Chapter 7 Using Advanced Settings
MAC Cloning
A MAC (Media Access Control) address is a unique hexadecimal code that identifies
a device on a network. All networkable devices have a MAC address. When replac-
ing another network device with the Router, the installation process can be simpli-
fied by copying the MAC address of the existing computer to the Router. To do this:
1. Click MAC Cloning in the Advanced screen. The “MAC Cloning” screen
appears.
2. Enter the MAC address to be cloned in the “To Physical Address” text boxes.
3. Click Clone My MAC Address. The Router will now have the new MAC address.
ARP (Address Resolution Protocol) Table
Clicking ARP Table in the Advanced screen generates the “ARP Table” screen. This
screen displays the IP and MAC addresses of each DHCP connection.
