Hello, everybody.

In the BIOS settings of the PC
Advanced–MAC address passthrough
“System address” (default)

How about giving FogServer a little image gift by recognizing only the MAC address that the PC has?

Hello, everybody.
I have 5 HP 830 G7 kitchens.
Therefore, please let us know if you would like us to try something.

My hope is to use the MAC address that Laptop originally has with MAC pass through enabled.

Hello.

In the BIOS settings of the PC
Advanced --MAC Address Pass Thruough
“System Address” (default)
I feel that the problem is that FogServer reads the USB Type-C NIC MAC Address when trying to register the Host.

How can I make FogServer read only the MAC Address that my PC has?

@george1421

The default setting was “System Address”.

@george1421

I checked the BIOS notation on the HP 830 G7.

Advanced --MAC Address Pass Thruough
The MAC address was written here.

There were three options for Host Based MAC Address.
“Disable”
“System Address”
“Custom Address”

The MAC address registered for the first time in FogServer this time recognizes the MAC address of the NIC of USB Type-c, and after being registered as Host in FogServer, the MAC address used for Uploading and Deploying Image is HP 830 G7 Pass. It turned out to be a Thruough MAC address.

The problem this time is that when registering a new Host in Fog Server, the MAC address of the USB Type-c NIC is registered instead of the MAC address of the MAC Address Pass Thruough that the PC has.

Is it possible to solve the problem by changing the FogServer settings in order to register the Host Based MAC Address of the PC?

I’m sorry I can not help with this since we do not use hp on our campus. So I can’t give you step by step instructions.
I would look through the firmware settings to see if there is any settings that talk about mac pass through.

Thank you for your answer.

Please let me know if there is anything I can confirm.

If you know the procedure, I can cooperate.

Thank you for your reply.
Please wait for a while as we will have the opportunity to touch the verification machine next week.

Certainly I confirmed the two MAC addresses.

1. MAC address confirmed by fogserver’s iPXE.
2. USB-The MAC address that your wired LAN device may have.

The MAC address confirmed by iPXE of fogserver was manually corrected on the web-UI of fogserver, and the image was uploaded and deployed.

I’m more interested in this issue and want to know why there are two MAC addresses.

@george1421
I would like to check one firmware of the system to see if there is anything about MAC address passthrough.

What steps do you need to take?

I will disclose what I can cooperate with and necessary information.

@george1421

I manually registered the Mac displayed in the iPXE menu, iPXE recognized it as registered.
And I succeeded in uploading the image.

Why do iPXE and FOS show different MAC addresses for the same network adapter?

Also, how can I improve the situation where I have to manually register the MAC address, and can I expect improvements in future updates?
