Hi Reyk, Thank you for your response. I think you have identified my misunderstanding of the lladdr setting, which sets the vio0 address on the inside of the VM just fine. My interest in this setting is to assign an IP address from a DHCP server based on MAC address, so that I can e.g. ssh and/or http into this VM. I am gathering that this should be done on the host side? Eric
