Assigning a Specific MAC Address to a Virtual Machine

Assign a specific Media Access Control (MAC) address to a virtual machine (VM) if you need to override its default MAC address.

To assign a specific MAC address to a VM

1. Open the Virtual Machines page (see The Virtual Machines Page).
2. Select a VM and click Shutdown.
3. When the VM has stopped, click Config to display the Reprovision Virtual Machine wizard.
4. Click Next on each wizard page until the Networks page is displayed. (If applicable, see Reprovisioning Virtual Machine Resources to configure additional VM resources.)
5. On the Networks page, locate the network to modify and make a note of the current MAC address in case you need to restore it.
6. Type the new address in the MAC address column, or leave the text area blank to allow the everRun software to automatically assign the MAC address.
7. Click Finish.
