Syntax Definitions
start_mac_address The first MAC address in the modified range. Enter the MAC address in

Usage Guidelines
•
Because the factory-installed 32 MAC addresses are sufficient for most network configurations, this
command should only be used by qualified network administrators for special network requirements.
•
After modifying a MAC address range by using the mac-range eeprom command, you must reboot
the switch. Otherwise, MAC addresses for existing VLAN router ports will not be allocated properly.
•
All MAC addresses in a range must be contiguous (i.e., there cannot be any gaps in the sequence of
MAC addresses).
