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 2 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.
