How can I change the MAC addresses ?
-
I have installed nanobsd 4GB on my Firebox III but the MAC are 00.00.00.00.00 .
How can I set manually the MAC adresses ?
Thanks.
-
Which MAC?
Generally under: Interfaces –> Name_of_interface
For the LAN you cannot set it in the GUI. -
I have to change the MAC address of interfaces because freeBSD don't recognise them.
I have to change the MAC address 00:00:00:00:00:00 for example into 11:22:33:44:55:66.

It could help to have a bit more information about what you are seeing. If FreeBSD doesn't recognise your interfaces you probably won't be able to change the MAC addresses.

I have installed nanobsd 4GB on my Firebox III succesfully but the MAC address appears as 00:00:00:00:00:00.
I can configure all with GUI interface of pfsense and I can assign the interface ip adresses.
The problem is that all NIC are signed with Mac address 00:00:00:00:00:00 because of a non perfect recognition of NICs.
When I configure the WAN interface as DHCP client, the interface don't receive correctly ip address from router/modem.
I want to set manually the mac addresses of my NICs. How can I do ?

Can you give me detail on "non perfect recognition of NICs"? Is it something reported during the startup? If so, please post the startup output.

Do you know what the MAC addresses should be?
Generally MAC addresses can be set by shell command of the form:
ifconfig dc0 link 00:01:02:03:04:05
The command # ifconfig dc0 will show a number of parameters for interface dc0, including the MAC address.
Would you please attempt to set the MAC address by command and verify it was set to the specified value. If that works you should be able to get somewhat further in getting your firewall to do useful things.
I expect you will have to pursue this problem with the FreeBSD community. A quick google search didn't show any obvious evidence that anyone else has seen this problem.
