Hi Neale, Thanks for the reply. A physical interface could have multiple Vlan interfaces and I want traffic originating from Vlan interface to have user defined Mac address rather than parent's Mac address.
In Linux we have this privilege to associate Mac addresses to Vlan interfaces using ifconfig. In Linux, we use vconfig to create Vlan interface and then we could leverage ifconfig to configure our own Mac address on the Vlan interface. Could we have something similar in VPP?
