WatchGuard Technologies SOHO 6.1 manual Enable override MAC address for the External Network

Firewall Options

Follow these steps:

1Select Log All Allowed Outbound Access.

2Click Submit.

Enable override MAC address for the External Network

A SOHO administrator is able to assign a second MAC address to the SOHO 6 External Network making it easier to register with an ISP that requires a separate MAC for registration.

1Select Enable override MAC address for the External Network.

2Enter the MAC address that will be assigned to the SOHO 6 External Network.

NOTE

If the External Network override MAC address text box is cleared and the SOHO 6 is rebooted, the SOHO 6 will automatically go back to the factory-default External MAC address.

3 Click Submit.

As a guard against MAC address collisions, the SOHO 6 will look for the External Network override MAC address periodically. If the SOHO 6 finds two devices on the local network with the same MAC address, the SOHO 6 will automatically reset itself to the factory-default External MAC address and reboot.
