mac address in bridged mode
I'm using --vmnet-mode=bridged, and my debian bookworm guest is able to get an IP that's in the same subnet as the macos(11.7.8) host. While it "works", I see that my router's dhcp server sees both the macos host and the debian guest IPs on the same MAC address. This MAC address is the same as the bridged interface's MAC address on the macos host. Using the arp command, I've verified that other hosts on my network also see the same mac address for both the macos host IP and the debian guest IP. Am I doing something wrong? After some digging, I found that Parallels also had a similar issue with the vmnet framework for a bit before they resolved it.
