Changing VMWare VM Mac Address

22 Jul

The ability to change VMWare virtual machine’s Mac address can be helpful sometimes, especially when we want to manually assign it. Here’s the trick.

First, remove these following lines below from your virtual machine configuration file.

1

3
ethernet[n].generatedAddress
ethernet[n].addressType
ethernet[n].generatedAddressOffset

Then, insert this single line below

1
ethernet[n].address = 00:50:56:XX:YY:ZZ

You should change example mac address above to any mac address you want, as long as it is a valid hexadecimal format.
