Unique MAC Identifier Utility Options
1) Set Hostname with Unique MAC wizard
Select this option to set:
- A host name
- A unique MAC setup number between 1-254
This option adds the _asg suffix and setup number to the setup name. For example:
Setup Name
|
Suffix
|
Setup number
|
61000_GW
|
_asg
|
22
|
This creates a new hostname with a Unique MAC Identifier of 22
New Host Name
|
Unique MAC Identifier
|
61000_GW_asg22
|
22
|
The setup number replaces the Unique MAC Identifier value of 254. After reboot, all data interface MAC addresses now have the new Unique MAC Identifier value 16.
For example: eth1-01 00:1C:7F:XY:ZW:16
|
Note - The last octet for eth1-01 (shown in bold) is 16 hex (22 decimal).
|
2) Create a Unique MAC Identifier from the current host name
Use this option to automatically assign a new Unique MAC Identifier to the applicable interfaces. The new Unique MAC Identifier is based on the setup number in the host name. For this reason, the current host name must first comply with the setup name/asg suffix/setup number convention.
3) Manual Set Unique MAC
Use this option to change the unique MAC according to your own input without changing the host name value. The existing host name does not have to comply with the setup name/ asg suffix/setup number convention.
4) Revert to Unique MAC Factory Default
Use this option to set the Unique MAC identifier to the default value (254).
