dear forum members and team.

so straight to the point with my question, is it possible to change MAC address format from eve-ng default format to other MAC address format.
by default when we creating a node it will be given with MAC address format like this 50:00:00:0x:00:0y
which mean x=node number, y=interface number.
if i wanna change MAC address with this format 11:00:00:0x:00:0y is it possible to do? if it's possible in which file we can edit it?

thanks alot..

Yes possible, you can look file __node.php for MAC changing.

Note: make sure stop all the labs and nodes while you modifying any code in EVE-NG.
