Vm Manual Mac Address Port Id
The maximum value for a manually generated MAC address is shown in the sample. Ethernet.address = 00:50:56:3F:FF:FF. You must also set the address type in a virtual machine’s configuration file. Ethernet.addressType='static' Because ESXi virtual machines do not support arbitrary MAC addresses, you must use the example format.

- The reasons why VMware force manual MAC addresses into this scope are unclear to me (probably to prevent collisions), but regardless, it can be an issue. I needed to specify a particular MAC address.
- Jan 31, 2011 I think we are all familiar with the manual MAC address issue - some software depends on the MAC for licensing, and in VMware you need to stick to a certain range of Ethernet addresses if you want to be able to manually put in your own MAC address.
You can change the power-on connection setting, the MAC address, and the network connection for the virtual network adapter configuration for a virtual machine.
