Hi,
Each time I start testpmd, I see a different MAC address for port 0.
Is there a way to set a fixed MAC address for port 0 when starting
testpmd? The only MAC address
which I saw as configurable in the docs is the peer address.
Kevin

The MAC address comes from hardware. If you have a software not hardware
NIC it probably generates its own random value.
