Resolve

Change dynamic MAC Address to static MAC address

The default number of dynamic MAC addresses for virtual machines (256) has been exceeded. Turn Off the virtual machine and allocate a static MAC Address, then restart the virtual machine.

Note: Turning off a virtual machine is equivalent to powering off a computer, so data loss is possible.

Verify

The virtual machine starts and runs network operations without any problems.
