed

  Hello

  In our project, we communicate to vCenter/ESX and details of virtual machines using the VI - Java 4.0.0 SDK APIs

  I use PropertyCollector for details.

  But in the following cases

  1. a virtual machine is poweredOff.

  2 VMware tool is not installed on the virtual machine.

  I am not able to get the mac using the PropertyColector address.

  To get the macaddress property I use after crossing spec:

  rootFolder (folder)-> childEntity (data center)-> hostFolder (Folder)-> childEntity (ComputerResource)

  -> host (Hostsystem)-> vm-> guest (GuestInfo)-> net (GuestNicInfo)-> macaddress (in Virtualmachine)

  I know the vSphere client uses the VI SDK to perform all operations, and I am able to see the macAddress of VirtualMachine in cases using vSphere client.

  Is any body please help me get the macaddress of VM in the two cases.

  Thank you

  Take a look at the dashboard feature of the virtual machine and specifically "VirtualEthernetCard": http://www.vmware.com/support/developer/vc-sdk/visdk400pubs/ReferenceGuide/vim.vm.device.VirtualEthernetCard.html

  When you assign a new vNIC to each virtual machine, a unique MAC address generated is given by default. If you still want to map the actual interface of the guestOS, then you would take a look at guestInfo as you may have noticed IF you have the VMware Tools. Although the default is whence the MAC address

• WLAN is missing the MAC address and can not use WiFi

  After an important virus corrupt my system, I got everything running except internet Wifi access.

  Hello

  Have you checked the TCP/IP protocol settings?
  Do this!

  The settings are located in:
  Network connections-> network connection WLan-> properties-> Protocol TCP/IP-> properties

  There you have to make sure that settings such as; obtain an IP address automatically, get the DNS should automatically be marked!

• [ACS 5.4] Retrieve the MAC address (to be used in the policy)

  Hello

  I want to authenticate clients WLC and compare their MAC address with LDAP attributes.

  We have stored MAC address for each user on our LDAP server.

  I have to get MAC address stored by FAC in policy rules to compare with the LDAP value.

  The only attribute containing the MAC address I found is 'Calling-Station-ID' in the dictionary "RADIUS-IETF."

  I don't know if this attribute will always be the MAC address...

  Is it possible to recover a "MAC address" attribute?

  Thanks for your help,

  Patrick

  If you are using 802.1 x or mac filtering, the username of the device is used as the mac address, or calling-station-id, the time that you will see only the mac address is when you make web local auth with external authentication to the ACS. Also for users of vpn, you see this and also in terms of auth-proxy.

  For WLC and dot1x mac address is always used for the calling-station-id.

  I hope this helps.

• ESX uses network adapter with the mac address that is different than virtual connect reports

  Hi all

  Our ESX environment consists of HP C7000 enclosure, virtual connect 1 gb ethernet with a mixture of BL480c and BL460c. We just bought some new BL460c G7 with NIC NC553i to replace some of the oldest BL480c. We have configured Virtual Connect to assign mac addresses. In vc management consoleI see the addresses assigned to the server, but when I start the server displays a different mac address for nic #2 that vc does. NIC #1 has the same mac address of console management vc and in the server BIOS. When I install ESX also sees the 'wrong' for #2 nic mac address. According to vmware nic #2 has not any network connected to what should be if it was really nic #2 (according to the vc management console).

  When I look at the mac addresses in the BIOS none of the network interface card have the mac address assigned by vc. VC firmware is 3.01. I have attached the photos I see information in the management of VC and BIOS console. Someone at - it for clues to what is happening and how can I solve it? Thanks in advance.

  Kind regards

  GB

  Please refer to:

  http://KB.VMware.com/selfservice/microsites/search.do?language=en_US&cmd=displayKC&externalID=1001167

  Note:   The ESX host uses following addresses starting with 00:50:56 (as opposed to the address embedded in the interface itself).

  To determine the MAC address of the interface Board of the ESX host, run the command:

  # ifconfig | grep-i hw

  The output looks like:

  vswif0 Link encap HWaddr 00:50:56:41:5 A: 59

  The MAC address is in the first line after HWaddr.  In this example, the MAC address is 00:50:56:41:5 has: 59.

  Note:   The ESX host uses following addresses starting with 00:50:56 (as opposed to the address embedded in the interface itself).

