Unofficial study guide: VMware vSphere 5.The final eight bits of the MAC address are set to a hash value based on the name of the virtual machine’s configuration file.įor example, if a machine's IP address was 192.34.14.81 (or in hex, 0xc0220e51) and the configuration file was hashed to the value of 95, the MAC address would have the following value: 00:05:69:0e:51:95 References:.According to the OSI model it is a second-level address. It is assigned by the vendor or manufacturer and saved to the device memory. MAC addresses - hardware addresses that uniquely identifies each node of a network.
