Abstract:
A hypervisor and a DMAP server in a network are described herein. The hypervisor is configured to generate a universally unique identifier (UUID), associate the UUID with a virtual NIC, construct a discover message including the UUID and the hypervisor's network address, broadcast the discover message in the network. The DMAP server is configured to generate a MAC address that is unique in the network, receive the discover message, and associate the generated MAC address with the UUID in response to the discover message, construct an offer message having the MAC address, the UUID, and the network address of the DMAP server, and transmit the offer message to the hypervisor.
