numbers in 8300/8635 stack configurations.

There is no simple rule to find the MAC address of other TrBRF, but it is always in the range below:

Stack Master Base Address + 32 < TrBRF MAC Address < Stack Master Base Address + 95. And a TrBRF (VLAN) MAC address is assigned, when the VLAN becomes preferred (i.e. it has an assigned port in the actual switch or stack of switches) by selecting the lowest available MAC address above Stack Master Base Address + 32.

If management (SNMP or TELNET) contact with the switch is lost (e.g. because ports are moved from one TrBRF to another) it is suggested, that a terminal is connected to the OBM port of the switch stack, and the IP Configuration menu is entered. From here, it is possible to read the MAC address of the management entity (TrBRF).

Address Format

Display format used for MAC addresses (canonical or non-canonical). Canonical format is typically used in Ethernet networks and is also known as least significant bit first. Non-canonical is typically used in Token-Ring networks and is also known as most significant bit first.

System Name

Any name you choose to assign to the switch (on a TCP/IP network, it could be the IP hostname).

System Location

Physical location of the switch.

System Contact

Person to contact if questions should arise.
