Enabling PBF and Specifying a MAC Address for the PFC2
The MAC address can be a default or user-specified MAC address. The default MAC address is taken
Note
from a MAC address PROM on the Catalyst 6000 family switch chassis. When specifying a MAC
address using the set pbf mac command, ensure that the MAC address is unique and not already
being used on any interfaces.
We recommend that you use the default MAC address provided by the MAC address PROM. When
you specify your own MAC address using the set pbf mac command, if the MAC address is a
duplicate of a MAC address already in use, packets might get dropped.
