Cabletron Systems ELS10-26 manual This object is used by a device with

TCP/IP MIB-II

STATUS	mandatory
DESCRIPTION	This object is used by a device (with
	a Token Ring interface) to set a
	Locally Administered Address
	(LAA) for its MAC hardware
	address. When set, this LAA will
	override the default Universally
	Administered Address or burned-in
	address of the interface.

For devices that do not support LAA:

a read will return all zeroes

any write attempt will return BADVALUE

For devices that suport LAA:

valid values are 4000 0000 0000 to 4000 7fff ffff, and 0000 0000 0000 (a value of all zeroes causes interface to use the burned-in address).

a set (write) with an invalid value returns BADVALUE.

after a write, new values will only become active after Token Ring interface has been closed and then opened again.

a read of ctIfLAA will always return the same value as ifPhysAddress, except in the case where; o ctIfLAA has been set, but interface has not yet been closed and re-opened. In this case the last set value is returned.

Note that a read of ifPhysAddress will always return the physical address currently being used by the interface.
