CirrusMAC Masquerade
Help with how to use MAC Masquerade on a vCMP Guest (VIPRION). We migrated from 8950 to a vCMP Guest but never changed the MAC Masquerade Address in the Traffic Group. I believe this should be changed. Does anyone have any instructions on how to come up with the MAC address on a vCMP guest? I don't want to have issues with each vCMP guest.

As far as I know, there is no difference between configuring MAC masquerade in a 8950 or vCMP guest. In v11/v12 the MAC masquerade is per traffic group, so you should have a different traffic group per vCMP guest, and the vCMP host should not have HA configuration.
The traffic group in each vCMP guest should have different MAC, otherwise it would break the vCMP design. So, you can still apply F5 recommendation to create MAC masquerade.
