set bonding mac

Use this command to set the VSB system MAC address.

Syntax

Parameters

Defaults

VSB MAC address defaults to an internal MAC address associated with VSB chassis 1.

Mode

All command modes.

Usage

By default, VSB sets the VSB system MAC address to an internal MAC address associated with VSB chassis 1. Use this command to manually set a MAC address for the VSB system. It is recommended that the MAC address be set to the same value on all chassis before globally enabling VSB. A VSB system supports unique MAC addresses on each chassis, but doing so will require a master election of one of the system chassis when adding chassis to the system. The master election requires a system reset potentially resulting in loss of data.

Locally administered MAC addresses create the possibility for duplicate MAC addresses on the network. Be sure that the MAC address assigned using this command does not duplicate an already existing MAC address on the network.

Note

The VSB system MAC address can not be changed while VSB is globally enabled on the system. You must disable VSB using set bonding disable before attempting to manually change the VSB system MAC address.
