MAC-Layer Address

All LAN interfaces (ports) require unique MAC-layer addresses, also known as hardware addresses.

Typically, the MAC address of an interface is stored on a memory component that resides directly on the

interface circuitry; however, the OIR feature requires a different method. For a description of OIR, refer

to the “Online Insertion and Removal” section on page5-1.

The OIR feature allows you to remove a cableinterface line card and replace it with another identically

configured one. If the new cableinterface line card matches the cable interface line card you removed,

the system immediately brings it online. In order to allow OIR, an address allocator with a unique MAC

address is stored in EPROM on the Cisco uBR7225VXR universal broadband router midplane. Each

address is reserved for a specific slot in the router regardless of whether a cable interface line card

resides in that slot.

The MAC addresses are assigned to the slots in sequence. This address scheme allows you to remove

cable interface cards and insert them into other universal broadband routers without causing the MAC

addresses to move around the network or be assigned to multiple devices.

Note Storing the MAC addresses for every slot in one central location means that the addresses stay with the

memory device on which they are stored.
