MAC Address

• Cloning Mode - You can clone the MAC address of any network device

onto the Bridge. To disable MAC address cloning, keep the default setting,

Disable. To use the MAC cloning feature, select Enable.

If you have enabled MAC cloning, then select Auto if you want to clone the

MAC address of the device currently connected to the Bridge’s LAN port.

The Bridge will actively scan for a new MAC address to be cloned when-

ever you disconnect and re-connect the Bridge through its LAN port. Select

Manual if you want to specify a MAC address in the Enter MAC Address

field. This is useful when the Bridge is connected to multiple devices

through a switch or a hub.
