Multiple mac addresses

I have several clients with multiple wired network adapters, and thus also multiple mac addresses.

Is there a way to set two mac addresses for one client in OPSI? Then it would not matter which adapter is connected.
When installing a netinstall product opsipxeconfd would make two files in /tftpboot/linux.

Apparently the Supermicro C7Q67 only supports Wake-on-LAN on one LAN port, and not both LAN ports. That makes it a lot simpler: just use the WOL-capable mac address.
But still, when revising this part of the code, it might be worth implementing. Without WOL you would still have netboot capability on both LAN ports.

Hello SisterOfMercy,

a feature to add multiple mac addresses to one client is not yet planned.

While I think that the demand for this is reasonable I think that changing such a part of OPSI is a major undertaking that would require a lot of resources.
I also can imagine a lot of place where multiple mac addresses would interfere and would need a lot of testing to make sure nothing brakes.


Kind regards
