888APPENDIX G: ADDING MAC ADDRESS VENDOR TRANSLATIONS

The fields are defined as follows:

<MAC address> is the first three bytes of the MAC address, in hexadecimal format. For example, 000102

<vendor> is the vendor’s name. Single spaces are allowed, however two or more consecutive spaces will be interpreted as a separator between the <vendor> and <description> fields. For example, 3Com-Corporation is valid, but 3Com--Corporation is not (where “-” indicates a space character).

<description> is a field where you can provide your own description of the translation. Network Director does not use this field.

Lines beginning with a “#” character are considered to be comments and are ignored.

For example, the following would be a valid vendor translation:

000102 3Com 3COM CORPORATION
