DESCRIPTION

This object is used by a device (with
a Token Ring interface) to set a
Locally Administered Address
(LAA) for its MAC hardware
address. When set, this LAA will
override the default Universally
Administered Address or burned-in
address of the interface.

For devices that do not support LAA:

a read will return all zeroes

any write attempt will return BADVALUE

For devices that suport LAA:

valid values are 4000 0000 0000 to 4000 7fff ffff, and 0000
0000 0000 (a value of all zeroes causes interface to use the
burned-in address).

a set (write) with an invalid value returns BADVALUE.

after a write, new values will only become active after
Token Ring interface has been closed and then opened
again.

a read of ctIfLAA will always return the same value as
ifPhysAddress, except in the case where; o ctIfLAA has
been set, but interface has not yet been closed and
re-opened. In this case the last set value is returned.

Note that a read of ifPhysAddress will always return the
physical address currently being used by the interface.
