Abstract
In some examples, a node in a distributed system may receive one or more IP addresses for use with one or more virtual machines. For example, at least one of the received IP addresses may be encoded into a respective MAC address. Further, a hypervisor implemented on the node may configure a virtual machine on the node. For instance, configuring the virtual machine may include passing the encoded MAC address to the virtual machine through the hypervisor. The virtual machine may be configured to decode the IP address from the encoded MAC address, and the IP address is assigned to the virtual machine.
