(1) The MAC address setting function for Virtual NIC mode
[Contents]
The setting function of MAC address is added for Virtual NIC mode.
[Changes]
Before modification
The MAC address cannot be set to the virtual interface.
After modification
By setting SHAMACADDR to the setting file of the virtual interface (/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-shaX), any MAC address can be set to the virtual interface. For details, see "3.3.3 Virtual NIC mode."
If the setting of SHAMACADDR is invalid, the warning message (No: 930) is output.
If SHAMACADDR is not set on a guest OS in VMware, the warning message (No: 929) is output.
[Notes]
When using Virtual NIC mode on a guest OS in VMware, the MAC address needs to be set by this function.
(2) Supporting communication by a takeover IP address in the configuration where the virtual bridge is connected in Virtual NIC mode
[Contents]
Communication by a takeover IP address is supported in the configuration where the virtual bridge is connected to the virtual interface in Virtual NIC mode.
[Changes]
Before modification
Communication is failed by a takeover IP address in the configuration where the virtual bridge is connected.
After modification
Communication is possible by a takeover IP address in the configuration where the virtual bridge is connected.
[Notes]
If the virtual bridge is connected, the takeover IP address is set to the virtual bridge.
(3) Strengthening the ling monitoring of Virtual NIC mode
[Contents]
Added the condition that the link monitoring detects an error.
[Changes]
Before modification
An error is detected due to a link down of the physical interface.
After modification
An error is detected by a link down of the physical interface or deactivation.
