MAC address

[Silica_V]

Can we change the MAC(Physical) address of the Virtual Machine?

You can set the mac address with the following method.

edit the VMX file with the following lines

ethernet0.addresstype = "static"

ethernet0.address = "00:50:56:00:00:XX"

The mac address authorized can be picked up in the following range: 00:50:00:00:01 to 00:50:56:3F:FF:FF

Your vm needs to be shut down.

You can possibly also change the MAC in the guest (depending on what guest you're using).

For most OS's (Window and Linux), it's usually easier to overwrite the VMware "hardware" address directly in the Guest OS. This is done via the properties of the NIC adapter or in the Windows registry. In Linux you override HWADDR in the if script for the interface (like eth0).
