MAC
Spoofing
appears on this

MAC spoofing allows you to set the Media Access Control (MAC) address of your system. See

Enabling MAC spoofing
Note
You should only enable MAC spoofing if your Service Provider has
requested that you do so. In most cases, you will
not
need to do this.
Your Service Provider identifies your modem by its unique hardware number or Media Access Control (MAC) address. If
you are using PPPoE Internet access, your Service Provider may want you to
spoof
the identity of a different device. You
can spoof the MAC address of another device by replacing your systems existing MAC address with another device’s
address. Your Service Provider will provide you with the replacement MAC address.
Note
You can only configure MAC spoofing if you are using PPPoE Internet access.
If your Service Provider instructs you to change your systems default MAC address, follow the instructions below:
