Step 7: Set a Static MAC Address
If your Hyper-V environment assigns MAC Addresses dynamically, you will need to set the MAC addresses for FortiNAC VMs to be Static. Use the following instructions or refer to your Hyper-V documentation.
-
Power off the VM.
-
On the VM Properties, open the vNIC Properties.
-
Under Advanced Features, select the Static option.
-
Enter the MAC address you wish to use as the static MAC address. Important: Ensure the MAC address is not within the dynamic address range generated by the Hyper-V host. See https://www.dtonias.com/set-vm-static-mac-address-hyper-v/
-
Start the VM.
Appliance installation is complete. Proceed to the FortiNAC Deployment Guide to continue deployment.
