Hello. Is it possible to change MAC address on VERO 4k like on Raspberry PI3? If yes, how can I do it? Thanks for help.

I guess (not owning a Vero4k) sudo ifconfig eth0 hw ether d4:53:39:b8:53:39 should work

I will try it. Thank you.

Do you want to change it for Ethernet or WiFi?
It can be changed in the bootloader environment as well, but I don’t recommend this.

Hello Sam. I want to change it for Ethernet. I need specific mac address. Without this change I can not connect to the Internet. I need the same mac address which a i used with raspberry. I had the same problem with raspberry and it was solved after editing cmdline.txt (Raspberry Pi – How to spoof MAC address – O'Brien Labs).
sudo ifconfig eth0 hw ether xx:xx… works, but only before restart. I need to change mac address permanently. How can I do it? Thank you.

I recommend additing it to /etc/rc.local then. Then it will be set, in software on every boot.

You can also do it with sudo fw_setenv mac “xx…” to make it permanent, but this will void your warranty.
