39 Chassis MAC Server (CMS)
The Chassis MAC Server (CMS) manages MAC addresses on the switch. The MAC addresses managed
via the CMS are used as identifiers for the following functions:
•
Base chassis MAC address
•
Ethernet Management Port (EMP)
•
VLAN router ports
Similar to IP addresses, MAC addresses are assigned by the Internet Assigned Numbers Authority (IANA)
and distributed to users in sequential blocks. A sequential block of MAC addresses is referred to as a MAC
address range.
The MAC address range is stored on the switch's EEPROM. The switch supports one MAC address range
only. By default, this MAC address range contains thirty-two (32) factory-installed, contiguous MAC
addresses.
MIB information for the Chassis MAC Server commands is as follows:
