Assigning the

Locally

Administered

Address

The Locally Administered Address 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.

Caution

A locally administered address overrides the original MAC address stored in the AT-2911GP 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 Locally Administered Address, do the following:

1.Access the Advanced Properties.

See “Accessing Advanced Properties” on page 87.

2.Select Locally Administered Address in the Property box.
