Re: Trying to override MAC addr

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]



Robert,
Sorry Dude. I did not mean to make things worse.
All I wanted to say is this: It can be done via
the ifconfig command.

Now,

# systemctl status network.service

Tells me that network services still depend on:

"ExecStart=/etc/rc.d/init.d/network start"

Good! File: "/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifup-eth"

Says: "39 # bail out, if the MAC does not fit"

Ok, perfect. As you already guessed we need to make this change
early on. However, if all else fails, you can always source
a custom script here and problem solved.

I know, this is not elegant. But as an SA who sometimes needs to
do dirty deeds...

Again, apologies if I am being too simplistic/stupid here.
