system MAC address and the MAC address table.

This command sets locally administered MAC addresses. The following rules apply:
•
Bit 6 of byte 0 (called the U/L bit) indicates whether the address is universally
administered (b'0') or locally administered (b'1').
•
Bit 7 of byte 0 (called the I/G bit) indicates whether the destination address is an
individual address (b'0') or a group address (b'1').
•
The second character, of the twelve character macaddr, must be 2, 6, A or E.
A locally administered address must have bit 6 On (b'1') and bit 7 Off (b'0').
