#VMWARE MAC ADDRESS OUI MAC#
if you manually configure two identical MAC on two VMs nothing will stop you because you are the arbiter. Introducing an LAA prefix leads to a very large MAC address space (2 to the power of 46) instead of an universally unique address OUI which can give only 16 million MAC addresses. but static MAC addresses which you set doesn't This type of MAC address allocation overcomes the limits of the default VMware allocation to provide unique addresses in larger scale deployments. Q: But can I reuse the automatically generated MAC address which starts with 00:0c:29 (and of course make sure ESXi won't use the same MAC address for another VM)?Ī: Autogenerated MAC addresses assigned by ESXi host/vCenter are checked for possible conflicts on creation. :ġ) 00:50:56 - auto generated MAC by vCenter serverĢ) 00:05:69 - probably auto-generated MAC on legacy ESX hostsģ) 00:0C:29 - auto generated MAC on ESXi hosts and products like VMware WorkstationĤ) 00:1C:14 - reserved prefix for some future products ?! below is a list of all registered OUIs in IEEE by VMware, Inc. Machine to regenerate the address and avoid potential conflicts in the target vCenter Server or between the vCenter Server systems. If you import a virtual machine with a host-generated MAC address from one vCenter Server to another, select the I Copied It option when you power on the virtual A virtual machine is a virtual machine that runs on vmx. The virtual machine UUID is based on a hash calculated by using the UUID of the ESXi physical machine and the path to the configuration file (.vmx) of the virtual machine.Īll MAC addresses that have been assigned to network adapters of running and suspended virtual machines on a given physical machine are tracked for conflicts. What Is Vmware Oui As part of the VMware OUI allocation scheme, the hypervisor generates MAC addresses that contain the VMware OUI 00:0C:29 and the last three octets of the virtual machine UUID in hexadecimal format. The host generates MAC addresses that consists of the VMware OUI 00:0C:29 and the last three octets in hexadecimal format of the virtual machine UUID. First, we will start by printing the MAC address of the. In the previous example 00:50:56 is OUI of the MAC address. They provide the Ethernet card manufacturer company. IEEE is responsible for the OUI in MAC addresses. When you are creating VMs through ESXi host : OUI or Organizationally Unique Identifier is the first 24 bit or 6 hexadecimal value of the MAC address.
A typical issue during P2V is an application that has its licensing based on the MAC address. Look at the official documentation about this. Sometimes it can be necessary to configure a static MAC address in a VM.
It seems 02:42:ac doesnt match any real vendor in oui databases. Not sure why they are using that mac address. respectively last three octets are based on vCenter unique ID. Docker start assigning always the same mac 02:42:ac:11:00:02 for the first container and then is increasing by one each mac for each different container.
When you are creating VMs through vCenter autogenerated MAC address for the VM is based on vCenter ID. The KB you have posted is quite obsolete.
