      I moved my pfSense 2.6.0 installation which was on an HP ThinClient to a VM (clean install to the VM, then restore the backup). I was looking around today and I noticed this (see image) -- that is the MAC address from the ThinClient (I have those recorded) - and that DUID-LLT (time) does not change...no matter how many times I clear it and reboot - these remain the same. How do I get it to use the MAC address the VM has? 00:10:18:8b:cb:24 does not exist anywhere on my network...the old ThinClient is powered OFF.

        That's only used to create the DUID, it's not the actual link local IP.

        However there does seem to be some big on that page preventing I can't quite pin down.

        You can just change it in the config file directly, it's just stored there in the same format:

        <global-v6duid>0e:00:00:01:00:01:2a:aa:02:be:d2:43:8f:91:74:e8</global-v6duid>

          Where is this CONFIG file? Change it how, specifically?

            It's in the main config file in /confconfig.xml

              Thank You -- I made the change and rebooted -- seems to see the changes, and everything appears to be working.

              Thank You
