I have a Debian Linux installed in a VMWare, the ethernet is in bridge mode (static IP) in my laptop wifi and have a generated MAC address, it works fine. BUT Implementing an ARP guard in other host of my network I realized that the MAC address the other hosts see is the MAC address of the wifi MACBook pro I have (OSX 10.10.5 Yosemite). I realized then that is also happening in other MACBook pro I have (OSX El Capitan) and with Fusion 8 Profesional, i tried the to use DHCP and it don´t work.
So, In my debian (in VM Fusion Versión 8.1.0 (3272237) ) I have:
eth0: flags=4163<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,MULTICAST> mtu 1500
inet 192.168.99.175 netmask 255.255.255.0 broadcast 192.168.99.255
inet6 fe80::250:56ff:fe32:95e0 prefixlen 64 scopeid 0x20<link>
ether 00:50:56:32:95:e0 txqueuelen 1000 (Ethernet)
RX packets 2329 bytes 237793 (232.2 KiB)
In other host's ARP table I see:
192.168.99.175 ether a0:99:9b:13:cd:c9 C eth0
The MAC address of mi wifi adapter (en0) is a0:99:9b:13:cd:c9.
The configuration of the ethernet at VMware config file is:
ethernet0.present = "TRUE"
ethernet0.connectionType = "bridged"
ethernet0.wakeOnPcktRcv = "FALSE"
ethernet0.addressType = "generated"
ethernet0.linkStatePropagation.enable = "TRUE"
ethernet0.pciSlotNumber = "33"
ethernet0.address = "00:50:56:32:95:E0"
ethernet0.generatedAddressOffset = "0"
ethernet0.vnet = "vmnet3"
ethernet0.bsdName = "en0"
ethernet0.displayName = "Wi-Fi"
ethernet0.startConnected = "TRUE"
Now that I´m implementing advanced logging, attacks detection and inventory based in MAC addresses I hace a real problem.
Any idea about this issue????
