Guidelines for Assigning a Locally Administered Address

Assigning the

Network Address

(LAA)

The Network Address (LAA) allows you to replace the MAC address originally assigned to the adapter with a user-defined address. The user- defined address that you assign to the adapter is called a locally administered address (LAA).

Caution

A locally administered address (LAA) overrides the original MAC address stored in the AT-2701 series adapter card. When you change the MAC address, ensure that a unique MAC address is assigned.

Here are guidelines for assigning a locally administered address:

The address must be unique.

The address consists of a 12-digit hexadecimal number, for example, “020C46005501.”

The address must start with “02” in the most significant byte, for example, “020304050607.”

Do not assign “0000 0000 0000” or “FFFF FFFF FFFF.”

The range is from 0200 0000 0000 to 02FF FFFF FFFF.

To assign or change the Network Address (LAA), do the following:

1.Access the Advanced Properties.

See “Accessing Advanced Properties” on page 60.

2.Select Network Address (LAA) in the Property box.

The Network Address (LLA) page is displayed as shown in Figure 33 on page 64.
