Access Point MAC Addresses
The MAC address is a unique identifier for networking devices. Each LAN device
(including Ethernet cards, bridges, routers, and gateways) is identified by a unique
factory-set MAC address:
One MAC address for the wired Ethernet interface, which is printed on the AP.
One MAC address for the RoamAbout PC Card installed in the AP, which is printed
on a label on the back side of the card.
RoamAbout wireless clients are identified by the MAC address of the RoamAbout PC
Card. You cannot change the universal MAC address of a networking device.
RoamAbout R2 MAC Addresses
The RoamAbout R2 has the following MAC Addresses allocated to it:
One MAC address for the wired Ethernet interface, which is printed on the AP.
One MAC address for each RoamAbout PC Card installed in the AP, which is printed
on a label on the back side of the card.
One MAC address for the Spanning Tree. This MAC address is the wired MAC
address plus 10 hex. For example, if the RoamAbout R2 MAC Address is
xx-xx-xx-xx-xx-40, the Spanning Tree MAC Address will be xx-xx-xx-xx-xx-50.
If using SNMP, you may see additional MAC Addresses, starting with the MAC address
printed on the AP. These additional 30 MAC Addresses are used internally and do not
generate network traffic.
