Modify the Linux MAC address in the VMware virtual machine

The MAC address is the physical address of the network card. It is very easy to modify under the Windows system. In the Linux mode, it is somewhat complicated. Let's look at the method of modifying the Linux MAC address in the VMware virtual machine. Br>

Method 1:

This method is the most straightforward and effective. Modify the MAC value of the relevant rc.local file in the Linux system.

Method 2:

Modify the *.vmx file of the virtual machine. This method is most recommended because it is similar to the "physical NIC ROM" that re-burns the VMware virtual machine. ". The method is:

is divided into two cases:

first:

ethernet0.addressType="static"

ethernet0.Address="00: 50:56:0A:0B:0C"

"static" indicates that the MAC of the "physical NIC" of the VM is statically set. You can change it to another MAC starting with 005056. If you ask for your SSID when you start the VM, select "KeepAlways".

Second:

ethernet0.addressType="generated"

uuid.location="564ddcf1ffaa75ea-f1b9ee0d689c655c"

uuid.bios="564ded23138c9691 -7c68b2098baabbcc"

ethernet0.generatedAddress="00:0c:29:aa:bb:cc"

"generated" indicates that the MAC of the "physical NIC" of the VM is a random dynamic setting of the system. You can change the last six digits of uuid.bios and the last six digits of ethernet0.generatedAddress to the MAC that you want to change to start with 000c29.

Method 3:

Modify the MAC value of the relevant /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0 file in the Linux system.

vi/etc/sysconfig/network- Scripts/ifcfg-eth0

MACADDR=xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx

:wq save exit

reboot

above for VMware The three methods of modifying the Linux MAC address in a virtual machine are very simple and easy.