  You can also review the output information and the esxcfg-NICS - l order MAC addresses.

• OEM 12 c uses the MAC address?

  Hello

  I wonder if the OEM 12 c is related to the MAC address of the NETWORK card of the server somehow.

  The server is Windows 2008 Virtual Server.

  OEM OEM 12.1.0.3 and the repository database is 11.2.0.3 located on the same server.

  Thank you

  Emilija

  I agree with Courtney,

  It is linked to the IP address and MAC address.

  If IP changes, you must change all Agents and also must again fix the Agent.

• 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.

  Thank you, Andrew.

• Assign a static IP address via DHCP based on the Mac address of the virtual machine

  Hi all

  It is especially a feature request, as I'm sure that it is not currently possible to do what I want to do...

  I would like to be able to assign static IP addresses to VM without having to manually configure the network settings of the virtual machine directly. I want to be able to do it from the DHCP settings in the virtual network Editor.

  Most of the routers DHCP allow this. They give an IP address through DHCP based on the MAC address of the client. This means that the customer is concerned that he receives a regular IP DHCP address, but it is never change.

  DHCP is the default option for all OS this makes things much easier to manage, as IP addresses is assigned in the same way, in one place for all DHCP clients, regardless of the client operating system, and without having to manually keep track of which the IP is assigned to which customers etc..

  Also AFAIK at least for Ubuntu, you cannot assign a static IP address without having to also statically assign to the DNS server. It is only the IP address I need to be static, so I prefer not to have to worry about manually assign the DNS server.

  I can just kind of fudge making the really long DHCP lease duration, but the maximum is 99 days only, so finally addresses are going to change, that would mean a whole bunch of reconfiguration for VM services, etc..

  Does anyone know if the workstation 9 has this ability? I am currently on version 8, but I would probably upgrade this function only if she can do it.

  If there is no way to do what I want to directly through the virtual network Editor, can anyone recommend a way to do this, perhaps using Guest only network and then, by running a kind of services to the 3rd party NAT and DHCP on the host?

  Thank you

  Eugene

  There is no GUI option to get what you are looking for, but you can do it manually. Please take a look at Re: assign a static IP to guest with network adapter NAT Virt? where I posted an example.

• 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.

• 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.

  Not at all use MAC filtering.  Make sure it is off in your router.

• Can I get the MAC address for my lost iPad?

  I think I left my iPad Pro in the street today while loading and led away.  When I realized it, I rolled back, but he had disappeared.

  It's a Wifi model only, so find my iPhone will not be much help.  However, my local ISP is a service where you can register the MAC address of the device and it uses one of the many public access tasks automatically, then in this case I find my iPhone could help.

  Is there a way to determine MAC address the iPad when I don't?  Perhaps through iTunes?  I checked the box, but only the serial number is in the list.

• Find the MAC address of the host remotely logged on to a domain

  Hello

  I work in an environment where we use the thin client (Sun ray DTU) to connect to sessions. The sessions are communicated through solaris servers, and windows servers. Explain further, the thin client connects user to the layers of solaris that connects to windows to allow the user a session window. Window servers are in a private domain. I work as a security consultant in the business and use a management software log for surveillance of newspapers. I collect the windows logs via the software (Application, security, installation, System) agent. My question is, HOW do I GET the MAC ADDRESS OF THE THIN CLIENTS? I have the IP address, username etc but not the mac address of the workstation. However - the TASK MANAGER and REMOTE DESKTOP SERVICES MANAGER give the MAC address in the CLIENT NAME. I raised the level of the event log to ' 5 "(through registry), enabled all policies audit with categories and subcategories as well but always without success."

• Analyze the Mac address with the regular expression matching

  Hello world

  I have a problem with the function of regular expression matching,

  I try to analyse the response both a query arp - a 192.168.0.15 to retrieve the MAC address of the remote IP address, I used the following regular expression: ^ ([0-9a-fA-F]{2}[:-]){5}([0-9a-fA-F]{2})$

  I wonder why should I do a subset of the first string to extract only the part of the MAC address. The regular Expression function is not able to recognize the regular expression directly in the middle of a string?

  I only works when I extracted the subset of tring right as in the picture below.

  Thanks for your replies.

  Get rid of the "^" at the beginning of your regular expression. You are ordering him to find the model at the beginning of the string.
