Configure a mac-address on a cisco2503

[rburkhard]

Hi,

Short question. Configuring a mac-address on a Eth interface. Should the 'VendorCode' of the new mac-address be 'cisco' or can I define a mac-address without any qualification?

Thanks in advance

There is no requirements other than it should be unique on the specific subnet it is connected to.

Hi,

I have tried to configure some mac-address on int Eth0. Sometimes it's ok, sometimes not.(See below.)

Do you have any explanation?

Thanks Ruedi
