How to connect to an Azure VM from a local computer using a MAC address rather than a public IP address

Answer 1

@Rajesh
I understand you are wishing to connect to a VM via its MAC address. This is not possible as MAC addresses are layer 2 connectivity and do not route over the internet. If you wish to connect to your VM you will need to do so either with its IP address or hostname.

Hope this helps. Let me know if you have further questions or issues.
