I haven't downloaded ZEN 4.0.0 yet. Does this gotcha
from ZEN 3.6.0 still apply?
VMware has a gotcha with RedHat-based VMs being copied
to new hosts. When VMware changes the MAC address(es)
of the NIC(s) during cloning or copying, RHEL still has
the old ones in its config files. The result is that it
creates new NIC(s) device(s) in Linux. On my system, the
two NICs are eth3 and eth4 (and not eth0, eth1 or eth2).
I've seen the issue before with other cloned CentOS VMs,
so I just fixed it out of habit.
Here's three different articles describing fixes:

Subject: [PacketFence-users] eth1 won’t enable on Packetfence ZEN 4.0.0 ESX
while running Step2 on setup wizard
Hi to all,
I’m not yet done testing Packetfence ZEN 3.6.1 but here comes 4.0.0…. Here’s
what I’ve done:
1. Install Packetfence ZEN 4.0.0 ovf file on VMWare esxi 5.1 and power on
VM.
2. Login using root as user and p@ck3tf3nc3 as password.
3. Manually configure IP address of eth1 (10.0.10.1 /24) and restart
network (service network restart).
4. Open browser and access web gui. (https://10.0.10.1:1443/configurator).
5. Run wizard. Step 1 – VLAN mode.
6. Step 2 – Assign eth1 as management.
a. Create VLAN for Registration (eth1.2 – 192.168.2.10/24)
b. Create VLAN for Isolation (eth1.3 – 192.168.3.10/24)
c. Create VLAN for Guest (eth1.5 – 192.168.5.10/24)
7. Then the problem occurs.
a. Eth1.2, eth1.3, eth1.5 are enable when created.
b. Eth1 (physical) assigned as management cannot be enabled and it
stay at “off” position.
8. I continue the setup wizard until all steps is finished.
9. Then I access the Packetfence Web Gui (https://10.0.10.1:1443/admin)
and configure the switches, guest access and other settings.
10. Finally, I restart the Packetfence VM (shutdown –r now) and when it boots
up, I cannot access the web gui anymore (because eth1 is not enabled on setup
wizard even though it is enabled when the packetfence boots up).
Eht1 ===> Management = Off Position (disabled) cannot be enabled.
Eth1.2 == = > Registration = On Position (enabled)
Eht1.3 === > Isolation = On Position (enabled)
Eth1.5 === > Guest = On Position (enabled)
Is there someone encounter same problem as mine using the new Packetfence ZEN
4.0.0?
Hope someone could help me on this.
Best regards,
Mon
