Problem

When creating a bond interface in FileStore, the bond interface inherits a MAC address from the first slave device. This MAC is then passed to all other slaves and remains persistent.

Logon to FileStore as master:

Network> show
Network> bond create pubeth1,pubeth2 broadcast
100% [#] Bonding interfaces. Please wait...

bond created, the bond name is: bond0

 

Solution

To change the MAC manually, you need to run OS commands ifconfig or ip link in a shell.

# ifconfig bond0 hw ether 00:11:22:33:44:55

Or

ip link set bond0 address 66:77:88:99:aa:bb
