Kind of defeats the point of providing only hostname and MAC addr. It works only when I provide* IP address* and MAC addr.
When I'm trying to update the table, using hostname and MAC addr, it does not accept it. I'm having some issues with arp command though.
So, now I know that the machine VMName1, with MAC 00:14:BF:19:45:61 has IP address 10.0.2.1 and is my Linksys router.ĭan, vmroyale - thanks for your assistance, but the problem with vmrun command is that it requires username / password written explicitly in the open, a bit unsecure that could be my last resort. Nmap done: 256 IP addresses (4 hosts up) scanned in 3.71 seconds Then I could run a combination of arp and/or nmap to find the MAC address of active machines and their respective IP addresses. For example, I create a table and put it in a file like so: If I were to create a (database type) file with each VM's name and MAC address, then I could use nmap or arp commands to obtain the IP address. That said, what I was trying to say was:Įach (real and virtual)machine has a unique MAC address. Probably the easiest solution is to use static IP addresses.
