# MACVLAN (pseudo-Ethernet)
MACVLAN, or pseudo-Ethernet interfaces, operate as logical subinterfaces of
standard Ethernet interfaces. Each subinterface has a unique MAC address but
shares a single physical Ethernet port.
That allows the user to send packets from different source IPv4 or IPv6 addresses
using a different MAC address.
Pseudo-Ethernet interfaces behave like physical Ethernet interfaces. They
support IPv4 and IPv6 addressing, can obtain IP addresses through DHCP or
DHCPv6, and are mapped to a physical Ethernet port. They inherit
characteristics such as speed and duplex from their parent interface and can
be referenced like standard Ethernet interfaces once created.
```{eval-rst}
Pseudo-Ethernet interfaces may not work in environments that require a
:abbr:`NIC (Network Interface Card)` to have only one MAC address.
This includes:
* VMware machines with default settings.
* Network switches that permit only a single MAC address.
* xDSL modems that learn the NIC's MAC address.
```
## Configuration
### Common interface configuration
```{cmdincludemd} /_include/interface-common-with-dhcp.txt
:var0: pseudo-ethernet
:var1: peth0
```
### MACVLAN (pseudo-Ethernet) options
```{cfgcmd} set interfaces pseudo-ethernet \<interface\> source-interface \<ethX\>
Assign a physical Ethernet interface to the specified pseudo-Ethernet interface.
```
```{eval-rst}
.. cfgcmd:: set interfaces pseudo-ethernet <interface> anycast-gateway
**Enable EVPN anycast gateway mode on the specified pseudo-Ethernet interface.**
In this mode, VyOS installs a local Forwarding Database (FDB) entry on the
pseudo-Ethernet interface's parent bridge. This ensures traffic destined
for the pseudo-Ethernet's anycast MAC address is terminated locally rather
than forwarded across the VXLAN overlay.
VyOS automatically removes the FDB entry when you disable EVPN anycast
gateway mode or delete the pseudo-Ethernet interface.
.. note::
The following requirements must be met to enable EVPN anycast gateway
mode:
* The MAC address must be explicitly configured on the pseudo-Ethernet
interface.
* The pseudo-Ethernet interface's ``source-interface`` must be a bridge
or bridge sub-interface (e.g., ``br0`` or ``br0.100``). VyOS always
installs the FDB entry on the base bridge (e.g., ``br0``), even if the
``source-interface`` is a sub-interface like ``br0.100``.
Example:
.. code-block:: none
set interfaces pseudo-ethernet peth0 anycast-gateway
```
### VLAN
```{cmdincludemd} /_include/interface-vlan-8021q.txt
:var0: pseudo-ethernet
:var1: peth0
