MAC¶

The MAC address can be changed on ethernet interfaces.

To configure the MAC address of the existing interface eth0 in vrf main, do:

vrouter running config# vrf main
vrouter running vrf main# interface physical eth0
vrouter running physical eth0# ethernet mac-address 00:01:02:03:04:05
vrouter running physical eth0# commit

To display an interface MAC address:

vrouter> show state / vrf main interface physical eth0
physical eth0
    ipv6
        address fe80::dced:1ff:fec4:3a04/64
        ..
    mtu 2000
    port pci-b0s4
    counters
        in-octets 7316
        out-unicast-pkts 7
        out-octets 7316
        in-unicast-pkts 113
        in-discards 0
        in-errors 0
        out-discards 0
        out-errors 0
        ..
    ethernet
        mac-address 00:01:02:03:04:05
        ..
    oper-status UP
    enabled true
    ..

The same configuration can be made using this NETCONF XML configuration:

vrouter> show config xml absolute vrf main interface physical eth0
<config xmlns="urn:6wind:vrouter">
  <vrf>
    <name>main</name>
    <interface xmlns="urn:6wind:vrouter/interface">
      <physical>
        <name>eth0</name>
        (...)
        <ethernet>
          <mac-address>00:01:02:03:04:05</mac-address>
        </ethernet>
      </physical>
    </interface>
  </vrf>
</config>
