Cisco Small Business WRV210 Administration Guide
Some ISPs require that you register a MAC address, which is a unique 12-digit
code assigned to a network device for identification. If you previously registered a
different router's MAC address with your ISP, you can use the MAC Address Clone
feature to associate the registered MAC address with your WRV210 Router. This
feature saves you the trouble of contacting your ISP to change the registered MAC
address to the Router's MAC address.
Click Setup > MAC Address Clone in the navigation tree.
To use MAC address cloning, select Enabled in the MAC Address Clone field.
Enter the following information:
•
MAC Clone Address: Enter the MAC Address that is registered with your
ISP for your Internet account.
•
Clone My MAC Address: Click this button if you want to clone the MAC
address of the PC you are currently using to configure the Router. The
Router automatically detects your PC's MAC address. You do not have to
call your ISP to change the registered MAC address to the Router's MAC
