The MAC address of the system does not appear on the token ring network.
The MAC address on the network is in noncanonical format.
The MAC address encoded on the EEPROM and printed on the label is in canonical format and needs to be converted to noncanonical format. Each byte, represented by the number pairs below, consists of 8 bits. To convert the canonical byte 1A (in hexadecimal) to the noncanonical byte, you must mirror the bits, as shown.

The MacAddrConvert command converts a MAC address in canonical format to noncanonical format. For example, if you enter:
MacAddrConvert 0800021A4B5C
The system displays the following:
%10004058D23A
