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

I cannot reproduce it, it works as intended.  Are you sure that you
were looking at the MAC address on the "VM guest side" and not on the
host side, as mentioned in vm.conf(5):

 lladdr etheraddr
 Change the link layer address (MAC address) of the
 interface on the VM guest side.  If not specified, a
 randomized address will be assigned by vmd(8).

Can you try with current and run vmd in foreground "vmd -dvv", I added
a debug message that will show more details:

run_vm: initializing hardware for vm openbsd.vm
virtio_init: vm "openbsd.vm" vio0 lladdr 00:01:ba:d0:e8:db
virtio_init: vm "openbsd.vm" vio1 lladdr fe:e1:bb:d2:bc:72
run_vm: starting vcpu threads for vm openbsd.vm

As you see, my test cases uses a fixed lladdr for the first interface;
ifconfig within the guest show the same.

Hi,

you are second person who repots this since Friday,
I will check tomorrow if lladdr in vm.conf got broken.

The config looks OK.

Setting MAC address of vm in vm.conf with lladdr

2016-12-04 Thread Eric Brown
Dear List,

I am using the current snapshot (Dec 3 as of this post), and I am trying
to set the MAC address of a vm host in vm.conf.

However, the MAC address reported by ifconfig -a seems to change with
each restart. The lladdr that I had typed in was from a copy/paste of a
random assignment, so I hope that it is valid.

I know that this is still a WIP, but I thought I would ask in case I'm
making a dumb mistake.

Thanks, 
Eric
