Managing Virtual MAC Address Pool

You can create, add, remove, and deactivate MAC addresses by using the Managing Virtual MAC Address Pool. You can only use unicast MAC addresses in the Virtual MAC Address Pool. The following MAC address ranges are allowed in CMC.
  • 02:00:00:00:00:00 - F2:FF:FF:FF:FF:FF
  • 06:00:00:00:00:00 - F6:FF:FF:FF:FF:FF
  • 0A:00:00:00:00:00 - FA:FF:FF:FF:FF:FF
  • 0E:00:00:00:00:00 - FE:FF:FF:FF:FF:FF

To view the Manage Virtual MAC Address option by the CMC web interface, in the system tree, go to Chassis Overview > Server Overview. Click Setup > Profiles > Boot Identity Profiles. The Manage Virtual MAC Address Pool section is displayed.

NOTE The virtual MAC Addresses are managed in the vmacdb.xml file in the network share. A hidden lock file (.vmacdb.lock) is added and removed from the network share to serialize boot identity operations from multiple chassis.
