-TRex set source-mac of all port to `00:00:00:01:00:00` and expected to get to this MAC address `00:00:00:01:00:00` without a config file.
-so you just need to configure router with the right MAC address.
+Without config file, TRex sets source MAC of all ports to `00:00:00:01:00:00` and expects to receive packets with this destination MAC address.
+So, you just need to configure your router with static ARP entry pointing to the above MAC address.
-NOTE: Virtual routers on ESXi (for example, Cisco CSR1000v) must have a distinct MAC address for each port. Specify the address in the configuration file. see more xref:trex_config[here]. Another example is where the TRex is connected to a switch. In that case each of TRex port should have a distinc MAC address.
