Hello everyone,

I am hoping someone can help me with this. I am trying to have more than 32 network interfaces on my EVE-NG lab VM. These interfaces will connect to various routers, themselves running as VMs. No external access is required, just VMs to EVE-NG on specific cloud networks.

I know I can use a linux bridge with VLAN's but I rather do this as a last resort.

I have already edited QemuServer.pm to allow me to add more than 32 nic's to the EVE-NG VM, and when I add the additional NICs to the VM; it boots but the MAC addresses are jumbled with NIC 32 taking NIC 0's MAC, 33 - NIC 1, and so forth.

How can I add the additional NICs to the VM?
