Public bug reported: Impact: As Microsoft expands its public cloud offering it may need to utilize additional MAC address prefixes. If a user launches a Cloud instance when the MAC address is from a Microsoft-owned MAC address that is not in the exclusion list, eth0 is persistently named for the first NIC seen. If a user rebundles, or the machines has its MAC address changed (e.g. VM resize or VM is moved to another host), it will lose network connectivity.
Fix: Please add the following Microsoft-owned MAC address to the 75 -persistent-net-generator.rules file: 00:25:ae Microsoft Corporation Test Case : - Launch Hyper-V VM with MAC address with prefix 00:25:ae - Install updated Udev/systemd - Delete any existing udev rule - Reboot and confirm that no new UDEV rule was added ** Affects: udev (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Assignee: Canonical Microsoft Azure Collaboration (canonical-ms-azure-team) Status: New ** Changed in: udev (Ubuntu) Assignee: (unassigned) => Canonical Microsoft Azure Collaboration (canonical-ms-azure-team) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1367883 Title: Add Microsoft-owned MAC address to 75-persistent-net-generator.rules To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/udev/+bug/1367883/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
