Changing how System MACs are Allocated in Different Labs
Posted: Wed Jul 31, 2019 10:19 pm
Hello all,
I'm relatively new to EVE-NG but had a question I wasn't able to locate the answer to elsewhere. I am using EVE-NG to simulate a number of network topologies and configurations. Each lab is tied to an external management system for automation and testing as well. What I've noticed is that each time I spin up a new lab topology, the system MACs that are assigned to the virtual nodes are always the same. Normally, this wouldn't be a big issue. But since the external management system is registering the nodes based on this system MAC, it seems the devices in different topologies as the same nodes and tries to apply the same config, which is not what I want. Is there a way to change how EVE allocates the system MACs for new topologies to make them globally unique across all topologies? If there is any other info I can provide that would help, please let me know. Thanks!
