Network Address (LAA)
The Network Address (LAA) 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 (LAA).
Caution
A locally administered address (LAA) overrides the original MAC
address stored in the AT-2701 series adapter card. When you
change the MAC address, ensure that a unique MAC address is
assigned.
Guidelines for
Assigning a
Locally
Administered
Address
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.
