4.4 MAC Address and MAC Database Commands
This section describes the commands you use to configure and view information about the
system MAC address and the MAC address table.
4.4.1 network mac-address
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').
