Verify Logical Interfaces Mapping using MAC Address
You can verify the configured logical interfaces (management interface, HA interface and packet interfaces) are exactly matching with the MAC address.
Get the mapping MAC address in console by executing the following command:
ifconfig -a
To get the specific interface MAC address for example management interface, execute the following command:ifconfig mgt0
Noting MAC Address
- Note down the mapping MAC address for each interface. For example, in the above screen, the MAC address for mgt0 is 00:0c:29:c7:5d:ca.
Select the VM and click Resource Allocation tab and click Edit. The Virtual Machine Properties dialog displays. Select the Network interface and verify the MAC address is mapped exactly to the created network interface. Following example screen shows management interface and its MAC address:
Checking MAC address with Logical Interfaces
Do not uncheck the Connected and Connect at power on check boxes under Device Status. This must be in power on state always.
Similarly you can check for other interfaces like HA, PKT0, PKT1.
If you have more network interfaces configured for NIC Teaming, you can verify the mapped network interfaces and corresponding MAC address.
