Modifying Advanced Properties

The Locally Administered Address allows you to replace the MAC address 
originally assigned to the adapter with a user-defined address. The user-
defined address that you assign to the adapter is called a locally 
administered address.

A locally administered address overrides the original MAC address 
stored in the AT-2711 series adapter card. When you change the 
MAC address, ensure that a unique MAC address is assigned.

Here are guidelines for assigning a locally administered address:



The address must be unique.



The address consists of a 12-digit hexadecimal number, for 
example, “020C46005501.”



The address must start with “02” in the most significant byte, for 
example, “020304050607.”



Do not assign “0000 0000 0000” or “FFFF FFFF FFFF.”



The range is from 0200 0000 0000 to 02FF FFFF FFFF.

To assign or change the Locally Administered Address, do the following:

1. Access the Advanced Properties.

See “Accessing Advanced Properties” on page 76. 

2. Select Locally Administered Address in the Property box.

The Locally Administered Address page is displayed as shown in
