Locally Administered Address
The Locally Administered Address 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.
Caution
A locally administered address overrides the original MAC address
stored in the AT-2911GP series adapter card. When you change the
MAC address, ensure that a unique MAC address is assigned.
