Ethernet Settings (MAC Addresses) screen

To access this screen, click and expand the Ethernet link in the left navigation tree and select MAC Addresses, click Network Settings in the Network section of the home page, or select Ethernet Network Settings from the Configure menu at the top of the screen.

This screen lists the MAC Address type and range that is used when creating server profiles.

The Type field identifies what MAC addresses are assigned to the server blades deployed within the Virtual Connect environment. HP provides a number of pre-defined MAC address ranges, or you can choose to enter a range of locally-owned MAC addresses. HP does not recommend using the server factory default because these addresses do not move when the server profile is assigned to a new physical server blade.

VCM assigns or migrates MAC addresses for server Ethernet ports connected to VC-Enet modules. VCM also assigns MAC addresses to server Ethernet ports that are not connected to an I/O module because VC modules can be added later. Server Ethernet ports connected to non-VC modules retain the server factory default MACs addresses. Only ports that have connections assigned in the server profile are assigned MAC addresses. Any unassigned ports, which includes Flex-10 connections, retain their factory default MAC addresses.

When using HP pre-defined or user-defined MAC address ranges, only use each range once within the same layer 2 network to avoid multiple servers having the same MAC addresses. After MAC addresses have been assigned as part of creating a server profile, this setting cannot be changed.

Only users with network role permissions can change this screen. No changes in MAC address ranges are permitted after server profiles are created. You must delete all server profiles to change the MAC address range settings.
