Figure 62 The Translate MACs Option

Toggling this option affects the display of MAC addresses in all areas of 3Com Network Director other than in the reports, which always display the raw MAC addresses.

3Com Network Director3Com Network Director uses a list of fixed mappings from OUI to vendor name to perform this translation. As new OUI values are assigned to vendors on a regular basis it is possible that 3Com Network Director will not have a mapping for a particular device in your network. In such a case 3Com Network Director will simply display the full MAC address. For more information about how you can extend this list yourself to include new mappings, refer to Appendix G.
