Hi
I know by default KNI will generate random MAC address for newly created
interfaces. But Is there any way to disable random MAC generation? i am
using VMXNET3 type Ethernet device.
Thanks

Hi Sakthivel,
For supported drivers (igb, ixgbe) KNI gets the MAC address from device,
but for rest it generates random address, this is not configurable.

You can though change it thru lower level network IO or simply thru
ifconfig back to the hardware ID though.
