Benoire Posted March 12, 2016 Share #1 Posted March 12, 2016 Hi, I've just used the guides to create a new serial but I wondered whether I would need to create two mac addresses for both NICs installed on the server motherboard. I've got one generated, but I wondered whether I would need two? Thanks, Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Benoire Posted March 12, 2016 Author Share #2 Posted March 12, 2016 Also, can I insert the two NICs actual MAC addresses or must I use the generated ones that the serial number is linked with? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abced Posted March 12, 2016 Share #3 Posted March 12, 2016 You need two (mac1=xxx mac2=xxxx). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Benoire Posted March 12, 2016 Author Share #6 Posted March 12, 2016 Thanks Brantje, I used your site & the generator; I was just wondering whether instead of using the generated MAC addresses I could use my own NIC ones, or do you have to use a generated mac address with a generated serial number?

brantje Posted March 12, 2016 Share #7 Posted March 12, 2016 You have to use the generated pmes, since they match with the generated serial. Posted via Xpenology.us Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
