Hey Everyone,
I am trying to configure a NIC Team in Server 2019 and I have seen others ask the same question but have never seen an answer.
My NIC Team consists of 4 NICs and the server is using DHCP. Every time the server reboots, the NIC Team randomly selects one of the 4 MAC addresses and changes it's IP address based on the DHCP reservation. How do you configure the NIC Team to a single MAC address so the IP address stays the same?
My first attempt to solve was to configure one of the NIC physical MAC addresses on the NIC Team but this fails because you have now introduced a duplicate MAC address. Is the solution to use a MAC address generator or something and assign a random MAC address to the Team? My first attempt at that didn't seem to work in that the Team didn't use the assigned MAC address and instead continued randomly rotating the physical MAC addresses instead.
Any thoughts on this or solutions others have used are appreciated.
John
