Hi
I have recently downloaded 16.04, in this version also i could see KNI
random mac generation behavior. Is there any plan to fix this or it is
purposefully made like that? if i am wrongly understood this random
generation, please explain its purpose.

Thanks

Hi Anand,
Basically if KNI kernel module is able to communicate with the NIC
(igb, ixgbe), it will use the MAC of the NIC. Otherwise KNI will set a
random MAC.
I'm not sure about any plans to change such a behavior, but you can
use ip(8) or ifconfig(8) to always set the same MAC on system startup.
