XenServer automatically generates locally administered MAC addresses for the virtual
interfaces as specified in the OVA file. Locally administered addresses are MAC
addresses with the second least-significant bit of the most significant byte set. Locally
administered MAC addresses are typically assigned by a user to devices that lack a
manufacturer-specific encoding known as the Organizationally Unique Identifier (OUI).
Typically, manufacturers "burn-in" MAC addresses in which the first three octets indicate
the device manufacturer.
The locally administered MAC addresses generated by XenServer will not clash with
addresses from hardware devices on your network. XenServer generates MAC addresses
at random, based on the VM.otherconfig:mac-seed parameter of the VM and the device
number of the virtual interface (a sequence number for the VIF in the range 0 - 6).
NOTE
A particular combination of a MAC seed and device number always results in the same
MAC address. Therefore, if you remove a virtual interface from a VM and recreate it later,
the new virtual interface will get the same MAC address as before.
MAC addresses can also be assigned manually after completing the Brocade Virtual ADX
VM deployment. To assign MAC addresses manually, select the Networking tab, and
modify the virtual network interfaces properties as shown below.
