    VVDN_T4MFCS_Scaleout_User_Manual Rev. A0-03 Configuring the Network Interface 2.2.1 Finding and Changing the MAC Address The MAC address on the T4240MFCS is set by the ethaddr environment variable in U-Boot. If ethaddr is not set, it can be set using the setenv command. Example setenv ethaddr 00:11:22:33:44:55 The MAC Address can be found using the printenv command in U-Boot.
