Then, you migrate your VyOS VM to a different - host and find your interfaces now are eth4, eth5, eth6 and eth7. - - One way to fix this issue **taking control of the MAC addresses** is: - - Log into VyOS and run this command to display your interface settings. - - ```none - show interfaces detail - ``` - - Take note of MAC addresses. - - Now, in order to update a MAC address in the configuration, run this command - specifying the interface name and MAC address you want. - - ```none - set interfaces ethernet eth0 hw-id 00:0c:29:da:a4:fe - ``` - - If it is a VM, go into the settings of the host and set the MAC address to - the settings found in the config.boot file. You can also set the MAC to - static if the host allows so. - -- Another example could be when cloning VyOS VMs in GNS3 and you get into the - same issue: interface names have changed. - - And **a more generic way to fix it** is just deleting every MAC address at - the configuration file of the cloned machine.
