Issue
On the Palo Alto Networks VM-Series, MAC addresses displayed in the CLI for the configured dataplane interfaces is specific to PAN-OS. They do not reflect the MAC address assigned to the interface in VMWare.
For example:
> show interface hardware
total configured hardware interfaces: 6
name id speed/duplex/state mac address
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
ethernet1/1 16 10000/full/up 00:1b:17:f1:66:10
ethernet1/2 17 10000/full/up 00:1b:17:f1:66:11
ethernet1/3 18 10000/full/up 00:1b:17:f1:66:12
ethernet1/4 19 10000/full/up 00:1b:17:f1:66:13
ethernet1/5 20 10000/full/up 00:1b:17:f1:66:14
Resolution
To determine the VMWare assigned MAC addresses, use the show system state | match hwaddr command. This command can be used to pull the MAC address for each interface from the runtime configuration data present on the VM-Series firewall instance.
For example:
> show system state | match hwaddr
