If a MAC address source is required by your ISP, enter the following information in
the Router's MAC Address area:
•
MAC Address Source: Typically, you use the unique 48-bit local Ethernet
address of the security appliance as your MAC address source. If your ISP
requires MAC authentication and another MAC address has been previously
registered with your ISP, you can enter a different MAC address to use for
this purpose.
-
Use Default Address: Choose this option to use the default MAC
address.
-
Use this computer's MAC address: Choose this option if you want to
use the MAC address of your computer as the MAC address source.
-
Use This MAC Address: Choose this option if you want to enter a MAC
address that your ISP requires for this connection (sometimes called
MAC address cloning). Enter the MAC Address in the format
XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX where X is a number from 0 to 9 (inclusive) or an
alphabetical letter between A and F (inclusive), as in the following
example: 01:23:45:67:89:ab
