Using Site Manager
To disable or reenable the use of the hardware MAC address, complete the
following tasks:
Entering a MAC Address Override Value
The MAC address override value redefines the hardware MAC address for the
interface. It also defines the end-station identifier for the interface when
automatically generating the user part (suffix) of an SVC ATM address.
Using a MAC address override value is very helpful when you want to hot-swap
ATM link modules. For example, when hot-swapping ATM link modules, you can
enter the MAC address of the original ATM link module as the MAC address
override value for the new ATM link module. This allows you to keep the
information already configured on the existing ATM link module while
maintaining the integrity of the existing client information on the network.
