  • Thread-topic: using a different MAC in netfront than the one given by netback

Is there any problem if netfront (or Windows in my case) uses a
different MAC address than the one given to it by netback? NLB (Network
Load Balancing) appears to need to assign a Locally Administered Address
to the network interface.

The only issue I can think of is if iptables added rules on a MAC
address basis, which it doesn't at least in 3.2.x...

Thanks

James
