VirtualBox VM changes MAC address after imported to Oracle Cloud Infrastructure

I should start by saying that I am a novice in OCI and VirtualBox.

My goal is to create a VirtualBox VM and give it a certain MAC address and run it in OCI with the same MAC address.

Currently when I start the imported VM in OCI it has a different MAC. Is there a way to keep the MAC address ? Additionally, is there a way to edit the MAC address to OCI instance? Thank you in advance!

Solution

  • No. MAC addresses are assigned by Oracle Cloud's networking service and cannot be changed.
