I've just noticed that the MAC address of the tap interfaces created for bhyve VMs differs from the MAC address of the virtio interface inside the VM:
Is this normal behaviour? The '00:a0:98:xx:xx:xx' MAC address range is assigned to NetApp. It was seeing my switch report a NetApp device on my network that led me to discover this.
| VM | tap interface MAC (outside VM) | virtio interface MAC (inside VM) |
|---|---|---|
test01 | 58:9c:fc:10:af:2f | 00:a0:98:13:db:21 |
unifi | 58:9c:fc:10:ff:c3 | 00:a0:98:6f:e0:09 |
