Assigning a MAC Address to an Interface

Updated: 2014-08-24

If, while you are provisioning a NetScaler instance on an SDX appliance, XenServer internally assigns a MAC address to a

virtual interface associated with that instance, the same MAC address might be assigned to a virtual interface associated

with another instance on the same appliance or on another appliance. To prevent assignment of duplicate MAC addresses,

you can enforce unique MAC addresses.

There are two ways of assigning a MAC address to an interface:

1. Assign a base MAC address and a range to an interface: The Management Service assigns a unique MAC address by using

the base address and range.

2. Assign a global base MAC address: A global base MAC address applies to all interfaces. The Management Service then

generates the MAC addresses for all interfaces. If you set the global base MAC address, the range for a 1G interface is

set to 8 and the range for a 10G interface is set to 64. See the following table for sample base MAC addresses if the

global base MAC address is set to 00:00:00:00:00:00.
