Cloning MAC Addresses

On RHEL-based systems

If your interface is eth0, edit /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0.
If you see a HWADDR param, comment it out and add
MACADDR=xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx. Here’s a sample:

DEVICE=eth0  
BOOTPROTO=dhcp  
#HWADDR=00:12:79:A0:59:DE  
MACADDR=00:12:79:A0:59:F4  
ONBOOT=yes  
  
# On CentOS 6  
BOOTPROTO="dhcp"

Then restart the network service for this to take effect:

service network restart

On BSD-based systems

If your interface is igb0, add a file called /etc/start_if.igb0 to
specify the cloned MAC:

ifconfig igb0 ether 00:12:79:45:89:df

Then reboot your server.
