Examples
1: Create a MAC address pool.
The first command gets the host group named "Production" and stores it in the $HostGroup variable.
The second command creates a MAC address pool named "MAC Address Pool 01" with an address range beginning with "00-1D-D8-B7-1C-00" and ending with "00-1D-D8-F4-1F-FF", as delineated by the MACAddressRangeStart and MACAddressRangeEnd parameters. The command also associates the pool with the host group stored in $HostGroup.
PS C:\> $HostGroup = Get-SCVMHostGroup | where { $_.Path -eq "All Hosts\HostGroup02\Production" }
PS C:\> New-SCMACAddressPool -Name "MAC Address Pool 01" -VMHostGroup $HostGroup -MACAddressRangeStart "00-1D-D8-B7-1C-00" -MACAddressRangeEnd "00-1D-D8-F4-1F-FF"
